Pwnd lyrics from lyricsmania.com:
"I've got a secret," he said,
"We won't spare no people 'cause we need the souls."

This is an open invitation: you can keep their bodies, we're here for the souls

Yea,
Well God gave me very specific instructions, he said,
"Go down there and start sending roaches and floods and mass destruction."

Because he said, "They've lost the scent
And I don't even care why they didn't repent."
He said, "We need a new creation,
The system's self fulfilling,
It's about to self-destruct."

And He said, "Open up their eyes and let them know that I am very close to them now ,
And I've always known that it would come to this,
And that they finally have something very real to fear,
Because I am very, very close."

Open up their eyes and let them know
I'm very close to them, and
Nothing will be left behind, and
They've got something to fear.
God is very near.

He's got no room for your body,
but He's got a place for your soul, and You'll lose your life
And it might be a terrible blow.

He said, "Burn 'em up. Salt the earth. Do it fast. Make it hurt. Forget about salvation to get a new destination."
He said, "Melt the ice. Clean the snow. Here's a new sensation--it's called destiny, manifest."

Get 'em out of those bodies.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on in the comments section, but stop it.

[danceathon2005]

yr lyrics for pwnd are incorrect. buy the awesome multi-colored double disc vinyl. there's a lyrics page that comes with it.

"he said go down there and start SOME ERUPTIONS and floods..."

"foget about salvation, THEY'VE GOT A NEW DESTINATION. he said melt the ice, CLEAN THE STONE, PEEL THE SKIN, GRIND THE BONE"

[Tanker940]

Oh well.

As a friend of these dudes, the religious content stems from the bands brothers growing up in a deeply Christian environment. It's less making fun of Christianity than it is an expression of coming to terms with the poisonous upbringing.

This band reminds me of at the drive in..good band gotta look up more out their music..

@Andrewperezz This isn't about interpretations of the song. It's about the references to the bible. There are many. I've proven it using the lyrics. You claim it's about several religions. The mae shi say it's about the bible. They say so themselves in the interview on their site. The proof is in your face. I'm still waiting for the evidence you claim to have provided. Where is it? Show me lyrics that reference another religion. The proof is in the lyrics. Post your proof. I did.

[TheStrangeRanger]

@Andrewperezz You did NOT "prove your evidence." Where is it? Post lyrics that prove your claim. Just prove your point using the lyrics. I did. You said you did but that's a bald-faced lie. I even used quotes from the band members themselves that prove my point. So I've provided lyrics and quotes from the band that prove my claim utterly. All I ever said was that they reference the bible and no other religion. The lyrics, the band and every review are in absolute agreement.

[Andrewperezz]

@TheStrangeRanger again your clearly mistaking me from honcho and in all honesty I'm not that person but yet you always jump to assumptions. I came on to listen to the song and i was trying to see others views of this song and when i saw you two arguing i jumped in and i agreed with honcho because honcho has some what the same view on it. Besides i prove my evidence so yeah. if it makes you happy your right ok i surrender my interpretations but honcho i like your individual view on this. bye..

[TheStrangeRanger]

@Andrewperezz I have an idea. Instead of running away, backtracking and attacking me why don't you post lyrics that prove your claim? This debate is about the lyrics. The band says the lyrics are based on the bible. Just the bible. The interview with them says that clearly. They don't mention any other religion but christianity. If I'm wrong then prove it with lyrics instead of avoiding the subject. Just prove your point using the lyrics. I did. And the band members say the same thing.

[TheStrangeRanger]

@Andrewperezz aka honcho - I'm not trying to make you believe anything. I'm pointing out actual facts. The fact is the band members themselves say it's about the end of the world according to the BIBLE. Yes the songs are open to interpretation but the religious references are ALL from the bible. Period. If I'm wrong then prove it. Just post lyrics that prove your point. Stop avoiding the subject honcho. The band says it's from the bible. They wrote the stuff. I think they would know.

[Andrewperezz]

@TheStrangeRanger Mkay what ever makes you happy. Seeing how your becoming childish and resort to cursing seeing how its in your nature. i'm going to leave this subject because arguing with a child is pointless and its going no where. aka arguing with you is time consuming because you get heated over something so small is your life that bad my friend i'm simply having a chat debating? not so much just posting my view on it. but you know stubborn people these days.....

[TheStrangeRanger]

@Andrewperezz Wrong again. You're a moron. Look. This debate is so easy to prove. You have claimed over and over that it contains references to other religions than xtianity. If that's true then you should be able to quote them. Shouldn't you? If there are references to other religion's in the lyrics then post them. It's so simple. Just prove your point using the lyrics. Either do that of fuck off. I can prove my point with the lyrics. I already have. Prove your point with the lyrics. You can't.
