Extraction from Mortality
Believer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By gaining the world but losing his soul?
Love not the world
Or the wrath of the Father you will behold
Do not conform to evil
The desires conceived in ignorance
Choosing to befriend the world
Death, sin
Extraction from mortality
Wordly rejection
Deliverance from agony
Men would love you as their own
If you belonged to this earthly realm
Mankind hates the ones
Who do not conform but rebel
Everyone born of God
Will not face eternal decay
Death they will overcome
The ways of man will pass away
Be transformed by renewing
The intentions and thoughts of your mind
Your life must be hidden in Christ
Leaving the corrupted flesh behind
The lyrics to "Extraction from Mortality" by Believer are about the dangers of clinging to material desires at the expense of one's spiritual well-being. The opening line poses a question about the futility of gaining the world while losing one's soul. This is followed by a warning against loving the world and its temptations, which will lead to God's wrath as a consequence. The next few lines urge listeners to avoid being influenced by evil and ignorance, and to resist conforming to the ways of the world, which will result in being rejected by it.
The chorus speaks of a type of deliverance from mortality, through overcoming death and rejection by the world. The song then contrasts the love of the world with the love of God, and the consequences of choosing one over the other. The final lines encourage listeners to transform their thoughts and intentions, and to leave behind the corrupted flesh, becoming one with Christ.
Overall, the song is a call to reject materialism and embrace a more spiritual way of life, one that is in tune with God's will rather than the transient desires of the world.

SOD LYRICS 20:35
Running scared, fighting for your life.
Swords are drawn, midst the battle strife.
You feel your life slip away.
Limbs grow numb, your flesh starts to burn.
Wounds grow deep, slowly you discern.
Your life blood will drain away.
The sands of time, drain from the hourglass.
Your life thread, fraying in your grasp.
The gates of death draweth nigh.
Morning dawns, the sun begins to rise.
Blood and sweat, cloud your weary eyes.
Straining to view your cruel foe.
Gripping fear, no one can be seen.
Fighting air, yet your wounds bleed real.
You fight the Shadow of Death.
Distant form, drawing into sight, a man draws near.
With no armor for the fight,
Death thrusts the sword in His side.
Hope has gone, surely you must die.
Suddenly, through the blackened sky.
He rises and conqueres death.
We must die, our sins will bring us death.
At the end of Time.
Jesus Christ, Death no longer reigns.
Human sacrifice.
Terminated
This album is one the best thrash albums of all time.
Love the aggression and mixing!
