[Gloria Procella]

A great truthful song from a talented man.

[nviglietti]

Sadism rules the hearts of God's children, for God created man in his image. As God sadistically rules over his flock, he observes the "foulness" in man's nature, the "horror" in man's will. A will that was granted by God, the sadistic ruler who covets submission and power. In my opinion Randy is talking not just about God, or about man or mankind, but about life in general. He is observing the cyclical nature of sadism in our world, and does a fantastic job provoking thought and feeling.

[bloominthall]

Good can't live without evil. Evil cannot live without good. They come together in one package. We think we're so special in this vast universe, but really we are very,very small and subject to all the imperfection, that's the point of the song.

[KimJungILLen]

Yes there are consequences for sin that the world has reaped for their tremendous sins but for those who believe the curse is broken and they are given the kingdom to reign in and eternal life! And yes thank you some savior do I have I love him so much!

[ragdolledz]

Pity he wouldn't do the same for all those poor kids starving all over the world. Yet he'll provide for ignorant people living in luxury in forst-world nations. Some saviour you have there!
