God's Gonna Cut You Down
Divine Retribution Unveiled: God's Judgment in Christian Larsson's Anthem
Lyrics
You can run on for a long time
You can persist in your ways for a considerable duration
Run on for a long time
Continuing to endure or persist
Run on for a long time
Emphasizing the prolonged nature of one's actions
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Conveying that consequences from God are inevitable
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Reiteration of the impending divine consequences
Go tell that long tongue liar
Addressing a dishonest person with a lengthy tongue
Go and tell that midnight rider
Referring to a person who travels in the darkness
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Addressing various negative characters, warning them
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Declaring that God will bring judgment upon them
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Reiteration of the divine warning
Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news
Expressing excitement to share important news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
Describing personal experiences with nighttime moisture
I've been down on bended knee
Expressing a humble and penitent posture
Talkin' to the man from Galilee
Communicating a conversation with a divine figure
He spoke to me in a voice so sweet
Describing a sweet and comforting divine voice
I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet
Sensing the presence of angelic beings
He called my name and my heart stood still
Recalling a moment of divine calling and awe
When he said, "John, go do my will!"
Receiving a command to fulfill divine will
Go tell that long tongue liar
Repeating the warning to a deceitful person
Go and tell that midnight rider
Reiterating the caution to those who operate in darkness
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Addressing various negative characters again
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Stressing the impending divine judgment
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Reiteration of the warning of divine consequences
You can run on for a long time
Repeating the idea of persistent actions
Run on for a long time
Continuation of the theme of endurance
Run on for a long time
Emphasizing the prolonged nature of one's actions once more
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Reiterating the certainty of divine retribution
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Reiteration of the inevitable divine consequences
Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Warning against deceptive actions and hidden malice
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
Highlighting unethical actions against fellow humans
But as sure as God made black and white
Asserting the universal principle that hidden deeds will be exposed
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light
Stating the inevitability of bringing hidden deeds to light
You can run on for a long time
Repeating the idea of persistent actions leading to consequences
Run on for a long time
Continuing the theme of enduring negative behavior
Run on for a long time
Emphasizing the prolonged nature of negative actions
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Reiterating the certainty of divine retribution once more
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Reiteration of the unavoidable divine consequences
Go tell that long tongue liar
Addressing a deceitful person with a lengthy tongue again
Go and tell that midnight rider
Referring once more to a person who travels in the darkness
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Addressing various negative characters again
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Stressing the impending divine judgment again
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Reiteration of the warning of divine consequences again
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down
Final warning about the impending divine judgment
