Unity
The Crucified Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but running blind
idle time in a wasting scene
though you've looked
you've never found
peace amongst you, unity
for simple reasons you divide
you look without the eyes to see
Jesus Christ, the king of kings
so many speeches - empty words
show me...
of what you speak, what you dream
unity
I've got substance, you've got nothing
show me
something better than my God (you can't!)
unity
show me unity
punks and skins, fighting each other
brother cultures fighting on and on
step into the lgiht of forgiveness
and then by God stand and be strong
if you see a cancer, cut it out quickly
separate the wheat from the chalf
do not hesitate, if you'd only ask he'd show you the way
you'd see the possibility of peace to be made
fight! this is your chance
fight! you've got the gift, use it!
change! you know it's true
strength! it's there, take it!
now! it's there for you.
stop living in a dream world
of peace, love, and harmony (anarchy?...)
where everybody just decides
to finally get along
it's plain, it's simple, you've tried
everything else
God is the answer to become as one
The song "Unity" by The Crucified is a call for people to come together and stop fighting amongst themselves. It starts off with the idea that people are running fast but they are running blind. They have never found peace and unity amongst themselves. They divide for simple reasons and lack the bond to truly bind. The song suggests that the only solution to this is Jesus Christ, the king of kings.
The lyrics also talk about how people make speeches and use empty words to talk about unity. They show off what they speak and dream, but they actually have nothing substantial. The artist challenges others to show him something better than his God, which they can't. The song points out that punks and skins are fighting each other, and brother cultures are fighting on and on. The solution is to step into the light of forgiveness and then by God stand and be strong. The artist suggests that if people see a cancer, they should cut it out quickly and separate the wheat from the chaff. They should not hesitate, and if they would only ask, God would show them the way. The possibility of peace can be made if people fight for it.
In conclusion, "Unity" by The Crucified is a song that encourages people to come together and stop fighting. It suggests that the only solution to this problem is Jesus Christ.
