Icons of Filth- Onward Christian Soilders

I dont mind slaving all my life
For the benefit of others
Who were born into privilege
Who tear the earth apart with their self-importance & greed
Because those who tear the earth apart
With their self-importance & greed
Have convinced me that its all Im fit for
Have convinced me that its my purpose
Have convinced me that its what Im here for
I dont mind killing all my life
For the benefit of others who were born into privilege
Who tear the earth apart
With the fear they instill with their wars
Because those who tear the earth apart
With the fear they instill with their wars
Have convinced me they are worth dying & killing for
Have convinced me god is worth dying & killing for
Have convinced me lies are worth dying & killing for
I dont mind being a pawn all my life
For the stupidity of others
Who were born into privilege
Who tear the earth apart
With their assurance of life after death
Because those who tear the earth apart
With their assurance of life after death
Have convinced me that its all Im fit for
Have convinced me that its my purpose
Have convinced me that its what Im here for
Have convinced me that my shitty life will be compensated
For when Ive finished feeding their mouths & lining
their pockets& fighting their wars & believing their lies
I will live peacefully ever after in some imaginary christian utopia
In heaven with god
In harmony
Onward Christian Soldiers
Another life awaits

@otakupunk007

Not really, I've had several online debates and they've been pretty satisfying. But hey, that's just me.

[otakupunk007]

@FilthyIcon There aint no reason on argueing it always gets nowhere. people think of christianity different, because it has been corrupt.

[FilthyIcon]

@otakupunk007

I think that is why people throw your bible into the same pool of religious doctrines- since evidence favors none of them, none can be justified.

[FilthyIcon]

@otakupunk007

No disrespect intended, but that's the problem, I'm afraid. Everyone is claiming their bible is the "true" bible as you said, everyone is claiming their koran is the "true" koran, everyone is claiming their book is the true way, and so on. The catholic church will say the same thing, their bible is the "true" bible, so how can you differentiate? The truth is, you cannot...

[otakupunk007]

@punkhippe yes.. OK, the bigest church in America is the Catholic church their bible being used is not the true bible, thats why there is a difference between christianity and catholic. Make some research on whats behind the american governmen first man.. pay close attention to the Vatican and their parasites that spread in america.. hence: Illuminati, CIA.. bunch more.

[FilthyIcon]

@punkhippe

very well said

[punkhippe]

@otakupunk007 i mean all respect here but it also puts dogmatic rules on how you have to act or you burn eternally i guess one view i hold in punk is that anything that can not be challenged is inheirntly evil. yeah goverment and religion can come into conflct but in american the bible is used as a tool to corral the conservative hate machine, i get spiritual punk kinda, like their is a high power and i owe alligence to it befor any social norm or goverment but i just dont get the christian punk

[FilthyIcon]

@otakupunk007

and also, I think for outsiders and non-believers like me, It's hard to make a connection like that...

[FilthyIcon]

@otakupunk007

"A christian punk is really rare"- Yeah I see that, I only know about one other.

"Relates no?"- No offense but I just don't see how it does, haha. well...me, personally, I have read the bible because I used to believe in it when i was younger. But (I *think*) the reasons why punks dislike authority is because we see them as deceivers in their own sense- with no religious basis necessary. In fact, most of the time it includes religion.

[otakupunk007]

@FilthyIcon haha a christian punk is a really really rare punk man.... hard to find. But you see im not offended what so ever with this song, a true christian knows the ways of god.

Well according to the bible, it warms us of many deceivers in governments and so on in life. If you look at the punk how much they hate USA it's like they have partialy read the bible.. haha how it is in fact that they know the secrets of the system and the corruption a warning from the bible. Relates no?

[FilthyIcon]

@otakupunk007

wow, really? I can't say I've ever talked to a christian punk...haha, and I think that's really cool how you aren't offended by this video

Oh, and hope you don't mind me asking, but how does real christianity have to do with some punk? just curious. I don't know how that works.

[otakupunk007]

@FilthyIcon right on man... hey it's hard to say im a christian punk, but some pps just dont know... i think real christianity has a lot to do with some punk. None of that bullshit christian shit that is fed off to many on TV or expensive churches

[FilthyIcon]

@otakupunk007

yeaah i know right? ;p the music is fantastic as well...

[otakupunk007]

haha these lyrics are what some punk bands neeed!!!

these here are true christian lyrics!!!

[Botany101]
