Behold
Allegaeon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's human nature to believe in something
Legions died throughout history
In debate of the one true deity
Ages refuting cloned scriptures
Races of reigning terror
Eyes of the innocent sent their demise
Foretold leaders we create
We the puppets you manipulate
Man's greatest tragedy
Opposing sects feud on similar theories
Theologies crucify in the name
Disputing the absolute being
Ages refuting cloned scriptures
Races of reigning terror
Behold the anger inside
Eyes of the innocent sent their demise
Foretold leaders we create
We the puppets you manipulate
In defiance over existence
Fueling aversion, feeding envy
Infinite sermons, an endless tirade
One creator of endless carnage
What logic explains contradiction
Denies equality, promotes eradication
Behold the anger inside
Eyes of the innocent sent their demise
Foretold leaders we create
We the puppets you manipulate
So created, so destroyed
Behold, God I am (2x)
The lyrics to Allegaeon's song "Behold" express a deep criticism of the idea of religion and God. The song suggests that religion and belief in a deity have caused significant conflict and division throughout history. The first stanza discusses the human tendency to believe in something, and how this has led to legions of people dying as they debate the "one true deity." The song highlights how various sects of the same religion can feud on similar theories, and even theologies crucify in the name of God.
The second stanza discusses the limitless preaching and endless tirade of religious dogma, and how they fuel aversion and feed envy. The song seemingly criticizes the idea of one creator of endless carnage and questions the logic that promotes eradication and denies equality. The refrain of the song repeats the words "behold the anger inside," as the band seems to suggest that this anger may be due to the manipulation of religion and its leaders.
Overall, Allegaeon's "Behold" is a powerful critique of religion and its tendency to create division and conflict among people. The lyrics condemn the violence and hatred that arise from religious differences and promote the idea of questioning dogma and seeking equality.

IΒ΄ve been listening to metal for thirty years. Allegaeon obviously have the skills to compose and play something truly special and unique. By this day theyΒ΄ve had many excellent songs in which metallic geniosity is present. Even so, Allegaeon havenΒ΄t hit the ultimate vein of musical deity. But they are so close to making music that is in the scale of biblical miracles.
