| Trivium – Of Prometheus and the Crucifix Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
There are so many people swearing that the song isn't about Jesus, it's bordering on stupidity. Let me make my case: 1. The name of the song is "Of Prometheus and the Crucifix." This can be directly translated to [b]"About Prometheus and Jesus on the Cross."[/b] Google "Crucifix" if you have any doubts, here. 2. The lyrics include phrases like "It's the cross I bear," "Crown of Thorns, deathly boards," "Lion that will devour you whole," "Drink of the blood, take me in," etc. [b]All of these are references to verses in the Bible.[/b] Jesus is frequently referred as "The Lion of Judah" and in the Book of Revelations he destroys all of humanity (not to mention Mathew 10). 3. Many of the people claiming it's [i]not[/i] about Jesus often say that the lead singer is atheist. That's completely moot. Firstly, because American atheists must constantly discuss and reference religion and most of us were religious at some point in our lives, anyway. Secondly, because this song (and this album as a whole) are references to mythology. A Christian would [i]never[/i] compare Jesus to Prometheus, but an atheist just might! So let's be clear, the song [i]is[/i] about Jesus [i]and[/i] Prometheus. Any resemblance to real life situations are resemblances that can also be drawn to the stories of either Jesus or Prometheus (I'm looking at you Chrisguitar). |

(copypasta) You're wrong that it's not about Jesus. "Crucifix," "It's the cross I bear," "Crown of Thorns, deathly boards," "Lion that will devour you whole," "Drink of the blood, take me in," etc. There are many references to Jesus. The fact that you can ignore them is pretty impressive. As an atheist and former Christian, I talk about Jesus constantly. So I don't think him being an atheist precludes him from talking or singing about Jesus. |

| If you can't name the song it's a "rip-off of," then there's no good reason for anyone to believe you. | |

I think this song is about Nuclear Holocaust. The human species is nearly wiped out. A few thousand survivorsdig out of the ashes, inching toward death. I'm thinking the Fallout game series, on this one. |
