Carnivore - God is Dead

a track taken from Carnivores debut album (1985)

God looked down from heaven shook his head and wept
his flock had gone astray wolves mingling with sheep
you tried to save man once by sending down a son
but the bastards nailed him up
and laughed at what they'd done

You gang raped mother nature I love a virgins cry
blood poured from the earth she suffered and she died
rusty scissors still in hand you castrated father time
feed his balls to the hounds that drink his cum like wine

God Is Dead

You've taken all my precious gifts
I gave unto you life from by breath
you a product of my love
your gratitude shown in my death

The devil has taken your spirit
keeps it chained up in the night
tells you that evil is good
but you will never see the light

Eat his body drink his blood
then we'll sing our song of love

Now you come crawling on your hands and knees
you beg for forgiveness suck me till I bleed
and for your transgressions heretical blasphemy
the punishment is damnation you'll burn interminably

Look what you've done to nature
and what you 've done to timethere's no more room in hell
your sinners you steal what is mine

Now the dead walk the earth
there's nowhere to hide
the devil and his disciples
rejoice my suicide

Bustin' heads breaking legs
smashin' faces spreading hate
screaming out this can't be real
broken bottles chains and
knifes bats and pipes to end your life
crush you beneath my wheels

And of course no regret give me freedom or give me death
you're flirting with disaster
riding wild running free no one's gonna govern me

All Gods are lame. They all kill, they all love, etc....

This is no place for ANY religion. Just listen to the fucking song.

@ultimatemetalfreak I agree religion is based on blind faith. I'm atheist myself. All I'm saying is Peter exposed the blasphemy of other self-proclaimed Christians. People who only claim to be Christian as a social status statement. When they are ignorant of what's right and wrong subject to their very own self proclaimed religion. The song's ingenious. It's not an attack on Christianity, but rather fake Christians. It'd be like an attack on 80s hair bands claiming to be metal. Not metal itself.

@Shaun589 That is because to me IT IS that simple. I guess if it had been you growing up in a fucked up cult, you'd see my point. I have a unique point of view on how religion and blind faith work on people. To me there is no difference between one religion or the other. It's all about manipulation and mind control. Once a child is taught to believe in the supernatural, it is very hard to develop the critical thinking required to see the natural world for what it is. A natural occurance.

@ultimatemetalfreak You are trying to turn this into an oversimplified theist vs athiest song. Peter has stated this to be a pro-God song in interviews. So by playing it as an anti-religion song just solidifies your ignorance. This song is criticism of fake Christians. Just because 90% of Christians are fake, and Peter exposed it, doesn't make him a hypocrite. I do not understand why you would not sing this song if you were a true Christian. You would just go along with mainstream dogma?
