The Teeth of God is such an interesting phrase to choose to me.

We have mouth of God, which innitates the idea of prophets; speaking God's words to Their followers. Then, we have hand of God, which is something utterly violent but done for the 'greater good' of humanity. Finally, we have eyes of God; omnipresent, imminent God who sees all and judges all with a mighty eye.

But Sleep Token, out of all the commonly chosen phrases, chose teeth. Ganshing, biting teeth that break and destroy. Sharp canines that, at least in the Bible, refrence the final judgement of sinners and their reaction to their punishment.

Just a thought.

#here I come finding religion in Sleep Token again #we always here about 'the mouth of God' and 'hand of God' but never once have I heard 'Teeth of God' outside the Bible #(I know a truamatised Catholic/C of E kid when I see one)#it also works incredibly well with Sleep Token's whole biting/consumption/eating thing #'I don't know what's got it's teeth in me but I'm about to bite back in anger' GET EM' VESSEL #sleep token #st #mel's rambles #sleep token analysis #teeth of god tour
