Immaculate Deception
Unveiling the Enigma: Immaculate Deception's Profound Message
Lyrics
If you look at the face of evil
If you confront evil directly, it will confront you in return.
Evil will look right back at you
Evil will reciprocate when faced.
They raise their pitchforks to the sky
People symbolically raise pitchforks, invoking the moon as a guide.
Summoning the moon as their guide
Summoning celestial guidance, marching on a stone surface.
Their dragging feet march on the slab
Walking with slow, heavy steps on a slab.
To the beat of an absent snare drum
Moving to the beat of an absent snare drum.
A vision unseen of bodies dancing in the night
An unseen vision of bodies dancing at night.
For the beauty in unison cannot be denied
Emphasizing the undeniable beauty of unity.
You can nail them to the cross
Despite punishment (nailing to the cross or burning), sins persist.
You can burn them at the stake
Various methods of punishment are futile against enduring sins.
But their sins will never be forgiven
Sins remain unforgiven despite attempts at punishment.
Would you trade an arm and a leg for the promise of time?
Questioning the value of sacrificing for the promise of time.
Memories fade as new thought is created
Old memories fade as new thoughts emerge.
They kindly move out for the good to take their place
Making space for positive change as old thoughts move out.
The hope of redemption will never undo your wrongs
Hope for redemption cannot erase past wrongs.
Time is unforgiving to those who try to run
Time is unyielding to those attempting to escape.
For those who see the world as evil, let me tell you this
Addressing those who perceive the world as wholly evil.
Even cruel actions have a purpose to fulfill
Cruel actions serve a purpose, even if not immediately apparent.
They'll sing in places you thought no notes were even left
Music can emerge unexpectedly from unexpected places.
Cause you see in the end
Despite challenges, music prevails.
Music would not live in an evil world
The existence of music implies a world with goodness.
If you look at the face of evil
Reiteration of the idea that confronting evil results in a response.
Evil will look right back!
Evil will look back when faced.
Would you trade an arm and a leg for the promise of time?
Reiteration of questioning the worth of sacrificing for time.
Memories fade as new thought is created
Similar to line 17, emphasizing the replacement of old thoughts.
They kindly move out for the good to take their place
Creating space for positive change as old thoughts recede.
The hope of redemption will never undo your wrongs
Redemption cannot erase past wrongs.
Time is unforgiving to those who try to run
Reiteration that time is unyielding to escape attempts.
These hands are unforgiving to those who try to run
Hands are as unforgiving as time for those attempting to escape.
