Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These are false gods
Not worty of attention
Wealth and possession
The golden calf, smash your idols
Destroy distraction
Exchanging truth, for a lie
Masters of the world and bringers of death
Blinding the people of the truth
Wealth and possession.
The golden calf.
Smash your idols, destroy distraction
Rid yourself of the things that blind you
This is the war within us
Walth and possession, the golden calf
Smash your idols, destroy distraction
Destroy
Destroy
Kill your idols
Kill your idols
Kill your idols
Destroy

I always thought that In The Midst Of Lions had one of the coolest logos in deathcore. Also they are ridiculously heavy and they need to come back in 2017 to help save the scene
