Son the Father Lyrics
Made civilization out of the Nile silt,
Built your monuments out of my brother's bones,
Exalted your words in flesh-bound tomes
Who would ever want to be born again?
It's taken this long just to get to this place,
So what's the point in ever being born again?
The whole world before me I laid to waste
Built Jerusalem out of these hidden worlds,
But I won't share it with the other boys and girls
The living embodiment of perfect.
A reversed Oedipal complex based on power and not on the sex.
I did it all for you because of what I believe
The sins of he father carried out by the son
From Cain and Abel until the last living life is done
As our fates are moved by the hand of God
A God is what we see as we stare into his Papal eyes.
I believe it's about taking the power of the father (representing the government or higher power (possibly God?)) and taking it as your own to save the mother (Mother Earth or humanity) "A reversed Oedipal complex based on power and not on the sex"

Awesome song. It's about the futility of religion, tying to look at the bible with an open mind, from a different point of view. It's about mistakes and evil being inherent and being passed down.
Yea, it's definitely about religion -- specifically Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. The verses focus on, as cizzydo said, evil and corruption and how they are passed down from father to son [generation to generation]. Then I believe the chorus is essentially asking why anyone would want to be born again back into all this evil/corruption? It's a really well written, intelligent song.
This song is about grandchildren derp derp derp.
Just kidding, it's totally about the corruption prevalent in Christianity. And, RainyDaze, the "born again" bit is about the process of salvation, known to Christians as being born again because of Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus.
"This song is about how we've wasted our lives in history, on bullshit.". That's from lead singer Damian Abraham's mouth while on tour.
