Fate... Fate is so unkind... Now I should have known...
Blind leading the blind... Reaping what I’ve sown...
If it all amounts to nothing... Why, why am I standing in this line..?
Hell is still overburdened, I must stand and wait in line
I may never know for certain when will be my time
How was I considered evil? Pleasures taken in this life?
Someone granted me reprieval, decades spent in strife
Led to nothing, repeated in my mind
Led to nothing, if only I was born another time
Hell is still overburdened, I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened, how have I been so determined malign?
It’s the closing of the curtain, in the play that was my life
Countless chapters left unopened, tragedies inside
I was fighting for a reason, holy blessed homicide
Seems I have committed treason, all I’ve sacrificed
Led to nothing, repeated in my mind
Led to nothing, if only I was born another time
Hell is still overburdened, I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened, how have I been so determined malign?
Hell is still overburdened, I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened, how have I been so determined malign?
Fate is so unkind, now I should have known
Blind leading the blind, reaping what I’ve sown
If it all amounts to nothing, why then am I standing in this line?
Hell is still overburdened, I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened, how have I been so determined malign?
Hell is still overburdened, I must stand and wait in line
Hell is still overburdened, how have I been so determined malign?
this song is about how screwed up the world is. people are literally waiting in line to get to HELL cause its better than THIS! people are getting dumber by the second and all anyone cares about is themselves. AMEN!

i hate it when people flip out and act self righteous about song meanings. if they didnt want it to be ambiguous they would just tell you what it means. why not let people think it means whatever affects them the most? look how many people love this song for different reasons. dont ruin it for them by being a technical asshole
religion? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/26/09
This obviously has nothing to do with religion, so he mentions hell that makes it religious? It's about being disillusioned with life, feeling like you're being led to nothing despite trying so hard to get something out of life.
not about changing your thoughts on religion | Reviewer: sly | 5/18/09
Ok first off this song is not about making people have second thoughts about there religion and saying thats religion is stupid, thats not the point that david was trying to make. He was saying that its the people of the corrupt and the stipid choices that people make that is wrong with our world, not the religion. He was also saying that if we would just sit down and take some time for ourselfs an atop worrying about others peoples problems an stop trying to ruin people, an jus take faith seriously then there would be world peace once and for all. like he says in the first vurse "someone granted me repreival, decades spent in strife" he was saying that he finally got a brake frm the corrupt of the world because he finally found faith......i hate when people have misconseptions on songs and say they mean something they dnt
disturved is THE ALL TIME BEST band ever.......cuz they sing about the truth......yes it is in a harsh ass way but they know how to express it
Well.. | Reviewer: Kam1 | 4/30/09
Well what if i would want to go hell? :D would that make sense? WOuld any of in this life make sense? like why we are humans and not ponies? I mean. I believe in evrything cause for me i keep evrything normal cause evrything is different, but the question is. Do u want to serve it? Doesent matter what u believe, it matters what u do. I mean i think god created the rules just so it would be easier for some of us not to do bad because we just think of our selfs. I believe in all kinds of stuff but doesent server them cause the thing i want to serve is my nothingness, my freedom and serve others by not stealing their freedom(s) for my own use. Only that rule would be over all rules in the bible in my opinion. i mean i think it that way... Like who can prove that the whole life is not just illusion cause we cannot see by the eyes of somone other. But does it matter that we need to know evrything? I just want to be different and give space for other people to live the way they want to so i can be satisfied by feelings of others, because i dont have starightly my own feelings. thats just something i believe, and would it even matter to u if i believe something like that no one can proove or something XD I read my text and it doesent make any sense but it doesent much matter :D
Wow! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/9/09
You think Disturbed is on to something with this song? Many bad things have been done in the name of religion. The problem isn't religion though, its people. The moment people believe do wrong supposedly in God's name, they become hypocrites. If people would spend the time to actually read scripture and keep it in context, so many problems would be resolved. We are not mindless puppets, God gives us freewill to make our own choices... There are people that take religon too far and claim their actions are the will of God. If you were to actually sit down and actually read the Bible along with the teachings of Jesus, you can straighten it out. Im not here to preach to you or condemn you to hell but just wanted to point out that the problems not in religion, the problems in people. Its called sin, I suggest you pick up a Bible and check it out for yourself.
love this song | Reviewer: none | 3/16/09
ok. the first time i heard this song i almost broke down. this song is everything ive ever asked and wondered. and im so happy that disturbed is singign it. if anyone else, it wouldnt be right. it is such a powerful song and its meaning is so deep that even the most religious person couldnt stop themselves from contemplating about the lyrics. this song can explain in all why i was drawn to disturbed and why they are my favorite band.
Truly I can say that my dad saved me from the corruption of religion by saying that brainwashing me into thinking that there was some great deity would inevitably end in arrogance and ignorance. Hell I'm still an atheist but to prove it it's time to read The Bible.
Love this song. It's a nice break from the usual Disturbed material.
As expected, incredibly high quality song. Good to go to sleep to. Also a nice break from the absolute nonfunctional family. Bad roll of the dice in my case but what the hell right? We all get dealt our hands. Just gotta deal with 'em.

Disturbed is my only portal out of the world. I absolutely guarantee you that it's the only thing preventing an inevitable killing spree. If you know me, I'm pretty much immune to all sadness and suffering. This, however, was the only metal song that ever made me cry. This song has the most meaning I've seen since conception.
By the way, I wasted 13/14th's of my life with religion. Like Anonymous said on 11/12/08, every religious freak should just shut the hell up for one and listen to this song.
Just a thought... | Reviewer: Grendel Hall | 2/1/09
Fighting for a false sense of truth under the pretense of "holy blessed homicide" dictating by misdirected faith will having you reaping what you sow. Fate will always look unkind when your blind to the truth and want to be driven by the pleasures or lack there of the flesh. There is always an opportunity in life to make a choice and correct the misgivings within yourself. Let faith be the guiding light and truth everlasting. God Bless.
