Bread to Stone
Funeral Mist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter what, there will always be a certain snake
A certain tree that none can resist
Eat now! so that I can reach your soul
Cursed, and cursed again
Spiritual desert, dead sand
And of nothing and sand shall you be fed
Timeless torture
Bread to stone
Now pray for me like I pray for you
Bread to stone
Oremus... bread to stone
Oremus... bread to stone
Oremus... bread to stone
Embrace now the piss that is your birthright
No matter how your paradise is shaped
No matter what, there will always be a certain satan
A certain serpent to re-image your bliss
Eat now! until these rivers stream with poison
Cursed and indeed convicted
Drink now the soul of your heresy
And as a heretic shall you burn
Know God and you shall find truth
Timeless torture
Bread to stone
Love me now as I rape your children
over and over and over again and again and again...Again!...
And over and over again shall I crush your face like a putrid fruit,
for you have never thirst... for redemption
Behold, thou art made whole:
sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee
The lyrics of Funeral Mist's "Bread to Stone" reflect the idea of a religious punishment for the sinners. The mention of the paradise is a reference to the Garden of Eden and the serpent in the lyrics is representative of the devil. The lines "eat now! so that I can reach your soul" and "eat now! until these rivers stream with poison" suggest that the devil is manipulating the sinners into consuming a forbidden fruit which results in their spiritual downfall. The lyrics "blessed and cursed again" talk about the eternal condemnation of the sinners, who despite their realization of their wrongdoings, will continue to suffer.
The next lines "spiritual desert, dead sand" and "bread to stone" describe the spiritual decay and the painful transformation of the sinner's soul. The mention of "timeless torture" puts emphasis on the fact that the punishment is eternal and the sinners will not find redemption even if they pray. The line "love me now as I rape your children over and over again" is a metaphor that describes the ongoing cycle of sinning and the guilt that the sinners carry with them. The final line "sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee" depicts the teachings of punishment and the inevitability of facing the consequences of our sins.

No matter how your paradise is shaped
Regardless of how you envision your ideal world,
No matter what, there will always be a certain snake
There will always be someone or something that tempts and corrupts,
A certain tree that none can resist
An irresistible source of temptation,
Eat now! so that I can reach your soul
Give in to this temptation so I can spiritually manipulate you,
Cursed, and cursed Again
Doomed and doomed again,
Spiritual desert, dead sand
A barren and lifeless spiritual existence,
And of nothing and sand shall you be fed
You will survive on spiritual emptiness and decay,
For you have never thirst... for redemption
You have never truly desired salvation,
Timeless torture
Eternal agony,
Bread to stone
Your spiritual nourishment turning to ash and dust,
Now pray for me like I pray for you
Do me favors as I exploit your spiritual vulnerability,

Cursed and indeed convicted
Doomed and rightfully punished,
Drink now the soul of your heresy
Indulge in your wrong beliefs and actions,
And as a heretic shall you burn
You will suffer the consequences of your actions,
Know God and you shall find truth
Belief in a higher power will enlighten and guide you,
Love me now as I rape your children over and over and over again and again and again... Again!...
Accept and adore me as I commit unspeakable atrocities,
And over and over again shall I crush your face like a putrid fruit
I will repeatedly destroy you and dehumanize you,
For you have never thirst... for redemption
Once again, you have never truly desired salvation,
Behold, thou art made whole:
sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee
You can find spiritual healing, but must avoid further wrongdoing to prevent worsening consequences.
