Dead Lyon is written from the viewpoint from Maximilien de Robespierre. He is considered by many to be the father of the French Revolution and in effect, the Reign Of Terror. Although he made some mention to providence in his speeches, he was a staunch secularist and this was evident in the fruits of the revolution. During the Revolution, the city of Lyon rose up against the National Convention of France. They were under siege for roughly 60 days before they had to surrender. Let this be a lesson to all Christians that government is always a prospective threat.
lyrics
State your beliefs, destroy your questions
forget your doubts
No more gods, no more contradictions
I am max and I bring you your new lord
and savior, a new hope, to bring purity of thought
and freedom (blasphemy)
For all the ones who stand firm, for those who love the unseen
History will be kind to us, for we intend to write it with your blood.
Impregnable to faith, freedom at last
So one at a time, fall in line and state your beliefs
before it's all you have left
"I will end you as your jaw hangs off"
What will our children say?
If we are to rely on those who rely on faith
I demand to speak to this Creator
face to face, because whose to say
I can't break Him?
We can't bow to what's not proven
Maybe bliss is ignorance.
But I refuse to see what good hope brings
forth in anyone, so witness the birth of an
anarchy, the death of the Christian cause.
So state your beliefs, destroy your questions
Forget your God. Forget what you know.
Give us your support or we burn it all
History will be kind to us, cause we
intend to write it with your blood.
The death of all tenacious believers
will be the song of our revolution.
