Liturgy of Deceivers
Hour of Penance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trapped in world that's like a cage
Where false moralities delete all possibilities of freedom
Live with a rational free mind is the worst sin we can commit
Disintegration of our free will
Free from the church to contrast the liars
Kill everyone is trying to infect your thoughts with the lie
Kill every time they try to reshape your morality
With deceit and lie
Seeds of deception, decay
Altered perception, disguise
They will manipulate your mind
They will manipulate your mind
Their primary aim is deceive
To violently caught you in a cage
Absorb the false hopes
Without a prayer left to say
Your sacrificed life
A useless offer
Everyone who believes men can do anything
To control their own free will and morality
Be those slaves left to rot
Everyone who desires to fight against them
Who rule in the name of their religious supremacy
The time to rise has come
Prayers, denied by God, to save my soul
Lies, truths denied, truths disavowed
Trapped in world that's like a cage where false moralities delete
All possibilities of freedom
Live with a rational free mind is the worst sin we can commit
Disintegration of our free will
Free from the church to contrast the liars
Kill everyone is trying to infect your thoughts with the lie
Or to deceive your mind
Kill every time they try to reshape your morality
With deceit and lie
Seeds of deception, decay
Altered perception, disguise
They will manipulate your mind
They will manipulate your mind
Their primary aim is deceive
To violently caught you in a cage
Absorb the false hopes
Without a prayer left to say
Your sacrificed life
A useless offer
The lyrics of Hour of Penance's song "Liturgy of Deceivers" delve into the idea that we are trapped in a cage of false moralities that delete all possibilities of freedom. The song argues that living with a rational, free mind is considered the worst sin that we can commit. The lyrics suggest that the church and its followers attempt to infect our thoughts with lies and deceit to reshape our moral framework.
The song vividly communicates how the seeds of deception decay and alter our perception, making it easy for those in power to manipulate our minds in violent ways. Moreover, the lyrics describe the church as hypocritical, with a primary aim to deceive and violently trap people in a cage of false hopes. The song argues that our lives are useless offers, made as sacrifices at the altar of a false god. The only way to fight against this manipulative power is to rise against it and stop living as slaves to religious supremacy.
In conclusion, "Liturgy of Deceivers" sends a strong message to all those who are willing to listen. The song argues that true freedom lies in having a rational free mind, and we must fight against the church and their corrupt moralities to achieve it.

Funkimatter
il numero in se lo so anchio che è alto, ne conosco di gruppi brutal e grindcore italiani che spaccano il culo. ma ripeto paragonato ad altre nazioni sono molti di meno. invece per esempio se si guarda la scena hardcore (molto più sviluppata e radicata) in italia facciamo invidia a quegli sboroni degli americani.
