Comments
- The longest track on the album. The title has at least two distinct readings, and the album supports both:
- Goya's El sueño de la razón produce monstruos ("The sleep of reason brings forth monsters", Los Caprichos No. 43, 1799) — rationality abandoned makes space for demonic imagery. Consistent with an album called Inferno.
- The via negativa / apophatic mystical tradition (Pseudo-Dionysius, Meister Eckhart, The Cloud of Unknowing): the soul's ascent to God requires the abandoning of discursive reason, because God is beyond categories. Reason departs in the direction of gnosis — the ecstatic, unitive, wordless encounter.
- The runtime — 6:14 — is a common Christian shorthand for Matthew 6:14 ("For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you").
