“… after finding an old book of church hymns from the mid-19th century, Houston singer-guitarist Ben Godfrey retooled the songs to make them modern-day dirges for some kind of impending apocalypse.” eMusic
‘You are a land that has no rain or showers in the day of wrath.’ There is a conspiracy of her princes within her like a roaring lion tearing its prey; they devour people, take treasures and precious things and make many widows withinher. Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them. Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust grain. Her prophets whitewash these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says’ —when the LORD has not spoken.
Ezekiel 22:23
