Apocalyptic
Inversion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw a star
Coming forth from the tomb of the mutilated
It was given a mouth to spew forth
Perverted words of gore
Seeking only to twist the psyche
Scarring the innocent, betraying the young
With hate and power driving their lies
Hideous thoughts penetrate
Impressioning the mind
Then left to burn inside
'Til acted out in crime

Spread the vile infection
You have no need to fear
Cast off all discretion
The ACLU will protect you here

Hide behind your "freedom"
And say what you will
Each uttered word shall be weighed
Each thought exposed, revealed

Hideous thoughts penetrate
Impressions on the mind
Then left to burn inside
'Til acted out in crime

Lechery
Pornography
Idiocy
When will it end?
Autonomy
Debauchery
Lunacy
You cherish your vice
Assert your rights
Mock now




Turn not
And judgment will come.
