I think it has to do with people, who through their actions and greed become inhuman. This can apply to a lot of politicians and religious figures. It makes me think of the movie They Live, which is the same idea, except the people actually ARE aliens.
Out of curiosity, does Andy play any rhythms on this album? I know he usually tunes to standard in King Diamond, and since he has a locking tremolo system I don't know how he would be able to tune down to D with Chuck. Maybe he only played leads and just recorded them in standard tuning over the d tuned riffs?
its about religion because religion on earth is the most common form of ignorance. religion is the manifestation of ignorance in human form. "look to the air for stories to chose" many religions that have heavinly saviours up high. "scientist of the world unite, your services are more than needed" scientist being the "educated" ,if you will, can stop the spread of the ignorace. the one thing that really trips me up is the "to become a home for this alien breed"
This song is NOT about aliens,Chuk is talking about us shitty human beings being out of control over populating ,destroying our earth,corrupting being ass holes etc all that good stuff.The alien talk is just a metaphor.
zombieXecutioner is a golorified retart. go play some more xbox and die a slow, fat cell induced, horrible death. and dont you dare tell me i spelled "retard" wrong, you fucking tart,,,
@iamthepreacher this song is clearly not about religion, and chuck even said he likes to keep religion out of his lyrics that its more of a personal thing.
@TheZombieXecutioner crystal mountain? zero tolerance? spiritual healing? misanthrope? lol, come on dude. maybe he said that, but the proofs in the pudding, buddy. there's religious undertones in alot of chuck's "personal things", and they're always open to the interpretation of the listener. but be serious here.
@iamthepreacher i'd definitely venture to say that most of the guy's lyrics are much more about life, perception, and the human experience than anything religious or political. but in some instances, those things are undeniably there. this song a bit less so than a few others, but it shares alot of sentiment with them.
@iamthepreacher I never really ever connected it with religoin...I think all his lyrics can be interpited into many different things, I kinda see it as politics or just certain people that are bad people.
@XenoChrist1 If you get told by everyone around you that the sky isn't blue as you're growing up, in your subconscious mind you begin to believe it after awhile, even if you disagree with it, then your subconscious mind actually makes your conscious mind belief that, that color isn't blue.
That's the same logic with aliens. They have been forced down people's throat since Rosewell, the government actually wants people to think it was an alien crash site, when it was a man-made craft.
@TheMattTrivium He's making you look even more stupid than you already do. Do you honestly think the only thing in the western hemisphere is South America? I mean no offense to you through this comment of course.

It's probably about evil people, people so evil they aren't even human anymore. But monsters "in human form".
Probably targeted against evil polititians, drug lords, dictators and all other manners of monsters in places of power...
