"REPROBATE MINDS" OFFICIAL LYRICS
VERSE I
Faith is required
To undo one’s
Deceitful desires
Avarice governs
The masses’
Blissful ignorance
Are we sovereigns
Or are we slaves
In the abyss?
There’s only
One remedy
To this dire tragedy
CHORUS
Just tell us why
The secrets you hide
Is what’s utilized
To oppress, dehumanize
Faith in the Most High
Cures reprobate minds
But when cynics doubt
Pure intent gets left out
VERSE II
The god of this world
Was hurled down—
Now his wrath has unfurled
He sits on
A pot of gold—
The new order’s
Just the old
The minds
Of the blind
Are so low
Never above—just below
Material wealth
Is a main threat
To spiritual health
So...
[Chorus]
BRIDGE
Concise paradise
Contradicts itself
Draining the spirit
Till there’s nothing left
To hope for the unknown
Is my destiny
Till I reap what I’ve sown
[Chorus]
Lyrics to this song were inspired by the biblical verse: "For this cause AHAYAH gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain AHAYAH in their knowledge, AHAYAH gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of AHAYAH, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of AHAYAH, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them" (Romans 1:26-32).
