Bastard of the cross relentlessly
Strike fear preaching of his coming here
Scriptures, twisted words to provocate
Rapture from the lord your god so great

Bastards of Christ, die

He fucked himself to save you - put to death, masochist
For this his word berate truth - agonized, prophecized
Revive the book of fiction - blasphemy, gluttony, to deceive you and me
In battled disposition - hang the bitch on the cross
Entitle his convictions - blasphemous, lunatic
Your heart is full of hatred - bastards die,
Fuck your Christ, will survive,
Kill yourself, die

Bastard, for your god you compromise
Do without, search the truth you'll never find
Scriptures offer little to relate
Laughter from the lord into your face

Bastards of Christ, die

You think your god will save who - I will see, just believe
You fool, not true, no thank you - enemy of the cross
His word installs deception - pray to god, not for me,
For yourself, soon you'll see
You'll die for your religion - holy shit, pacifist
Untrue with choices given - nothing won, you are dead
Describe the holy vision - blacking out, final breath, meet with death,
Nothingness, die

    Okay, I agree on just about everything guiffporn says (except for the Cannibal Corpse thing. Musically, they are not only ahead of their genre but ahead of most musicians today. Listen to anything from Gallery Of Suicide on to see what I mean). Musically, Deicide kind of sucks. And vocally as well. If they didn't make every song they write to be some kind of blasphemy (this is coming from someone who also hates all forms of religion) then maybe it would mean more when heard. But with Deicide, if you've heard one song, you've heard them all. Blame It On God was good in my opinion. It actually had logic with its message and not just trying to be offensive. But I also agree that most death metal is crap. It could be a good genre if people would do it right but most people dont. The Crown and Cannibal Corpse are the true kings of death metal.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
