Lord Xenu Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
Gravity, teach me the ways of retaliation, retaliation
I'd like every backbiter to know that audience
Is always priority, rather than the stage
It all comes down to this
Look elsewhere for books of narcissism
Pride is a trend that is far past swollen

[Breakdown: Mike Hranica]
Death through windows
Death through windows
Death through windows

[Verse 2: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
No longer can I live a life of no control
These stories we've been writing are water-thin
It's disheartening because I know that we are capable of vision
Blemishes are warnings so simply concentrate and apply pressure
And its branches will be broken, and its branches will be broken

[Verse 3: Mike Hranica]
The city to be punished
So many never listen and I drown in disgust
When you will you ever remember?
When will you realize?
False statements fall to the feet of dead gods
False statements fall to the feet of dead gods

About

This song is the 11th and final track of With Roots Above and Branches Below, which is suiting, seeing that the first track, “Sassafras”, also strongly alluded to trees–as does verse 2 of this song.

In this song, TDWP is frowning on the prideful and narcissistic whilst alluding to false idolatry and/or those who perform for the sake of money and fame as well as other material goods.

Xenu (aka “Overlord Xenu”) is a main figure in the Scientology belief, and may be referenced in the title as a form of bluff to those who believe in his existence, seeing that this song is frowning on false religion. He may also be referenced to show how unmerciful other religious figures are in comparison to Christianity’s God, seeing that Xenu is most known to have killed billions of his own people with hydrogen bombs because of the overpopulation of his home planet.
