| System of a Down – Chop Suey! Lyrics | 15 years ago |
| Very accurate interpretation. I seen an interview where they asked Serj Tankian and Daron Malakian what other jobs they could see themselves in if it wasn't for rock band. Daron answered that he might have been a preacher. He also said he really gets into religion and philosophy. So why do angels deserve to die? It has to do with Christ and the crucifixion and his last words, because it was written that he would have 12 legions of angels at his command Matthew 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? and Psalm 91:11-12 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. In both cases the angels failed him during the crucifixion and didn't come to his add. So do they deserve to die? He cried because they didn't do their job and Christ was beaten and hung on the cross as the angels stood and watched. | |
