Despicable Heroes
Unmasking Deceit: Arch Enemy's Critique of False Heroes
Lyrics
I spit in your face, preachers and leaders
I express contempt towards preachers and leaders.
Spewing false dogma to their believers
They spread false teachings to those who believe in them.
A nation of wolves haunting the sheep
Referring to a nation as aggressive individuals ("wolves") preying on the unsuspecting ("sheep").
Their fangs in your flesh
They harm you metaphorically, representing the negative impact of their influence.
So painful and deep
The harm caused is profound and painful.
Despise your heroes
Expressing strong dislike for admired figures.
Living a lie
Accusing these heroes of living a false life.
Despicable heroes
Labeling these heroes as contemptible.
Fooling the blind
Deceiving those who are unable to see the truth.
(Open your mind)
Suggesting the importance of expanding one's perspective.
Puppets on strings, face on the ground
Depicting influential figures as mere puppets controlled by others.
Nothing more than a shallow farce
Describing their existence as a shallow and insincere act.
Consume the young, thoughtless ones
Exploiting the younger generation who lack critical thinking.
Eat their brain, leave them blind
Metaphorically consuming their intellect, leaving them ignorant.
And then destroy
Suggesting a destructive aftermath of their actions.
I spit in the face of your preachers and leaders
Reiterating contempt towards preachers and leaders.
Spewing false dogma to their believers
Highlighting the spread of false teachings to believers.
A nation of fools, nothing but sheep
Referring to the nation as foolish individuals, likened to sheep.
Their fangs in your flesh, so painful and deep.
Reiterating the metaphorical harm caused by their influence.
