The Final Goodbye
Awaiting the Final Revelation
Lyrics
The claim of the priests and the holies clerics
Reflection on the assertions made by religious figures, particularly priests and holy clerics.
Is that god is a master to serve without question or real consequence,
Critique of the belief that God is an unquestionable master, highlighting a lack of real consequences.
So they forge their weapons, and they hammer their plowshares into swords,
Metaphorical depiction of religious hypocrisy, converting peaceful tools into instruments of war.
Waiting for the final goodbye.
Expression of anticipation or preparation for a significant, possibly final, event or parting.
The claim of the wicked, hiding high in concealment,
Shift to the perspective of the wicked, suggesting a different interpretation of God's role.
Is that god is a master to serve with munitions in crusades and warfare,
Criticism of the wicked's belief in serving God through warfare and military actions.
So they forge their weapons, and they hammer their plowshares into swords,
Reiteration of the transformation of peaceful tools into weapons by the wicked.
Waiting for the final goodbye.
Reiteration of the anticipation or readiness for a significant, possibly final, event or farewell.
The claim of the realist is that fortune
Introduction of the realist perspective, focusing on the concept of fortune and its bitter end.
Is told with a bitter end in mind in an ending so carefully structured and planned,
Belief in a carefully planned and structured ending, emphasizing a pessimistic view of fortune.
So they forge their weapons, and they hammer their plowshares into swords,
Reiteration of the theme of converting peaceful tools into weapons, now from the realist's perspective.
Waiting for the final goodbye.
Reiteration of the anticipation or preparation for a significant, possibly final, event or parting.
