Then there's Slayer's "Raining Blood," a song about someone mired in purgatory after being jettisoned from heaven; the implication is that it's somewhere he doesn't want to be.
Amos has a different view:
Instead, she envisions purgatory as a place of shelter, a refuge for a badass with supernatural tendencies.
"She's a French Resistance woman whose sister was killed," she told Alternative Press about the "Raining Blood" character, who sports a jaunty beret and holds an ashed cigarette.
The woman "knows myths and is calling on power and working on alchemy" in response, however: "She went to the underground after the death of everyone she knew."
Trapped in purgatoryA lifeless object, aliveAwaiting reprisalDeath will be their acquittanceThe sky is turning redReturn to power draws nearFall into me, the sky's crimson tearsAbolish the rules made of stone
Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous pastBetrayed by manyNow ornaments dripping aboveAwaiting the hour of reprisalYour time slips away
Raining bloodFrom a lacerated skyBleeding its horrorCreating my structureNow I shall reign in blood
