Iced Earth-Consequences

The song Consequences playing from the album Something Wicked This Way Comes.




As human beings, we're a complex thing
Sometimes so beautiful, other times so vain
We've built an empire, the blood is on our hands
Genocide and the chains that bind
The consequence ahead

Oh, you ought to know
Oh, you ought to know

Wrote about in history as if it's all O.K.
A race of people murdered another one enslaved
Now our world crumbles, it's happening within
Open your eyes and realize
The world we're living in

Oh, you ought to know
Oh, you ought to know

If we could focus on important things
Live and let live true freedom, not everyone's the same
No more war for your god, no more war for your race
It's our world, it's what we make it
Make it a better place

Oh, you ought to know
Oh, you ought to know

We can change the world that we're living in
Live and let live true freedom
Let the reign begin

[Solidsidious]

One of Iced Earths most under rated songs...

[optimustime]

is it? religion is the number one killer of the billions dead from ancient times, mideval crusades, and modern bombings. muslims have kill infidels in their holy book. Jews have take israel from the muslims to get to heaven in theirs. lets not forget what christian colonists did to indians. im not leaving this to get into a bible battle. im leaving this so all of you can see that religion should never be organized and fundamentalists are irrational idiots.

[TMF58]

Does anybody else get a western vibe from this song?

[muslimmetalman]

@drizzt102 " im leaving this so all of you can see that religion should never be organized and fundamentalists are irrational idiots."

that was the original message

[ultimatemanofwar]

@curefreak Lemmy collects WW II medals and some other things and that doesn't make him a nazi , does it ???

[drizzt102]

@MrFlagTube You are blind man. Let us start at christianity. How many billions if not TRILLIONS of bodies do they have in their closet in their history. Hitler killed 6 MILLION jews in his death camps in four years. You know what. The christians have slaughters over the same amounts of time that double and triple that amount. Let me go to the obvious one....SPANISH INQUISITION!!!! religion is a power grab when it becomes a doctrine and a dogma that you feel you have to inflict on others.

[drizzt102]

@optimustime "Faith, can be liberating and refreshing, or restricting and enslaving, it all depends what form it takes. A faith that becomes a dogma, something you feel you have to preach and force on others isn't a faith at all, it is simply a tool u believe you can use to control others." (Bruce Dickinson with a twist of my own in it)

[flanzashreddah]

evil can't exist outside of our minds, and we all know not to be afraid of our thoughts, right? there's real, then there's literal interpretation of poetry, which would you believe? The judgement of religion brings out the very worst in the "faithful."

[nootnam]

hey optimustime you must be very blind my friend. religion is power, the power to control millions of people by scaring them into thinking if they dont believe what you do then your gonna go to a damned place. religion is nothing but power. open your eyes to all the CONSEQUENCES that will happen from this. no religion is right or wrong, god didnt intend for religion because thats separation. if there was a god he intended exactly what this song states

[MrFlagTube]

@optimustime Religion ahahahahahahaha.. You must be crazy.. So your conclusion is that if there was no religion there wouldn't be so much killing?!?! You are so shortminded.. Of course that there would be killing as mush as with religion "As human beings, we're a complex thing, Sometimes so beautiful, other times so vain"!!! It's about power man, not religion... And I am leaving this so you and others can think about it.

[VincentVonGoat]

slow at start, but nice. [1st Iced Earth song I've heard]

good political msg

[curefreak]

doesn't the guitar player collect civil war memorabilia? how can he write anti-war songs while collecting that kind of stuff?
