The Weight of His Blessing
Liberation Unveiled: Defying Divine Chains
Lyrics
What do they know
Questioning others' knowledge or understanding.
What have they seen
Questioning others' experiences or insights.
They say life is sacred
Noting the sacred nature of life, as per others' beliefs.
Then spend it on their knees
Criticizing those who spend their lives in submission.
If that's just the cost of belief then
Rejecting the perceived cost of belief and submission.
I'm not willing to pay
Unwillingness to pay the price of blind faith.
If this is the path to salvation
Questioning the prescribed path to salvation.
I'll gladly lose my way
Choosing to lose one's way rather than conform.
And now I feel so free
Feeling liberated from the constraints of belief.
The weight of his blessing falling off of me
Experiencing the relief from the burden of divine favor.
Suffer no more, I refuse to bow
Declaring a refusal to endure suffering or submit.
To a god that wants to hold me down
Rejecting a god that suppresses and restrains.
This faith is a cage
Characterizing faith as confining and limiting.
This doubt is a gift
Seeing doubt as a liberating and insightful force.
Telling me whatever happiness i've had
Disassociating happiness from religious influence.
Didn't come from this
Asserting that joy doesn't originate from faith.
What do they know
Repeating the initial skepticism towards others.
What have they seen
Reiterating doubt about others' experiences or insights.
Safe in the light
Feeling secure where there is no understanding.
Where they don't understand tonight
Highlighting the lack of comprehension in the light.
God prays to me
Turning the concept of God praying into a reversal.
And I will not forgive what he's done
Refusing forgiveness for perceived wrongs by God.
And he's going to learn
Asserting a determination to quench destructive influences.
To stop the fire in the blood
Accepting that some things must be sacrificed for change.
Some things will have to burn
Recognizing the necessity of letting go for progress.
Never to return
Emphasizing a commitment to irreversible transformation.
They think they're looking down
Perceiving a condescending attitude from others.
But I wear their judgment like a crown
Wearing judgment as a symbol of individuality.
And now I feel so free
Expressing the newfound sense of freedom.
The weight of his blessing falling off of me
Reiterating the relief from the weight of divine favor.
Suffer no more, I refuse to bow
Affirming the rejection of submission to a controlling god.
To a god that wants to hold me down
Restating the refusal to be held down by a god.
And now I feel so free
Reaffirming the sense of freedom from divine influence.
The weight of his blessing falling off of me
Echoing the liberation from the burden of divine blessing.
I've said the prayers under the sign of the cross but
Having performed religious rituals but finding no connection.
If this is home
Expressing a preference for being lost over a religious home.
I'd rather be lost
Choosing uncertainty over the confines of a religious space.
