Jesus Frankenstein
Rob Zombie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All hail

Eyes of a sideshow
Teeth of a dog
Face of a marvel
Wander in the fog
Into ragged mountains
Savior of the breed
Vandal of the vultures
Begging you to feed

All hail
Jesus Frankenstein
All hail
Jesus Frankenstein
All hail
Jesus Frankenstein
All hail

Fingers of a madman
Arms of a hoax
Hands of deception
Slide under the cloaks
Behold his sickness
Hallowed be thy name
Redeemer of the witches
Is what he became

All hail
Jesus Frankenstein
All hail
Jesus Frankenstein
All hail
Jesus Frankenstein
All hail

Body of a prophet
Hands of a snake
Mind of a devil
Walk among the fakes
As you perceive him
Hallowed be thy name
Into the blackness
Into the vein

All hail
Jesus Frankenstein
All hail
Jesus Frankenstein
All hail
Jesus Frankenstein




All hail
Jesus Frankenstein

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rob Zombie's song "Jesus Frankenstein" are an interesting mix of horror and religion, creating a unique and haunting image of a savior figure. The song starts with the description of the physical characteristics of this "Jesus Frankenstein" - "Eyes of a sideshow, Teeth of a dog, Face of a marvel." The lyrics then go on to describe his deeds and abilities, such as being the "Savior of the breed" and "Redeemer of the witches." His dark and eerie powers are further emphasized with lyrics such as "Hands of deception slide under the cloaks" and "Mind of a devil walk among the fakes."


It is interesting to note that the "Jesus Frankenstein" in the song is a combination of two seemingly different entities - Jesus and Frankenstein's monster. This unique creation challenges traditional religious beliefs and the fear of the unknown. The lyrics could be interpreted as a commentary on the dual nature of society's view of religion - both holy and terrifying.
