Fools of Damnation (The Embrace That Smothers Part IX)

I think it's about the god of the three major religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism). It's about his arrogance and how he demands that we worship him and kneel to him. He sees us only as slaves and servants, and out only purpose is to bow to him. He'll never set us free or release us from this, since refusing him means eternal punishment, and bowing to his wishes still means that you'll be doing it forever.

i dont like that the song is called fools of damnation and that it starts with ezan,something thats holy in my religion. i love epica and have all their albums,but this is the only song i never listened,to the end. i just dont want to. none of us know what the real meaning is,but the title says something too :/

U will never get the meaning until u live in a Islamic country without being muslim ... they feed you shit to digest !

It's about Islam The voice at the start is the islamic pray called "Azan"

Great song.

Damn, this song. It's so fun to sing along to although the meaning is kinda odd in my mind. I think it's about people who worship a person and the person is treating those people like slaves

Fool Dance with me again I am your destiny Mark my words, don't you ever disagree

Fool Kneel for me again I am your agony Walk my way, I will never set you free This seems like the ruler's point of view, saying they won't ever let them out of what they are tangled in.

Believing is the cure Religion is like opium You'd better feed them all Before they start eating you These are the people trying to escape perhaps?

Either way,this song is definitely one of my faves off The Divine Conspiracy. The chorus is just whoa. Just another beautiful song from Epica.

I really like the contrast in this song... the arabic sounds and a woman who reigns a man in stead of men dominating women. Again a song about organized religion.

"Et fictum fit factum" = A lie can become a truth That's so true in my opinion. The books are brainwashing.

My friends forced me to give them this song haha, just so that they could make up a belly dancing routine.

I think that the fact that in a world overrun by men, women have the most power. Its not about the influence of the type of music, it explains that religion is feeble and causes the destruction of humanity itself, and that they will look to a figure, be it man or woman, and do what they say. [uhmmmm crusades??? anyone??] and not to mention the fact that it is 100% fact that women control the world. hate to say it [me being a guy and all] but its true. " Bow down to the supremacy" The supremacy is the form of religion, as well as world politics. I mean seriously, North Korea is having its own occult issues. You have a relentless dictator, and everyone "bows down" to him.

ok, i dont know who wrote this song but it could have been a man probably, so it doesnt mean that because a woman is singing the song it is about a woman ruling the world. In Nightwish the songs are wrote by a man but they are sung by a woman, anywayz i do think this song is about Islam, maybe all religions in general, people who are blind are "fools" and they are blinded by their fate while the "supremacy" is feeding on them. it means religion most of the time is a falacy it is a weapon against humanity.

Is this song insulting God or smthn, or is it criticizing ppl who are at head of institutional religion and use it to dominate ppl? And if its abt how bad institutional religion is, why does it start with the Muslim "Azan"?
