I really don't understand the lyrics and what the hell she is talking about.
I suspect is a christian lyric, and in that case I cannot own the song, the same way I cannot own any religious song from any other religion than judaism.
So, can I keep the song or not?

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Not funny, Viper.

Mocking your fellow metalheads is not cool.

Siege

Yeah, I didn't keep it.
It is not overly christian, but I can't tell for sure.
So its nixed.

Because it mentions a crucifix? That doesn't make the song *Christian* in any meaningful way. Christian symbolism is quite common in secular Western media.

song sux lol
All of Siegebreaker's music sucks, regardless of religious bent.

The funny thing is that he was all hot over Evanescence, who were a religion band.  Siegebreaker is a liar, a false Jew and a true fag.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I only have the evenescence songs that are not overly religious.
I don't have "My Inmortal", or the other one.

The same with Flyleaf.
I could only keep like 3 songs from Flyleaf.

I agree. Mentioning a crucifix is no problem.
What worries me is the rest of the lyrics.
Here is the whole song:



"Invisible"

Dress like we do,
Speak like we do,
Think like we do.

Obey...

Beneath the cold sun
Watching you walk away
Where my terror runs
In rivers so decayed

I am invisible...
I'm in this room for days...
Teeth on every wall...
That never go away.

I'm made of blades and flame...
I'm sick and dangerous...
You're my favorite prey
'Cause I hurt the ones I love.

You're so lovely when you cry.
You're so perfect when you lie.
You can be my crucifix,
Hold me up to watch me die.

Can't you see?
I'm invisible...

Beneath the Pagan moon
One more prey dies today.
On sheets of flesh and doom
Shivering in endless shade like criminals...
The stain still remains
And I promise you, it never goes away.

You're so lovely when you cry.
You're so perfect when you lie.
You can be my crucifix,
Hold me up to watch me die.

Behold,
Feast your eyes as the peripherals explode.

Can you see me now? [2x]

The ugly will resign
When the young blood eats the light.
And one day,
This pain could save your life.

You're so lovely when you cry.
You're so perfect when you lie.
You can be my crucifix,
Hold me up to watch me die.

War on every shoulder
Lye on every eye
We're painting submission
Across the shadowed sky...

Fire on the sides,
Burned and bright, has arrived (?)
Lost in flight, on golden molted wings.

Now do you see?

Now do you...

Now do you see?

[INTRO TO HOME GROWN]

Mama, don't cry...
For believing his lie...
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.

Paid for our sins,
You protected us then...
And saved us all.

I make this vow,
I promise you now:

He'll never touch us again...

He'll never touch us again...

He'll never touch us again...



"All men are created equal, then some become infantry."

"Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't."

"Laissez faire et laissez passer, le monde va de lui même!"


Siege

The parts of the song that seem christian:


Paid for our sins,
You protected us then...
And saved us all.

Beneath the Pagan moon
One more prey dies today.
On sheets of flesh and doom  ( what's is she talking about? Christian proseltism during the roman times?)



"All men are created equal, then some become infantry."

"Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't."

"Laissez faire et laissez passer, le monde va de lui même!"

Yeah, but I really like the song.

A shame I can't keep it.

That's why I hate songs with religious lyrics that are sold as normal music.
In Israel religious music is always laballed religious, whatever the religion might be.
