Disciples of the Watch
Distorted Memory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Disciples of the Watch
I stand before you, in the name of the one True God,
Who was cast out from heaven, but is alive, in me.

Succeed and You will know the violent raptures of my Fathers Kingdom, Fail, and you will be condemned to a numbing eternity in the blessed bosom of christ.

Chose your side for the final fight,
Dark or Light its your choice to decide.

In the end the flames will burn it all,
no escape for heaven and hell will fall.

Disciples of the Watch, there must be no reserve, and the victory can be ours.

Raise your sword and prepare for war!,
Blood will spill, will it be his or yours?

Kill the Nazarene Disciples of the Watch,
Find yourself a new god, someone you can trust!,
christ was just a wiseman, not the son of god, a man, a prophet he was not.

Disciples of the Watch

See him fall up there on the cross, the weak messiah,
with the senses for a god.

Kill the nazarene Disciple of the Watch, Find yourself a new god, someone you can trust, christ was just a wiseman, not the son of god, a prophet he was not!

Kill the nazarene, Kill the Nazarene, Kill the Nazarene.

Disciples of the Watch

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Distorted Memory's song "Disciples of the Watch" are heavily influenced by religious symbolism and the idea of choosing a side in a final battle between light and dark. The opening line identifies the singer as a representative of the "one True God," who is described as having been cast out from heaven but living inside the singer. The following lines present a stark ultimatum: succeed and experience a violent rapture in the singer's father's kingdom, or fail and be condemned to an eternity in the bosom of Christ. The language of violence and punishment underscores the urgency of the song's message and creates a sense of ominous foreboding.

The middle section of the song highlights the choice facing the listener: will they choose light or dark in the final fight, and what will be the consequences of that choice? The imagery of flames and destruction further emphasizes the idea of a dramatic, decisive battle in which everything is at stake. The closing section of the song focuses on the figure of Christ, referring to him as a "weak messiah" and denying his divinity. The repeated phrase "Kill the nazarene" serves as a call to arms for the listener, urging them to reject Christ and find a new god in whom to place their trust.

Kill the Nazarene Disciples of the Watch, Find yourself a new god, someone you can trust!, christ was just a wiseman, not the son of god, a man, a prophet he was not.
As Disciples of the Watch, we must kill the Nazarene and find a new, trustworthy god. We reject the notion that Christ was the Son of God, and instead see him as just a wise man, not a prophet.

See him fall up there on the cross, the weak messiah, with the senses for a god.
As we witness Christ's crucifixion, we see him as a weak messiah who only has the physical senses of a human, rather than divine senses of a god.

Kill the nazarene, Kill the Nazarene, Kill the Nazarene.
As Disciples of the Watch, we affirm our mission to kill the Nazarene, repeating our call to action three times for emphasis.
