Detonation Lyrics

Great God, I don't believe in you
But still I will do
What you want me to

Stand up and fight in the city streets
This much I know
You expect of me

And the ones who are given it all
The good looks, the wealth
And the charm and the innocence
They are all gonna fall
But I will take it back

Hail God, I had a dream of you
And how you respond
When your ego's bruised

They laugh and sneak
As they know you're weak
But I'll make them pay
With an IED

And the ones who are given it all
The good looks, the wealth
And the charm and the innocence
They are all gonna fall
But I will take it back

Whiny God, who the fuck are you?
Detonation for the greater good
Sweating, can hear my heart
'Cause when the world breaks
You will feel the blast

Cover art for Detonation lyrics by Steven Wilson

Steven said that this song is about terrorism, and how he believes that terrorists aren't actually religious and only use religion as a way to excuse their own hatred.

My Interpretation

@Deka7X9 or do people use religion to get others to do their "dirty work"??

But yes agree that many times people can use religion as an excuse to give meaning to their lives (which can manifest itself in terrorism, martyrdom)
