Save Us
Redemption's Call: Echoes of Faith and Contradiction
Lyrics
Save us
Request for salvation
Lead us
Request for guidance
Guide us
Request for direction
Free us
Request for liberation
A miracle took place
Refers to a significant event
So it was written
Indicates the event was prophesied
Two centuries ago
The timeframe of the prophecy
In Bethlehem it's said
Refers to the location of the event
A child was born
Birth of a child
Raised from god ́s lap
Child raised by a divine being
He gave us a savior
The gift of a savior
His own flesh and blood
Gift in the form of oneself
To save this mode of life
Purpose of salvation for a way of life
He gave a sacrifice
A symbolic act of sacrifice
To remind us
Reminder of divine compassion
Of his compassion
Act as a reminder of divine mercy
He gave us words
Importance of spoken teachings
We should repeat
Encouragement to recite teachings
To be near to him
To achieve closeness to a divine figure
He gave us sins
Teaching about acknowledging wrongdoings
We should exercise
Encouragement to confess and repent
For self punishment
Emphasizing self-punishment for sins
Save us
Repetition of the plea for salvation
Lead us
Seeking guidance to lead
Guide us
Asking for spiritual guidance
Free us
Requesting liberation
Blind and numb
Metaphorical blindness and numbness
Like a child fed by the breast
Metaphorically fed by corrupt influences
Of rotting words and promises
Urges to escape self-destruction
Flee from self-determination
Desire to seek divine refuge
Run into my holy arms
Invitation to seek solace in the divine
Save us from heresy
Request for protection from heresy
Lead us into eternity
Desire for guidance towards eternal life
Guide us under your holy wings
Asking for guidance and protection
Free us from our earthly sins
Plea for liberation from earthly wrongdoings
A parable of contradiction
Depiction of conflicting narratives
A reading of apathy
Portrayal of indifference
An embrace of bleakness
Acceptance of a bleak existence
A gesture of acceptance
An accepting gesture towards fate
And if denied to follow
Warning against deviation from belief
You'll be serving the faithless
Consequences of betraying faith
A treason to your own kind
Labeling betrayal as treachery
We shall take what he has given
Assertion of claiming what is offered
