Rebellion
Sacred Warrior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you're goin' downtown see the city lights
You're lookin' for a high that you just can't find
Well you're falling from God and it's such a shame
You know satan is the one that you gotta blame

(Coro:)
But there's an answer in your heart
You know the truth now play your part
Yes there's an answer and it's waiting for you
Turn back to Jesus you know what to do
Give it up!
Your mind of rage, rebellion
Your mind of rage, rebellion

But there's an answer in your heart
You know the truth now play your part
Yes there's an answer and it's waiting for you
Turn back to Jesus you know what to do
Give it up!
Your mind of rage, rebellion
Your mind of rage, rebellion

Well you're goin' downtown see the city lights
You're lookin' for a high that you just can't find
Well you're falling from God and it's such a shame
You know satan is the one that you gotta blame

But there's an answer in your heart
You know the truth now play your part
Yes there's an answer and it's waiting for you
Turn back to Jesus you know what to do
Give it up!




Your mind of rage, rebellion
Your mind of rage, rebellion

Overall Meaning

The song "Rebellion" by Sacred Warrior tells the story of someone who has lost their way and is searching for something to fill a void. The opening lines speak of going downtown to see the city lights, but the search for a high that cannot be found reveals a deeper meaning. This person is falling away from God, and the blame is placed on Satan. The lyrics suggest that the individual is engaging in a rebellion against God and his teachings. The chorus comes through with the message that there is an answer in their heart, and that they know the truth and should play a part in turning back to Jesus. The final lines repeat the opening, reminding the listener of the loss of faith and the search for something more.


Overall, "Rebellion" is a plea to those who have lost their way to consider turning back to Jesus. It uses strong imagery to convey the effects of falling away from God and encourages its listeners to take action and renounce rebellion in favor of a more righteous path.
