Nation of Flies
Ritual Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nation of wolves. All dressed in white.
A nation to cherish golden sky
playing the good old game of live-and-die.
Nation of sin. Nation of bad signs.
A nation of saints claims to be the crucified.
A nation blessed with blinded eyes.
Deny.
We’re waiting for your faith to die.
Deny.
Let it die.
The lyrics of Ritual’s song Nation of Flies presents a scathing critique on society’s ethical and moral degradation. The opening line, “Nation of sheep. Nation of swine” highlights the conformity and lack of individual thought, as people blindly follow the crowd, adopting the attitudes and behaviors of others without questioning their validity or morality. Furthermore, the phrase, “Nation of wolves. All dressed in white” portrays the hypocrisy and deception of those in positions of power, who feign righteousness while engaging in corrupt practices. The line, “A nation to cherish golden sky”, suggests that people are so preoccupied with chasing material wealth and success that they fail to appreciate the beauty and value of nature and the world around them.
