The Plague
Unveiling the Plague Within: A Profound Exploration of Human Deception
Lyrics
Just like the spread of disease, ya, ya
Comparing the spread of negative influences to a disease.
Debt and guilt or guilt and decree
Highlighting the intertwined nature of debt, guilt, and decrees.
The masters that we please
Referring to those in power or authority figures.
Yet if we seek help for infirmities
If seeking help for weaknesses, the consequences lead to worsened conditions.
We are made twice the sons of hell as before
Seeking help can result in a double punishment, emphasizing a harsh reality.
Reach out your hand
Repeated call to reach out for help, met with the consequence of disease.
Reach out your hand
-Only to be plagued by disease
-Reach out your hand. Reach out your hand
-Only to be plagued by disease
-While religion tries to blame what we cannot see
Religion is blamed for things beyond visibility, acknowledging personal responsibility.
I accept that part of the problem is me
Admitting personal contribution to the identified problem.
It was never a sacred mandate to accept conformity
Challenging the notion that conformity is a sacred obligation.
Through select revelations that we choose to believe
Belief systems are based on chosen revelations.
Another blind guide replacing divine eyes
Criticizing misguided leaders who replace divine insight.
Familiarity is the great deception
Familiarity is deceptive, masked by authority, preventing change.
Disguised by authority, sealing out subversion
-Whitewashed tombs have hidden the truth
Metaphorically, traditional beliefs hide the real truth.
For we unknowingly worship icons of ordinary life
-Reach out your hand to find forgiveness
Seeking forgiveness is met with the consequences of disease and hidden horrors.
Only to be plagued by disease
-The horrors of beliefs and customs
-Camouflaged by commonality
Beliefs and customs are obscured by their common acceptance.
Reach out your hand, reach out your hand
Repeated calls to reach out for forgiveness, highlighting the futility of the act.
Reach out your hand, reach out your hand
-I still believe that there is hope for us
Expressing belief in hope but advocating for looking beyond oppressive systems.
But I believe we must look outside
-The sanctuaries of oppression
-That have brought our world so much pain
-Yeah
An exclamation emphasizing the presence of misguided leaders.
Another blind guide replacing divine eyes (eyes)
Reiteration of the criticism of blind guides and hidden truths.
Whitewashed tombs (whitewashed tombs) have hidden the truth
-Reach out your hand to find forgiveness
Repeated calls to seek forgiveness, each time resulting in disease.
Only to be plagued by disease (plagued by disease)
-Reach out your hand to find forgiveness (reach out your hand)
-Only to be plagued by disease
-Reach out your hand, reach out your hand
A final call to reach out, possibly reflecting the cyclical nature of the issue.
