Puscifer - Sour Grapes Lyrics






And the angel of the lord led me
Into the belly of the holy mother
A chamber black as pitch
But I felt no fear, only comfort,

For I was as a child in the womb
And she bade me
"Peer through yonder portal
Which looked upon the heavens,
And behold! a mournin' angel"

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

She ascended slowly from far beyond the horizon,
Her light like a heavenly finger pointing the way
And on yonder wall she traced for me a path
Which led me five directions, eight winters to east,

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

And behold!
As my feet landed firmly
Upon the vital winter of the second score
There appeared before me a heavenly star

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

A holy virgin, the bringer of life and breath
And she spoke unto me saying
"Fear not the movement of the heavens above or the earth below
For change is what we are, my child.

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

Righteous are those
Who look up and sway with the wind,
Who look down and dance with the shifting of the soil,
Who swim with the movement of the tides

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

Who seek the truth around them
And discover that we are,
And have always been, in paradise.
The reflections of heaven on earth."
Amen!'

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

And she spoke again saying
"Know, my child,
That there is no devil seekin'
To cause guilt in the hearts to men.

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

No evil, save blind faith, ignorance,
And the desire for the unprepared
To blame others for the devastation
Left in the wake of change

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

Change, my child
Change is in the heavens
Change is on this earth
Change is all around us

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

And if we
Are reflections of the divine
We must roll with these changes,
For we are these changes.

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

Eyes wide open,
We must look upon
The heavens as a mirror.
Wide awake, aware, deeply breathing

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

And when the ship comes down, my child,
You will be there,
A true and holy survivor
To inherit the kingdom of God.

(Hal-le-lu-jah!)

You will rise above the grumbles of the unprepared
To greet the new day,
To drink from the sweet fruit of the vine,
The water of life, the blood of the risen Christ, my child."

(Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!)

"Go now, son,
Tell them all.
The ignorant, the blind paw of dogma,
Blinded by faith, the doubters, the nay sayers.

(Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!)

Tell them all, child,
They cannot see
The kingdom of God,
They cannot see paradise
Unfold before them

(Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!)

They cannot drink
From the chalice
Which holds the blood of Christ,
The water of life,
Until they get right with Jesus.

(Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!)

Until they get right with Jesus.
It's always gonna be
Sour grapes with you, boy,
Until you get right with Jesus.
Amen!"

(Je-ho-vah! Yah-weh!)

Puscifer Sour Grapes Comments
  1. D.... L....

    Am I the only one who doesn't know if this song is mocking religion or coming out as religious?

  2. B.... M....

    It will be epic if some priest preached this lyrics one day in a church, acting all serious.

  3. M.... ....

    https://youtu.be/K_4OrKZlL1M

  4. J.... D....

    Sorry about my drunk uncle, guys!

  5. c.... t....

    Praise he who has given us the opportunity to be part of the divine...what a masterpiece! 🍻

  6. P.... R....

    If this is mocking Yeshua, then this is on you Maynard. I pray that you and everyone else gets right with Yeshua, so that you will be saved, and you may find everlasting life and the eternal love of YHWH. Not the lucifarian synagogue of Satan who hates Christ and are the enemies of all humanity.

    P.... R....

    Its not mocking Christ. Gotta read between the lines with Maynard's lyrics. Its simultaneously a critique of organised religion and a genuine call to "get right with Jesus", which I take to mean - understand the true meaning of His Word, don't just "believe" in blind faith.

  7. M.... ....

    Christian Agnosticism

  8. D.... ....

    Sounds to me like Maynard's tryna to preach the Gospel! Amen, Brother!

  9. A.... S....

    Massive Attacky

  10. S.... C....

    Maynard. It has taken me 20 years to understand you.... and i must say i was lost for such a long time, like so many of your fans. I even spoke to you a long time ago (back in 2003) i was a kid, and you told me i was an idiot, and you were right. But now i get it, it's not about the music, the fans, or even you. It's the message, and i finally understand it and KNOW it. No belief necessary. Thank you so much James. We are all blessed.

  11. A.... B....

    💩🔥💎

  12. F.... E....

    This sounds like Massive Attack's song, Angel. I don't know if it's a tribute or just coincidence, but especially this album sounds similar to MA's music. Just in case... I'm a fan of Maynard's projects and I really like Puscifer as a band.

  13. t.... r....

