Revelation Nausea
Vomitory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Descending, into the void, misguided souls
Worship, turned to lunacy, and wrath
Killing spree, in the kingdom, of Christ
If you see the faces, the fear, the anger
Turned into oppressive lies
Enter the realm of revelation nausea
To bear the cross, to tell the lies
A rape of Christ, is your demise
The purest soul, beyond the sky
So kneel for me, or you'll die
Another carcass, on a cross, decomposing
Rise above, to resurrect, I'm Christ
If you see the faces, the fear, the anger
Turned into oppressive lies
Ridden with disease, despite, and hatred
Revelation nausea
The lyrics of Vomitory's song Revelation Nausea expose the dangers of religious extremism, as well as the consequences of its manipulation of people's beliefs. The first verse indicates that the singer was deceived by the so-called "light," which blinded him and led him to descend into the void of misguided souls. The chorus's emphasis on the transformation of worship into lunacy and wrath, as well as the killing spree in the kingdom of Christ, further emphasizes the dangers of religious extremism.
The second verse alludes to the manipulation of people's fears and emotions through oppressive lies, which are ridden with disease, despise, and hatred. The singer urges the listeners to enter the realm of revelation nausea, which can be interpreted as a state of being disgusted or overwhelmed by the revelations that the extremist ideology can offer. The bridge highlights the hypocrisy of those who bear the cross, telling lies and committing the ultimate blasphemy: raping Christ. The singer challenges the listener to kneel before him or face death, emphasizing the arrogance and delusion that religious extremism can breed.
In conclusion, Vomitory's Revelation Nausea is a powerful critique of religious extremism and its manipulation of people's beliefs and fears. The lyrics warn against the dangers of blindly following extremist ideologies and the consequences of their actions.

Deceived, by the light, now I'm blind
Misled to follow the path that seemed right, but now it has blinded me

Going down a path with no clear direction and surrounded by people who are also misled
Worship, turned to lunacy, and wrath
The act of worshiping has become insane and fueled by anger
Killing spree, in the kingdom, of Christ
Taking lives under the name of Christianity
If you see the faces, the fear, the anger
If you witness the emotions of the misled, the frightened, and the angry
Turned into oppressive lies
Those emotions are transformed into lies that dominate and suppress
Ridden with disease, despise, and hatred
Overwhelmed by sickness, disgust, and hostility
Enter the realm of revelation nausea
Entering a realm that brings an unpleasant revelation of the true state of things
To bear the cross, to tell the lies
To suffer and lie for a supposed greater cause
A rape of Christ, is your demise
Using religion to justify immoral acts will lead to one's downfall
The purest soul, beyond the sky
A belief in an unblemished soul that resides in the heavens
So kneel for me, or you'll die
Submit to me or face fatal consequences
Another carcass, on a cross, decomposing
Another body hung on a cross to rot
Rise above, to resurrect, I'm Christ
To triumph over death and take on the persona of Christ
Revelation nausea
A sickening feeling from realizing the truth of oppressive and immoral actions
