Malleus Maleficarum
Trial by Fire: Unmasking a World Ensnared in Deceit
Lyrics
Who are they and why are they so
Questioning the identity and motives of a group (they) and their negative disposition
Cynical and mired in spite
Describing the group as cynical and deeply immersed in resentment
Baptised in vitriol and
Suggesting that the group is immersed in corrosive criticism and hostility
Raised you to believe their lies
Implying that the group influenced the listener to believe false information
Where has all your goodness gone to
Questioning the disappearance of the listener's goodness and pondering if it was a futile effort
Was it all just a waste of time
Reflecting on whether the listener's past actions for good were worthwhile
Ruled by this blessed dogma
Referring to the control of a certain belief system (dogma) and its authorities
The high priests and all their spies
Mentioning the influence of high priests and their covert agents
Hearing only their own lies
Highlighting the tendency of the group to hear and propagate their own falsehoods
One point of view
Emphasizing a narrow perspective dominated by the group's point of view
Set me on fire
Expressing a desire to break free or rebel against the negative influence
Set me on fire
-Everybody is on trial
Asserting that everyone is being judged or scrutinized
How guilty are you
Asking the listener to evaluate their own guilt in the judgmental environment
I'm on fire
Reiterating a feeling of being consumed or overwhelmed by a fiery intensity
I'm on fire
-Welcome to a world gone crazy
Describing the current state of the world as chaotic and irrational
A wrong word could end your life
Warning about the potential danger of expressing oneself in this tumultuous world
Kill a million be a hero
Commenting on a distorted moral perspective where harming many can be seen as heroic
Speak your mind and you will die
Advising caution in expressing personal opinions to avoid dire consequences
Where has all you reason got to
Questioning the disappearance of reason and describing an altered, distorted reality
An altered reality
Highlighting a state of being held captive by one's own thoughts
Held hostage by your own mind
Referring to the influence of a culture that idolizes celebrities
And the cult of celebrity
Suggesting the negative impact of blindly following the cult of celebrity
Hearing only their own lies
Repeating the theme of selectively hearing and spreading false narratives
One point of view
Reiterating the dominance of a singular, narrow perspective
Set me on fire
Expressing a desire to be ignited or impassioned against the negative influences
Set me on fire
-Everybody is on trial
Stating that everyone is subject to judgment or trial
How guilty are you
Prompting introspection on one's own level of guilt in the prevailing judgmental atmosphere
I'm on fire
Continuing the metaphor of being on fire, possibly symbolizing a rebellious or passionate state
I'm on fire
-I'm on fire
-I'm on fire
Reiterating a state of intense passion or rebellion
