Well Moe, You did post a song, so I’ll give the song a just-deserved critique. Before I do: There are people here who assert that messages that are political and other off-topic stuff can be put into song form, and once they are, the message is exempt from scrutiny and criticism. The song can only be critiqued with regard to structure, form etc. That seems ridiculous to me. The primary reason for almost all songs (with lyrics) is the message.The lyrical and musical structures serve the purpose of imprinting the message onto the central nervous system of a listener. “Don’t bore us, get to the chorus.” Demanding that someone not critique a song’s message seems tantamount to MOTOR TREND magazine inviting essays about F-150 ownership, but forbidding any mention of the engine. *********** In your song, you feature a malevolent creature created by an omniscient, omnipresent and all powerful creator-of-all. But there was a power struggle at the top tier of the universe and the creature who was created benevolent, “fell-from-grace,” and became malevolent….with the purpose of tempting the hearts and minds of humans in order to prevent them from uniting with the creator-of-all…for eternity. The creator-of-all is omniscient and therefore knew how all events would unfold beforehand, yet allowed this outcome with this devil. The creator-of-all is all powerful, yet allows this devil to wreak havok, though the creator-of-all is capable of putting an end to it at any time. As for me, I wasn’t there to witness any of it first-hand. I can’t tell you whether all of this is true or not. Your song is a collection of images in which the final reckoning of people who yield to the devil’s temptation and turn away from the creator-of-all are severely punished in a violent end, for their non-compliance. But to my view, the same person who wrote this….wrote… For the record, Mr Lied... I don't give a fuuk about any of your souls! Never have! I'm just a student of "prophecy", you fuk'n idiot! I won't be judged for your lack of faith, Mr Lied. Sadly, these days, the only soul I care about on this site is my own... And "I am a racist" "C*unt" "Choke on Bryan’s di*k" "Well, FUK you then too Rob" And many other things. A true Christian would never write those things. They violate too many tenets of the beliefs. To my view, those writing come from a person with mental illness who has balled Christianity up into a one-off personal belief system which gives his warped outlook ultimate validation. So…is the song about an ongoing battle between the creator-of-all and a malevolent being that he created? Or is the song about an ongoing and confused storm strictly within the mind of the person who wrote it? A very earthly and tremendously narcissistic but frustrated personality, who needs to believe that his life will be validated by the ultimate destruction of the souls of those who do not heed his message. At the present time, in the progression of technology…death awaits us all. So I guess we will see, or not. On balance, I think that the song’s content is rehashed from many other sources and the song’s structure and music are nothing special. xoxo
