Wrath of God Lyrics

Christen them with paraffin
Sterilize Samaritans
Contravene loyal ties
Migrate them
Via pesticide

They’ll strip you of your heritage
Heritage
They’ll strip you of your heritage

Christen them with paraffin
Sterilize samaritans
Contravene loyal ties
Migrate them
Via pesticide

They’ll strip you of your heritage
Heritage
They’ll strip you of your heritage

Cover art for Wrath of God lyrics by Crystal Castles

I believe this song is about colonization of native and indigenous peoples throughout the world. I also think the verses are being said from the voice of a colonizer.

The title of the song I think also reflects the reasoning behind the colonizer, possibly "spreading Christianity throughout the world in the name of God" it is a wrath of God however of those being oppressed by the colonizer. Wrath being: Colonization, rape, torture, occupation, genocide, slavery, stripping of heritage, etc...

Christen them with Paraffin: Talking about forced religious conversion which happened throughout history (even today) to indigenous peoples with Christianity.

Sterilization: Many indigenous and native peoples were/are sterilized against their will so they could not reproduce.

Migrate them to pesticide: Indigenous and native peoples are marginalized while colonizers occupy their land, take all of the natural resources, and enslave them.
