Biffy Clyro: God and Satan

This bland, turgid nonsense is taken from Biffy Clyro's Mercury Prize nominated album. God save us. Satan save us. What are Biffy Clyro then? Christians or Satanists? Who are the extras in the incomprehensible video? Zombies? Rejects from Thriller maybe? This is obviously an attempt at writing a serious song but it fails miserably. Aside from the third-rate melody, the lyric is riddled with flaws. At one point the singer asks: 'Is this the pinnacle or is it the pinnacle, the pinnacle of being alive?' I don't know. How many pinnacles can you have? If you've already used the word 'miracle' then what could possibly rhyme with 'pinnacle'? Monocle? Oracle? I know- pinnacle! Enough said.
