Shakhan - Religion (Acoustic Studio Video)

Shakhan - Videos & Lyrics

Shakhan

Wow, this is my first go at splitting video. I feel like this song took me 3 days to do. Lots of hassle with software and file formats struggling to play on the computer. Anyway, I got there in the end. This song was written not long after I had moved to England from New Zealand. It is a SNAPSHOT of my thoughts after getting a glimpse at 'high church'. At that time I also met some very nice charismatic christians who at first, I thought were a bit wierd. RELIGION (lyrics) I saw religion had tied freedom from his shaven head to his toes. Then I heard freedom and he spoke saying his life was about to go. Then I heard someone shout "JOY be upon you" but I think it slipped off. In that place I heard no laughter only a cough. Why the bells, the smells and and what's that thing? No drums sounded out people seemed to be - mourning. I think religion's like paper work that doesn't have to be done. Who puts a bandae on a bandage when there's no cut on the thumb. Why give glory to the poor man wearing something like a dress? You know the one that thinks he has power to bless. Why's he carrying that great big shepherd's crook? I wish from his sheep he would unhook. I think Pentecostals broke out with G-d by breaking free from their chains. In flowed the spirit but so sadly out leaked fluid mixed with their brains. Yet they're surely riding on the crest of G-d's giant moving wave. Believing that he wants to speak wants to heal, to save. People let's throw away religion that's like a yolk. Strapped around our neck and then be FREE. Lyrics by Davyd Homan
