Lyrics
Crucified millions go to mass every day
Millions of people crucified by societal norms attend mass daily.
To earn from God their moral wages
They seek moral rewards from God for their actions.
Their world is dying, for forgiveness they pray
Their world is in decline, and they pray for forgiveness.
Yet meanwhile the battle rages
Despite their prayers, a battle is ongoing.
Can't you see what you're doing?
A plea to recognize the consequences of actions.
Can't you see what I'm trying to say?
An invitation to understand the intended message.
Fantasizing virtue, whilst inequity breeds. Yeah
Critique of imagining virtue while injustice flourishes.
Mechanical slaves to the doomsday machine
People enslaved to a destructive system.
But you won't listen, you watch the planet turn
An observation that people are indifferent to global issues.
From Cathedral spires. The unnatural world
Viewing the world's problems from the perspective of cathedral spires.
Ultra bright red planet with inflammable sea
Describing a vivid but unsustainable world.
Vivid world of spectral colors
A colorful world with genetic manipulations.
Genetic reproductions of a plastic forest
Artificial reproduction of a plastic forest.
A nation of invisible figures
A society of invisible, unnoticed individuals.
Well can't you see that we're trapped here?
An assertion of being trapped in a deteriorating world.
Can't you see that you cannot escape?
An emphasis on the impossibility of escape.
This Earth is a ball that we're all chained to
The Earth is a shared burden, symbolizing collective responsibility.
Tortured humans in a scientist's zoo
Humans are tormented, resembling animals in a zoo.
But you won't listen, you watch the planet burn
Reiteration of indifference to global crises.
From Cathedral spires. The unnatural world
Observing the world's troubles from cathedral spires, implying detachment.
Atomic lords living in their Ivory Palace
Reference to powerful figures living comfortably.
The animals are locked in their cages
Animals symbolize those oppressed or marginalized.
Dictator of destruction has the world on its knees
A dictator of destruction remains unchallenged.
In comfort while his battle rages
The ruler is at ease while chaos persists.
Can't you see what they're doing?
A plea to recognize the actions of those in power.
Can't you see what I'm trying to say?
An invitation to understand the message being conveyed.
Our planet is resting on a skeletal hand
The planet is depicted as fragile, resting on a skeletal hand.
As nature dies in this grief-stricken land
Nature is dying in a sorrowful land.
