I was there through the ages
Chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy
Oh, I was created by man
You know I'm
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I am the incubus
I lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your brain
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born
Unholy
I was created by man
Yeah I'm the Lord of the flies
You know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power
Comes the father of lies
Unholy
Unholy
I lay you down to sleep
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
And now you know
Know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy...
Chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
Oh, I was created by man
You know I'm
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your brain
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born
I was created by man
Yeah I'm the Lord of the flies
You know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power
Comes the father of lies
Unholy
Unholy
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
And now you know
Know that you are mine

wtf?? no comments?? GREAT SONG!
Some of the best vocal work by Gene Simmons.
How can this song have so few comments? It's AMAZING. \m/
brilliant song! i heard somewhere it's gene's reaction to religion. him being a jew, it's as if he's saying it causes more trouble than it helps... something like that anyways.
I am pretty sure it is talking about how people strive to be good and consider themselves to be "holy", but usually end up doing bad things anyway.
I don't think so at all, I think that it is suggesting more of a plague or perhaps the fallen nature in man
As well I think it also is about the hateful tendencies within man
It was said back in the 90s when this song came out it was refering to the evil we know as cancer after Eric Carr past away.
"The worm that burrows through your brain " probably is talking about bad thoughts "You created me on the day that you were born" What is crated when I was born is the original sin. "was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the Flies" Is a book that demonstrate that man by their nature are evil.
So I thick that probably is talking about nan evil nature.
