God Is Dead Lyrics

Cover art for God Is Dead lyrics by Carnivore

This song is not anti-Christian as one might think. It's quite the opposite actually and is about how Peter Steele believed humanity is terrible and totally undeserving of God's love. He's speaking from the perspective of God and saying that if he were God, he would kill himself after seeing all the disrespect his creations show him. It's far from what more extreme Christians would deem appropriate but the intention behind it is actually not anti-God or even anti-religion. It's anti-humanity, which is very on brand for Peter Steele ("We Hate Everyone").
