| Saviour Machine – American Babylon Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. For by the wine of the wrath of her fornication all the nations are fallen; and the kings of the earth committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth waxed rich by the power of her wantonness." (Rv. 18:2, 3) "And the kings of the earth, who committed fornication and lived wantonly with her, shall weep and wail over her, when they look upon the smoke of her burning, standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no man buyeth their merchandise any more;" (Rv. 18:9-11) This song is a requiem to America; the apocalyptic Babylon in Eric Clayton's belief. It speaks about the tyrannic reign of the Antichrist over the country, the persecution of the tribulation saints and the death of the once great nation. |

| Saviour Machine – Jesus Christ Lyrics | 16 years ago |

While "Bring them to life" is definitely the turning point in the song, I believe that the key point is actually "Without torture over belief". My interpretation is that the song is about a person that suffers persecution for being a Christian. The arguments used in it are the exact arguments that a atheist or anti-christian person uses to criticize our faith in Jesus, our Saviour. With that said, I believe the person quotes those who make him/her suffer while speaking to Christ, and enraged, asks for vengeance to Him, by leaving them behin, leaving them to die. And by asking it, he/she realizes how wrong he/she is and remembers when Christ said to love his/her neighbour as him/herself, and asks to God to bring them to life. He then, remembers the Promise that one day, we will be with Him. And where we'll be, there won't be hate, pain, suffering, insanity, death, fire (of hell), lies that feed the liar (the Antichrist), war, games, fear, fame, power, drugs, violence, rape, sickness, plagues, judgement, crimes, hope (we will be with God, there's nothing else to hope), time (for eternity will be ours. Amen!), two or three (for we will be one with Christ. Amen!), and finally, torture over belief, the reason of his/her suffering. Then, he/she asks to Jesus to bring us love, not only for the ones that persecute him/her, but also for him/herself, as he/she realizes that he/she also needs it. He/she also asks for all of us to see (the light? the way? God himself?) and to set us free (from this world). That's my interpretation, and I'm sorry if I couldn't make myself clear, English is not my native tongue. Peace. |
