Curiosità
Insieme a "Sybaritic metal", questa canzone potrebbe essere la quintessenza del messaggio rotgodiano. È anche l'unica canzone su "Sonic degeneracy" in cui ho fatto uso dello storytelling mitologico per esprimere un'idea. Il testo mostra la cosiddetta "corruzione" di Adamo ed Eva dalla prospettiva del serpente (c'è sempre un altro lato della storia...), e il ritornello omaggia il film "L'avvocato del diavolo" citando il classico discorso di Al Pacino su Dio (il mio monologo preferito nella storia del cinema). La canzone è un inno fanatico e trionfante alla libertà, all'auto-appagamento, all'independenza da ogni imperativo trascendentale, e alla potenza del sapere scientifico che l'uomo può usare per manipolare le forze della natura a proprio vantaggio; in breve, ciò che mi piace definire "umanesimo cinico". Potremo anche essere stati banditi dal paradiso e costretti a una vita di sforzi, ma ricordate... è sempre "meglio regnare all'inferno che servire in paradiso"!
Testo
Disobey your God
You'll be mightier than him
Overthrow the tyrant
And set yourselves free
Rebellion breaks the circle
Knowledge comes to you
This is what he doesn't want
He needs you as a slave
Discover yourself
Your instincts and your pulses
Learn how to be autonomous
No more prohibitions
God likes to watch
He's a prankster
That's why he created you
He gives you instincts
And then sets
Rules in opposition
Look, but don't touch
Touch but don't taste
Taste but don't swallow
All for his own amusement
He's a sadist
Worship that? NEVER
Your almighty creator
So lonely and powerless
Had to create this circus
To feel satisfied
Break his perverse circle
You are not condemned
You can perceive feelings
He'll never truly enjoy
His immortal life
Is still more miserable
Than a finite life based
On intense emotions
God likes to watch
He's a prankster
That's why he created you
He gives you instincts
And then sets
Rules in opposition
Look, but don't touch
Touch but don't taste
Taste but don't swallow
All for his own amusement
He's a sadist
Worship that? NEVER
Act of rebellion
Tear paradise down
Escape from God's lies
Taking the pill
Starting to see
The things that he's hiding
The first seeds
Of critical thought
Germinate from here
No supreme authority
Left unquestioned
Radical skepticism
Condemned to a cruel life
By a jealous God
Pain and effort
Your punishment
The force of knowledge
Will allow you to survive
This rotten world will become
Your own personal kingdom
Reason will help you to
Become the master of Earth
Resistance goes on to this day
Against our bastard father
