The Great Escape Lyrics
Calling the righteous
We're shaving our heads
To sing with the voice of the dead
Swearing off amends till the world ends, the world ends
You filled my cup with holy water
I swallowed everything
I joined your ranks of sons and daughters
The army of the slaves
Freedom now remains
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
Freedom now remains
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
Worship is worthless
Till we drain our purses
With sanity checked at the door
Reason is useless and what is it for?
You filled my cup with holy water
I swallowed everything
I joined your ranks of sons and daughters
The army of the slaves
Freedom now remains
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
Freedom now remains
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
Let me out
I want out
Let me out
I've seen the light
Let me out
I want out
Let me out
The muzzle burning oh so bright
Freedom now remains
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
Freedom now remains
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
We're shaving our heads
To sing with the voice of the dead
Swearing off amends till the world ends, the world ends
I swallowed everything
I joined your ranks of sons and daughters
The army of the slaves
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
Freedom now remains
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
Till we drain our purses
With sanity checked at the door
Reason is useless and what is it for?
I swallowed everything
I joined your ranks of sons and daughters
The army of the slaves
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
Freedom now remains
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
I want out
Let me out
I've seen the light
Let me out
I want out
Let me out
The muzzle burning oh so bright
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape
Freedom now remains
One headshot away
Burn you down to make our great escape

Pretty sure this song is about people who have turned away from the Christian Faith for the sake of living the lives they want. "You filled my cup with holy water. I swallowed everything. I joined your ranks of sons and daughters. The army of the slaves" It makes even more sense when you read the following lyrics: "Freedom now remains. One headshot away. Burn you down to make our great escape." Also, the following lyrics: "Worship is worthless. Till we drain our purses. With sanity checked at the door. Reason is useless and what is it for?" are a way of saying that those people don't want to worship and obey God because they have their own feelings to live by.
