Heaven Shall Burn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Heaven Shall Burn's song Biogenesis express criticism towards religious dogma and creationism. The lyrics decry that such religious beliefs are displacing reality and debasing mother nature through the promotion of intelligent design. The lyrics call for sanity to prevail and reject adulterated doctrine that is beyond reason and evidence.
The song is a defense of science and Darwin's theory of evolution. It highlights the dangers of blind belief in supreme forces and shows disdain for the idea that humans are the pinnacle of creation. The lyrics also express frustration with the prospecting of vindication for existing misery, possibly referencing the idea that suffering can be justified as part of a divine plan.
The chorus "Where blind belief and science meet, we're defending Darwin's throne" sums up the song's message perfectly. It suggests that science and faith can coexist if religious beliefs do not go against factual evidence. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency that the promotion of rational thinking and science should take precedence over dogmatic beliefs.
