Waging War Against God

This is a music video about freedom and tolerance. It is meant to warn against the misuse of religion and power in the hands of tyrants, and is not intended to be interpreted as intolerance for any religion in its true, peaceful form.

This song explores the folly of tyranny. It asks: “why do we grasp at eternity when we know it will leave us behind?”.

It also highlights that time and history are so vast that attempts of ownership and control will ultimately be consigned to the grave of memory, and memory is soon butchered by time.

This song embodies the longing for safety and the fight for freedom. The pomegranate is an ancient symbol that embodies fertility and abundance, but it is also the basis for the invention of the grenade. In the video it is shown as a synecdoche for the way that the bodies of women have been abused and dissected throughout history. There are also several alchemical Easter eggs for those who enjoy such symbolism. At the midpoint of the video, the narrative turns and the regenerative, divine strength of women and the power they command ultimately wins out against tyranny.
