One Standard One Ethic
Arkangel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the mist of inferno,
I seek Salvation,
Filth cannot taint my allegiance for my heart.
Holds the truth.

My heart and my mind worship discipline
and filter right from wrong. Purification.
Sworn to justice to cast iniquities

into the shadows of oblivion.
Untouched by the dirt of lust.

One standard, one ethic.
Redemption for all innocent life.

One standard, one ethic.
Reverence for the sentient.
