Citizen Lyrics

Lyric discussion by offhand 

Cover art for Citizen lyrics by Ihsahn

There is much of Nietzsche's criticism of 'slave morality' in Ihsahn's lyrics. That I understand. However, this song simply burns with contempt for the average person.

It is also a criticism of democrary. In my opinion, the most 'frightening' thing in extreme metal is it fascist leanings. Ironically, a liberal society tolerates groups such as Emperor whereas they would simply be eliminated in a fascist state.
