Holy Roller Lyrics

Holy Roller sits in the garden we fled
Blood into wine, take my body instead
Holy Roller sits in the garden we fled
Blood into wine, take my body instead
Holy Roller

Stand
To the left of me
In paradise
Holy Ghosts will

Born of blood
In seraphim
To grip the Nazarene
Crown of God
You wear it thin
To come and rapture me

Holy Roller sits in the garden we fled
Blood into wine, take my body instead
Holy Roller sits in the garden we fled
Blood into wine, take my body instead

Stand
To the left of me
In paradise
Holy Ghosts will
Fade
Into oblivion
Like a blade
Falling slowly
Curse the holy down

And when I die, you won't pray for me
That's when I learn to
Cut my ties
And when I die, you won't pray for me
That's when I learn to
Cut my ties

Stand
To the left of me
In paradise
Holy Ghosts will
Fade
Into oblivion
Like a blade
Falling slowly (down)

What is the Meaning of Holy Roller?

Exploring themes of religious oppression and personal liberation, this powerful track presents a critique of blind faith and the dangers it can pose. The lyrics depict a person's struggle with their religious beliefs, feeling trapped by doctrines and rituals that no longer serve them. The "Holy Roller" is a symbol for religious figures who exploit faith for their own gain. The repeated line "Blood into wine, take my body instead" suggests self-sacrifice, possibly referring to the pressure to conform to religious norms at the expense of one's individuality. The refrain about cutting ties indicates the protagonist's decision to break free from these constraints. Overall, this song is a poignant commentary on religion's potential for manipulation and control.
