Puritanical Punishment Beating
Puritanical Reflections: Unveiling Faith's Iron Grip
Lyrics
Automatons strayed from their flock
Automatons, representing individuals devoid of independent thought, have deviated from their social group.
Cast as the embodiment of ruination
They are portrayed as the embodiment of destruction and downfall.
Resounding words from God
Profound words are claimed to come from God.
And words are all they ever are
However, words are emphasized as the only manifestation, lacking tangible impact.
Astounding deeds from faith
Actions stemming from faith are described as remarkable but fall short of being truly astounding.
That never quite astound
These deeds of faith fail to truly astonish.
Moral yardstick beats us senseless
A metaphorical moral measure inflicts severe punishment without mercy.
Observe some wills being broken
Observing the breaking of some individuals' wills.
Blocked the clear sight
Clear vision is obstructed or impeded.
Better an outcast than a forced sycophant
It's preferable to be an outcast than to be a forced sycophant (a person who acts obsequiously towards someone important).
Better a head free from religious checks
Freedom from religious constraints is preferable to a mind subject to them.
No protection - oh well, take a slow sexual death
Without protection, one is subjected to a slow and agonizing demise related to sexuality.
No salvation through safe birth control (!)
Salvation is sarcastically dismissed, suggesting birth control won't ensure salvation.
Same sex, different habits - who gives a fucking shit
Indifference is expressed towards diverse sexual orientations and habits, asserting their irrelevance.
This won't make the species unfurl
Such differences are deemed inconsequential to the survival or progression of the species.
Better an outcast than a forced sycophant
Reiteration of the preference for being an outcast over a subservient conformist.
Better a head free from religious checks
Reassertion of the value of a mind liberated from religious restrictions.
Slavishly steered by redemption
Being blindly guided by the pursuit of redemption leads to slavery, metaphorically.
Stricken by Biblical wrath
Subjected to punishment reminiscent of Biblical wrath.
When solutions lie in compassionate logic
The suggestion that solutions lie in compassionate logic, not in unfounded rumors.
Not hearsay but the will of man
Advocacy for human will and reason over hearsay or blind faith.
