| Godhead – The Reckoning Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
This is an anti-religious anthem. The song is told from two perspectives. The first is god: Come to me Kill for me Worship me Follow everything I do As you bow before me I'm the one they told you Would come again Let me show you all the signs To bring about the end The second is a rebutle by the narrator. He threatens the creator with bringing him down to the level of his creations and forcing him to experience the existence they are forced to live everyday: I'll take you down To a hole where you Will always be alone I'll turn you out On a world that doesn't Care if you belong I'll push you off Of the throne that You erected for yourself You will be tossed On a pile of all the Filth that you created The third verse is the creator mocking the narrator's failures and offering "protection" if he would only bow down: I watched you take the power In your hands and Throw it all away I knew you would Fall down again someday Come on now You know I won't hurt you Come on now I'm here to protect you Come on now I'll Lead you to shelter Come on now you know The narrator rejects this defiantly with a repeat of the threat of the chorus. |
