God Told Me To
Divine Decree: Unveiling the Spiritual Journey in 'God Told Me To'
Lyrics
My name is John Johanna, I am misunderstood
John Johanna feels misunderstood by others.
Lately, I have been accused of grievous murder in cold blood
He's been accused of committing a serious murder.
My mission is most righteous, my cause is true and just
He believes his mission is righteous and just.
The wicked need chastisement, you know it's either them or us
He sees the need to punish the wicked, viewing it as an 'us vs. them' situation.
God told me to
John believes he's following God's commands.
I did what I had to do
He did what he felt necessary due to God's command.
'Cuz God told me to
Reiterates that he acted because of God's instructions.
All around me, empty chatter, the wise men wring their hands
He sees people talking without taking action.
Meanwhile in broad daylight Satan gathers his unholy bands
He believes evil is gathering strength openly.
The mighty strength of angels carries me on my seeking flight
He feels supported and guided by angels in his mission.
My anger is a hammer, you know not its power or the hour it strikes
His anger is powerful and unpredictable, likened to a hammer.
God told me to
Reiteration that his actions are driven by God's command.
I answer not to them or you
He doesn't feel the need to justify his actions to anyone.
'Cuz God told me to
Stressing once again that God is the reason behind his actions.
Seven golden candles flaming bring forth the Son of Man
Describing a symbolic and divine appearance.
In his mouth a two edged sword, seven stars shining in his right hand
Symbolic imagery depicting power and authority.
The beast has eyes before him, the beast has eyes behind
Describing the vigilance and all-seeing nature of the enemy.
Those not with me are against me, they're surely gonna feel my holy fire
Those not supporting him are seen as adversaries.
God told me to
Emphasizing the divine guidance he believes he's receiving.
To thine own self be true
Advising himself to stay true to his own beliefs and convictions.
And God told me to
Reiteration that his actions are driven by God's command.
God told me to
Repetition to emphasize the source of his actions.
I'm just doing what I had to do
He justifies his actions as being necessary due to God's command.
'Cuz God told me to
Reiterating that he acted due to God's instruction.
And God told me to
Final emphasis that his actions were guided by God.
