Seven Deadly Sins
Rage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's right and who is wrong
In their eyes we've all failed in life
Old men in silk and diamonds
Decide who's right to kill
A soldier with god; not so his wife
They need a reason to survive
Seven deadly sins
Just give them fear of hell, obey the ivory tower
If they all want to stay alive
Seven deadly sins - seven deadly sins
Who are they to speak justice
About another man
They've tortured and killed through history
How can you dogmatise it
You cannot shape the truth
There's no way to order belief
It's just another game to multiply their power
They need a reason to survive
Seven deadly sins
If we all fear their hell, obey their ivory tower
They have a chance to stay alive
Seven deadly sins - seven deadly sins
The lyrics to "Seven Deadly Sins" by Rage speak of the corrupt nature of those in power who exercise control through fear and manipulation. The song condemns the self-righteous attitude of these individuals who claim to have the moral high ground while they commit heinous acts of violence and oppression. The lyrics suggest that these "old men in silk and diamonds" have no right to be the arbiters of justice and that their actions throughout history have been questionable at best.
The song also suggests that the concept of the seven deadly sins is merely a tool used by those in power to maintain their control over the masses. The fear of eternal damnation is used to keep people in line and obedient to the ivory tower of authority. The lyrics seem to suggest that the nature of these sins is subjective and open to interpretation, making it easy for those in power to manipulate the concept for their own gain.
Overall, "Seven Deadly Sins" by Rage is a powerful call to arms against the corrupt nature of those in power and a warning against blindly following authority without questioning its motives and actions.
Line by Line Meaning
They run the endless debate
They argue without end
Who's right and who is wrong
Debating right and wrong
In their eyes we've all failed in life
We are all failures in their eyes
Old men in silk and diamonds
Rich, powerful old men
Decide who's right to kill
Deciding who to kill
A soldier with god; not so his wife
Killing soldiers who fight for God
It's just another way to multiply their power
It's a means of increasing their power
They need a reason to survive
They require justification for their existence
Seven deadly sins
The seven deadly sins
Just give them fear of hell, obey the ivory tower
They use fear and obedience to maintain control
If they all want to stay alive
To keep living
Seven deadly sins - seven deadly sins
Repeating the phrase
Who are they to speak justice
They are not fit to speak about justice
About another man
About others
They've tortured and killed through history
They have a history of torture and murder
How can you dogmatise it
How can you make it a religious rule
You cannot shape the truth
You cannot control the truth
There's no way to order belief
Belief cannot be forced
If we all fear their hell, obey their ivory tower
Our fear keeps them in power
They have a chance to stay alive
They have the opportunity to continue living
