This track also deals with break up. Peter Steele describes the way women’s love is hurtful to men. However, these lyrics should not be applied generally to all women, as Peter Steele himself explained in an interview that it was directed towards one person in particular, that is his ex-girlfriend.
[Part I: The Truth]
[Instrumental]
[Part II: God Love Fire Woman Death]
[Verse 1]
There is no pain like that of desire
Is there no difference between women and fire?
One burns the spirit, the other the flesh
Is sex worth the price of certain death?
[Chorus]
Absolution
I am whole
Absolution
I am
[Verse 2]
Open her loins and into the hearth
Don't let her flames consume your heart
For the quest of holy copulation
The end result? Self-immolation
[Chorus]
Absolution
I am whole
Absolution
I am
[Interlude]
Love is life
Life is love
Love is pain
Pain is death
[Part III: Jackhammerape]
[Verse 3]
Agony and ecstasy
Your cries of pain, my pleasure
Know my machine internally
Your torment I treasure
Lifeblood combines with semen
Your screaming, my laughter
The compressor is running smoothly
'Tis vengeance I am after
[Verse 4]
Begging becomes your love song
You're dying, haha! I masturbate
For the crime of burning me
I give to thee jackhammerape!
[Part IV: Pain (Is Irrelevant)]
[Bridge]
