Living Temples
Funeral Mist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kings shall fall...down be-
fore him, as the blood stiffens,
His praise all people sing:
Spill forth thine respendence!
and let thy rampant Glory
flow, piercing light on blind-
temples of Thy Word. Living
temples, living temples. Let every
heart prepare a throne and every
throat a brand new song.
To Him shall prayer unceasing,
and daily vows ascend, on wings
of murder still increasing, a
kingdom without end.
Come then, let us hasten!
and do his Will with hearts
aglow, kindled Death on
blindness pour, making us
living temples of the LORD.
Kingdom...without end.
Kings shall fall...down before
Him, as the blood stiffens, His
praise all people sing:
Spill forth thine resplendence!
and let thy rampant Glory flow,
piercing light on blindness pour,
making us living temples of Thy
Word.
Living temples, living temples.
Let every heart prepare a throne,
and every voice a brand new song.
The lyrics of Funeral Mist's song Living Temples explore the worship of an entity with divine authority and power; the song's themes center around the power of this entity and the subjugation of kings and people before it. The opening line sets the tone for the song; kings are shown to fall down before this entity, stiffening in its presence. The people sing praises and call upon the entity to spill forth its radiance and resplendence; they seek to be imbued with its power and sanctified by its presence. The song posits that this entity is the embodiment of the divine, and its followers seek to be transformed into living temples that embody its teachings and principles.
The middle section of the song depicts an endless kingdom that is perpetuated by prayer and daily vows, with murder serving as the catalyst for this unending cycle of worship. This lyric alludes to the idea that bloodshed and violence may be necessary to maintain the power and authority of the divine entity. The song's conclusion reinforces the idea that the entity's power is everlasting and that its will must be done. As the song comes to a close, the people call upon one another to hasten their worship, calling upon the entity to pour its radiance upon them and transform them into living temples.

Song and the movie clip makes total sense. Appreciate your thinking for using the clips from "The Holy Mountain" (a truly masterclass cinema ) to express the thoughts behind "Living temple" ,,,A pure classic from Funeral Mist. Horns up.
