The Sermon
Brothers and sisters
We live in a troubled time
We live in a time, when lack of ability and talent is mistaken for genius
When jumping on a bandwagon is considered originality
Ah, we live in a time when a world-intended, much-needed musical revolution has been weakened, perverted, polluted
Until it's no more than a hideous fashion show
A fashion show that began as a rebellion itself against corporate mainstream
Yet, today it finds itself to be the very mainstream that it claimed to be an alternative to
While the bands who would before criticise arena rock stars now find themselves arena rock stars
What was once the antidote has now become the poison
The cure has become the disease
Ah, let the church say, 'Amen!'
Amen!
We live in a troubled time

A fashion show that began as a rebellion itself against corporate mainstream
Yet, today it finds itself to be the very mainstream that it claimed to be an alternative to
While the bands who would before criticise arena rock stars now find themselves arena rock stars
What was once the antidote has now become the poison
The cure has become the disease
Ah, let the church say, 'Amen!'
Amen!
