Razah’s Ladder

Blue Sky Black Death & Hell Razah

Razah’s Ladder is about climbing the Ladder to Heaven. In the Book of Genesis, Jacob fell asleep in a barren desert one night and dreamed of a ladder on which angels were ascending to and descending from heaven.

Hell Razah appropriates the notion for himself and complicates the idea by asking, at the end of the track: “What exactly is this ladder? Who exactly is this ladder?” These questions set the tone.
