Dead World Reclamation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enraged, I remain. With hate I sustain
Sustain the belief that we shall endure
You are a cancer
Omniscient you claim to be
You cannot see that I am the cure
I don't doubt your existence, I doubt your grace
You've invested a lifetime, I've waited for eternity
You've awakened your ending, and it begins with me
You are a cancer
Omniscient you claim to be
You cannot see that I am the cure
So many freethinking brethren, with stories to tell
You've hidden your selfish ways, disguised them well
Observe and question your current decay
Look deeper within and you'll see why I say
I've been absolved of my faith
I've been absolved of my faith
Now. To the masses, I speak
Count to infinity, then you'll be saved
These thoughts of absolution die off
Your existence waived
You can die a martyr, for a hopeless cause
Remember that in the end, all you'll have is loss
There was a time, A time I prayed
I hoped for happiness, and in veneration I gave
I gave myself to this Harbinger of Pain
Then realized the Creator and Lord of Darkness were one in the same
Purge yourself of these thoughts
We'll soon share the fate of passing through these ethereal gates
Ethereal Gates
The lyrics of Godless by Dead World Reclamation are filled with anger, frustration, and a sense of betrayal. The singer is addressing someone who they once believed in and trusted, but who has since become dangerous and oppressive. The first verses refer to the singer's feelings of entrapment and enslavement at the hands of this unnamed figure. They are filled with rage but find solace in the belief that they will somehow endure despite the harm being done to them.
The chorus accuses this figure of being a cancer, claiming omniscience while ignoring the harm they inflict on others. The singer acknowledges that they once believed in the wisdom this figure offered, but they now reject it and return hatred for it. The second verse calls on others to question and reject the teachings that have led them astray. The singer urges them to look beyond what they have been taught, to see the corruption and decay that surrounds them.
The final lines are a rejection of faith and a call to action. The singer offers a message of hope, urging listeners to reject their belief in absolution and martyrdom. They acknowledge that they too once believed in a higher power, but they have since realized that this power was also one of darkness. They call on all to reject these harmful beliefs and prepare themselves for the inevitable passage through the ethereal gates.

Ensnared by your reach, Enslaved by your word
I am trapped and controlled by you and the things you say
Enraged, I remain. With hate I sustain
I am angry and fueled by hatred
Sustain the belief that we shall endure
I maintain the belief that we will survive
You are a cancer
You are a harmful and destructive force
Omniscient you claim to be
You believe that you know everything
You cannot see that I am the cure
You are unable to recognize that I can fix the problems
I don't doubt your existence, I doubt your grace
I believe you exist, but I do not believe you are benevolent
You may have granted me wisdom, but I return with hate
You may have given me knowledge, but I am responding with anger
You've invested a lifetime, I've waited for eternity
You have worked your whole life while I have been waiting forever
You've awakened your ending, and it begins with me
You are bringing about your own downfall, and I am the beginning of the end for you
So many freethinking brethren, with stories to tell
There are many people who think for themselves and have tales to share
You've hidden your selfish ways, disguised them well
You have kept your self-centeredness a secret and concealed it effectively
Observe and question your current decay
Take a close look at your current deterioration and ask yourself why
Look deeper within and you'll see why I say
Examine yourself more deeply and you'll understand what I'm saying
I've been absolved of my faith
I no longer believe in religion
Now. To the masses, I speak
I am now addressing a large group of people
Count to infinity, then you'll be saved
There is no limit to how many times you will need to count, but doing so will bring salvation
These thoughts of absolution die off
These ideas of being saved or forgiven will fade away
Your existence waived
Your life will be nullified
You can die a martyr, for a hopeless cause
You could die for a cause that will never be successful
Remember that in the end, all you'll have is loss
You will ultimately have nothing to show for your efforts
There was a time, A time I prayed
I used to pray at one point in my life
I hoped for happiness, and in veneration I gave
I wanted to feel happy and I gave myself over to a higher power
I gave myself to this Harbinger of Pain
I submitted to a force that brought only suffering
Then realized the Creator and Lord of Darkness were one in the same
I later understood that the being I worshipped was actually evil
Purge yourself of these thoughts
Get rid of these ideas from your mind
We'll soon share the fate of passing through these ethereal gates
We will soon face the same fate of entering the afterlife
Ethereal Gates
The gates of the afterlife
