 The very first line of the record is a quote from "The Great Chain of Being" by Arthur Lovejoy which reads "Everything, except GOD, has in itself some measure of privation, thus all individuals may be graded according to the degree to which they are infected with mere potentiality".Thus the EP seeks to show the debasement of Christ through his incarnation as a fragile mortal.It also references Georges Bataille's Base Materialism, as well as a motet for use during the Adoration of the Cross on Good Friday.
