The first band I thought of. RIP Geoff Mann.



I am the ceiling
you are the floor above me
rising into real
I am deceiving
you are the honesty
I pray that I could feel
I am confusion
you are the thought that heals
clarity of vision
I am delusions
you are the target struck
a shot of pure precision
and how I love you

I am delivered
I am a baby born
into your sacred peace
I was a prisoner
you were the key
that opened locks for my release
and Christ I love you




Freedom's Ling is donkey borne
A cross
The bleeding palms on main-street
Collecting nothing but the scorn
Of those who cannot bear their eyes to meet
Except in artificial light
Who needs to star in such a cast?
I leave collecting to the past
To one last party I asked them all and One
And when it was over I found that all but One had gone

Did Jesus have a gravestone upon which to carve His name?
When He came collecting the grave gave up its game
Now no-one collects worthwhile living
For it is a crop that grows from His seed of giving
Diaries
Drugs
A glittering crystal ball
Cathedrals
Palaces
Sweet sugar you can keep them all
Heaven is not for sale ...

Not a prog album, but I enjoy 'The Plan' by '(The) Osmonds;' A concept album about the Mormon faith they decided to make instead of going door-to-door, because they could reach more people this way. Supposedly (according to Wikipedia though I couldn't find evidence in the source) they were effective, either from this album or their fame overall, in bringing in new members to the church.

Noël, Noël. Born is the King of Israel!
If that's not religious, I dunno what is. xD

Not only "My God" but most of Tull's music of that era had some criticism to religion. a Passion Play, War Child, etc. all have a song or more that express Ian anderson's point of view on religion.

To be more exact I'd say, "My God" and "Wind-Up" from Aqualung are not really critical to religion as such, as these two songs express believing in the existence of God, but they're critical to the religious practices of the established Church of England. - I think that is quite important to state.

Hi,

"Passion Play" (JT) ... I am not sure the title is empty at all ... but I'm wanting to revisit the lyrics, now.

I'm not a great fan of folks spending their time talking about their God ... and in many cases it is downright ... not very good ... and I question a lot of the tone, and respect needed ... but then, most religions are known to be fake per their history anyway, and the translations and comments that are in the lyrics are so far and away from the stories, as to make the majority of these things ... really poor.

I find it bizarre, that news that were "reported" more than 300 years later, and the really poor translations that have been made and used ... are what "we believe" in ... and it's not any better in other religions where the dogma is decided by the folks in charge ... and you have to accept it.

The Vatican, for example, has everything needed in their catacombs to clean up the history and make the religion "pure" instead of some fantasy ideal ... but they won't even consider going there, and I think that one day that "edifice" of lies and bad translations is going to fall down ... hard!!!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Genesis' "Supper's Ready", second verse:

"Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand"

and the last verse:

"There's an angel standing in the sun
And he's crying with a loud voice
"This is the supper of the mighty one"
Lord of Lords, King of Kings
Has returned to lead his children home
To take them to the new Jerusalem"

There's so many thankfully and I would mention IONA who create such heavenly music to their Lord.
Utopian Fields from Norway released two quality albums with Christian lyrics.
Peter Gee from PENDRAGON, a known Christian has some solo albums.
