Cover art for 8th Commandment lyrics by Sonata Arctica

there is no commandment that says "thou shall not lie" Different religions have different orders, on some the 8th commandment is "You shall not steal." altho this one is the 7th in others.

the 8th Commandment, however, is "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" Which is basically not to lie, but it does not say "thou shall not lie"... confusing...

All in all, what they (Sonata A) might be saying is that lying will be punished, and death, furthermore, going to hell ("Can you feel the fire burning ") is the consequence...

This is not true at all, for God will not send you to hell for lying, but it is a sing alright.

"Remember to pray, and what the Bible says and you will live thru eternity You haven't hear of this? There is something you missed - it will cost you so heavily." The commandments are on Exodus 20

"When you're done with him, you know where you have been, He will treat us all equally. Can you feel the fire burning" Could be talking about God or the devil, or both. "He" is spelled with capital H, therefore refering to God, however, they talk abotu the "fire", and of course, that is not God
