Antagonized
Heaven Shall Burn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We don't comply to normal standards.
Non conform and freedom-loving outcasts.
We've turned away! we won't betray!
A haven for the seekers, a shelter for the renegades.
No where else there's tolerance to find.
Protecting the freedom of our thoughts, beyond compulsions.
And against their uniform constraints, we had nowhere to go.
But here we can at last express our senses.

This is the voice of those who turned away.
And never to be victimized again.
Now you can follow the calling of your heart.
A place to be, claiming your needs.

This is the fight of a real believer.
A true defender of essential liberties.
Against their cultural defaults.
And versus clerical blockheadedness.
Harassed and controlled.
Spied out and monitored without a gap.
Betrayers commanded unquestioning obedience.
But a stubborn mind bore up against the tide.

But a stubborn mind bore up against the tide.

We've turned away! we won't betray!
A haven for the seekers, a shelter for the renegades.
No where else there's tolerance to find.

This is the voice of those who turned away.
And never to be victimized again.
Now you can follow the calling of your heart.
A place to be, claiming your needs.

We've turned away!
We've turned away!




We've turned away!
We've turned away!
