Lamb of God are NOT are religion bashing band. Infact, Randy Blythe is a Christian. A lot of their songs from As the Palaces Burn are about the government (Vigil, As the Palaces Burn...). And pretty much the entire Ashes of the Wake is about political issus (namely the Iraq war). Of course, it is music and it is up to you to intupret the music in anyway you feel. But don't go saying "I love the way Lamb of God bash Christianity". Because that isn't what they do. They use religious metaphores for things which do often come across as religion bashing, but is about something else entirely. Which, I feel, makes Randy a far better lyricist than if he actually were bashing religion. Because it makes you think about what the song actually means and come up with your own spin on the lyrics. what this song may be about... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/24/08 to me it's poetry. he's speaking in the 1st person, but representing all of society as we have rejected our creator and claim that it's for love. all of us being total hypocrits. we say we love and destroy as our action spiralling into chaos when love is quite the opposite. we call evil good and good evil and we live evil lives believing we're good. merlin great song great lyrics | Reviewer: trullie | 11/26/08 its a song about fighting and it's a song about remembering a time when people had to fight for their freedom...because our generation forgets i think...see the world was handed to us, we never had to fight for anything and i interpret this song as a wake up call, a reminder, that there is indeed a battle to be fought...what battle, thats for you to decide i guess. but i mean, its just a song...it dont change nothing...and metal is an INDUSTRY just like any other INDUSTRY. so dont buy all the crap lamb of god feeds you. Yes, lamb of god is perhaps my favorite band, but if the government and christianity sells us bullshit, why not take it one step further and say lamb of god sells us bullshit? everything in this world bullshit anyway, i dont know thats just how i see it What i think the song is about | Reviewer: Kaberg92 | 8/27/08 I think the song is about renewing, seeing the old die (his father) and how he wishes he's country, that he loves to disintegrate, just so it can be rebuilt, and my interpretation of smite the shappared and the sheep's will scatter is that Randy thinks its a necessary to overthrow the leader to be able to begin anew. so in short i think the song is about Getting a New start , Thats my interpretation anyway What I think the song is about... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/5/08 I think its about separating church and state, (separate religion and gov't). How, "Smite the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered", revolutions ruin society but at the same time it leaves society the chance to start over. (if george bush fell, the american people will scatter). this song can also be about alcoholism. Saying What Needs To Be Said | Reviewer: TriviumOfBodom | 7/14/08 i think this song is great considering he is just saying what he believes needs to be said same with Critical Acclaim by A7X where they support the soldiers its awesome and i think Vigil is genius Wat I Think Of Vigil | Reviewer: Austin | 2/26/08 I think that most of you are right, this song talks about not believing in christianity and the government. I talks about overtaking god"until the day our fires over take you" it's not because he is against god, it's that hes sick of the bull shit that they feed you, and how much they scru you over. The botom line is....Lamb Of God kicks ass and they ae the shit.....rock on metal lovers\m/ Religion is a cult | Reviewer: SycoPathik666 | 2/15/08 i love how this band mocks christinity its about fucking time people seen religion just for what it is. fuck religion end of statment.... P.S. if you dont like Lamb of God you should just eat a bullet hmm | Reviewer: Bryan Del | 1/30/08 When i read these lyrics i don't picture its written by someone who rejects god. example : "Until the date our fires overtake you. Our father we forsake you." to me thats someone who refuses to follow religion but upon their death they prey for their life and ask for forgiveness. And i realize this can be countered with the line "Smite the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered." But this song is very politically charged and I believe that that line is a political line. But the more I read this the more ways i could interpret this song. Bottom line is thats its fucking awesome shit and the song is only better when they do it live! Lamb of God is the shit and you can shove a glass shard up your poop shoot if u think otherwise. Thats metal bitches!! \m/ metal with awareness | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/28/08 Incredible to see a metal band with the balls (and cognitive faculties) to challenge the atrocities of this idiotic government and its crazy-christian right fascist followers.
