He sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
He tries to tell me what I put inside of me
He got the answers to ease my curiosity
He dreamed up a god and called it Christianity

God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell, I'll see you there

He flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
He made a virus that would kill off all the swine
His perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
Demands devotion atrocities done in his name

God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell, I'll see you there
Your god is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell, I'll see you there

God is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell, I'll see you there
(Your god is dead) God is dead and no one cares (and no one cares)
(Drowning in his own hypocrisy) If there is a hell, I'll see you there

    Song Meaning

    "He" refers to the main character, the beast, as particularly evidenced by the congruency of "he flexed his muscles" with other descriptions in this album. The part about sewing his eyes shut is a reference to all of a.) the new testament biblical references to the blind, b.) the first and later the second fatal head wounds. The virus referred to is a reference to both the beast's eventual infection with HIV and also his brand of Christianity which will be against police and military as is the killing off the swine reference, which is also a slanderous reference to the death of his piggy.
