Crossfire
Crossfire of Beliefs: Unveiling the Hypocrisy in Self-Righteous Faith
Lyrics
Self righteous faith diseased
Expressing criticism of a self-righteous and morally superior faith
Words laid to rest on pages at your feet
Words and beliefs discarded, ignored, or rejected
Judging everyone and keeping a distance
Casting judgment on others and maintaining a distance
Holier than thou, the bane of your existence
Being excessively self-righteous, a negative influence on existence
You say you’re right and we’re just sin
Claiming moral superiority and labeling others as sinners
Misguided hate that flows within
Hatred that is misguided and internalized
You’ve crossed the line, we’re pushing back
Reacting against the perceived overstepping of boundaries
Your free will is under attack
Suggesting a threat to personal freedom and autonomy
Alter who you are, strong to your beliefs
Encouraging resistance to altering one's identity and beliefs
Keep us from Heaven and your hierarchy
Accusing others of hindering access to spiritual fulfillment and hierarchy
We’re the lost souls that wander the Earth
Identifying as lost souls wandering without purpose
You’re the "saints" seeking rebirth
Highlighting the irony of self-proclaimed saints seeking rebirth
Don’t pray for me, save someone else
Rejecting prayers and expressing a readiness to face consequences in Hell
Don’t pray for me, see you in Hell
-Don’t pray for me, save someone else
-Don’t pray for me, see you in Hell
-Keep pushing your beliefs and say I’m the enemy
Accusing the protagonist of being an enemy for differing beliefs
I’ll draw lines in the sand to distance you from me
Establishing clear boundaries to distance from judgmental attitudes
If everything I do, is taking me to Hell
Questioning whether every action leads to damnation
You’re in the crossfire, and heading there as well
Warning that judgment places oneself in the crossfire of condemnation
Believe in prayer or believe in yourself
Presenting a choice between faith and self-reliance
Take control or blame someone else
Advocating for personal responsibility or shifting blame
Stand your ground keep your head held high
Encouraging resilience and pride in one's beliefs
Until we fall or until we die
Acknowledging the uncertainty of life's outcome
Hear the tale of the hypocrisy you created
Criticizing the hypocrisy created by the judgmental attitude
You can stay most holy, we’ll remain most hated
-Keep pushing your beliefs and say I’m the enemy
Reiteration of being labeled as an enemy for differing beliefs
I’ll draw lines in the sand to distance you from me
Emphasizing the need to distance from judgmental individuals
If everything I do, is taking me to Hell
Reflecting on actions potentially leading to Hell
You’re in the crossfire, and heading there as well
Reinforcing the idea of being caught in the crossfire of judgment
Kneel before your masters, and seal your fate
Urging submission to authority figures and sealing one's fate
Don’t preach to me, cause you’re no fucking saint
Rejecting preaching from someone who is not morally superior
Caught in a crossfire of words and faith
Describing a situation where words and faith conflict
If forgiveness is the answer, why default to hate
Questioning the reliance on hate when forgiveness is an option
You cast judgement, day after day
Accusing others of constant judgment and condemnation
If sin is my ending, I’ll meet you at Hell’s gates
Accepting the possibility of sin leading to a meeting at Hell's gates
Keep pushing your beliefs and say I’m the enemy
Reiteration of being labeled as an enemy for differing beliefs
I’ll draw lines in the sand to distance you from me
Reemphasizing the need to distance from judgmental individuals
If everything I do, is taking me to Hell
Reflecting on actions potentially leading to Hell
You’re in the crossfire, and heading there as well
Reinforcing the idea of being caught in the crossfire of judgment