    Haallllaluah brother...the price of salvation has gone through the roof....time for pink slips.

    t.... r....

    Where's the 🍷!?

  14. D.... H....

    I really like the Ya hu ah Ya Weh mantra

    D.... H....

    Daniel Hastie "Jehovah", Yahweh.. Like in Monty Python, where they're not supposed to say Jehovah, but he keeps repeating it over and over lol..

    D.... H....

    well technically its the same name

  15. T.... R....

    Ripe with jesus

    T.... R....

    Trumble Research This is the only good comment I’ve ever seen in the blighted hellscape that is the comments section of music involving Maynard

  16. m.... ....

    As much as I love maynards voice... the background singers make this song what it is.

    m.... ....

    morcova it's all him lol. He's just double tracking his voice over and over. With his range, though, it does sound like a bunch of different people. That's why he's my favorite singer of all time..

    m.... ....

    wrong. they lyrics make it what it is... you know nothing and Maynard hates you for it.

    m.... ....

    @Cam Good maybe some of it, I'm not at all sure, but there's some obvious female background singers too

    m.... ....

    @Cam Good theres literally a woman in puscifer fam

    m.... ....

    @Spiro Corbett I'm sure he loves stuck up pricks like you.

  17. A.... B....

    I think he is mocking those who limit themselves to one strict ideology. A voice tells him to get Right with Jesus, when he should know that the voice he hears is only his own, and the echoes of the words of others. But all of such things do disappear as we all come to dust, and so do our memories.

    A.... B....

    Andrea Berserkerbitch he was raised in a Church that was a very strict, Bible thumping, fire and brimstone type of group. When his mother, who had been a devout member of the church for many years, had an aneurysm and was left partially paralyzed, they told her and Maynard that it was God's punishment for her sinful ways..

    A.... B....

    I thought so too, and that's why I loved it then. Now I love it for the opposite reason, and little does he realize he created what may possibly be his most beautiful song through testimony of his journey. Jesus is just an additive.

  18. S.... A....

    the continuation of jambi

    S.... A....

    Sid Arthur eh

    S.... A....

    don't ask me what i was thinking then haha

  19. K.... A....

    I think MJK talks about his own point of view about the meaning of life in this song.
    At least, have a lot of sense to me think about the reason of the life it's the constant motion and change of the soul

  20. E.... ....

    Jehovah Yahweh
    Jehovah Yahweh
    Jehovah Yahweh

    E.... ....

    Is Maynard a raelist? This one and Indigo Children sound just like it, and he wrote about extraterrestrials in Lost Keys.

    E.... ....

    Rollo Dreher lost keys was about seeing aliens on a dmt trip

    E.... ....

    Brunetti Cabriolli The Demiurge !

  26. d.... ....

    Hi! We're a pop-punk band from Italy and this is our new lyric video. It'd be awesome if you could watch it and if you like it share with you friends :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRki6EYtH8U

  27. D.... S....

    Sounds to me like he is projecting his own ideas through the lyrics and his vocals, yet mocking the silliness of certain types of philosophical "pushers." 

    D.... S....

    True but also look into the divine black light of feminine energy

  28. L.... D....

    damn Maynard would make a great southern baptist! lol

    L.... D....

    He was born into a Baptist family and community in Ohio... When his mom had a stroke that left her paralyzed, the church ridiculed her & her family and blamed her for being a sinner, and that she deserved it. They did not support her & went out of their way to attack her. It's in his book.

    L.... D....

    That's just fucking cold

    L.... D....

    @PanzerAce44 Many Christians from all denominations do that even today....fanatics !

  29. j.... ....

    "The spiritual economy Is going right down the shitter, the operating costs of salvation are through the roof! But most concerning is this, you are confused and its our fault people, its mixed messages, we need to downsize these factions, stop with this my god's dick is bigger than your balogney sandwiches..."

  30. j.... ....

    If you listen carefully to the Where's The Line mix, it does sound as if he as making a mockery...but he's actually got some valid points. He mentions that a caller asked what denomination he was, and he replied that "therein lies the problem" and then went on to explain,

  31. T.... L....

    Jehovah knows whats up.

  32. R.... K....

    sounds more to me like he is saying what he wants religions to say for him.

  33. r.... ....

    sounds even less 'mocky' than usual... did Mr. Keenan become reborn :P
