about

This song is about the execution of Maximilien Robespierre. He is considered by many to be the father of the French Revolution and in effect, the reign of terror. During his imprisonment, like every terrorist coward, he tried to kill himself by a shot to the head. He failed and his jaw was coming off due to the gunshot. He was beheaded with a sling on his head to keep his jaw in place. The end of God's enemies is a theatrical one.

lyrics

I think it's clear now who had the great fall attempted suicide ended with hanging jaw.
I was loved by my followers, the incorruptible was my entrance song. But I was wrong.

Now I'm in prison, craven to face the death I had once strongly supported. But who is counting?
The words I said to exalt the death of opponents, have been turned back to me. I think my monster has turned on me.
xi.xi.vii
17,000 heads, me and my friends
have endorsed to be cut off.
Save it, I don't regret it.
Here's to the sound of my
name through the ages.
Fix your eyes on me
I am the maker of this onslaught
who brought the terror
the scholars have taught.
Don't take the bullet of
Christ or His Way.
My plans are obviously best.

The rights of men pertain to their salt
whatever salt they bring to the council
I will see that we all have one accord
until the streets have found us shameless.
But now my time has come
I've run the race for all the atheists
To keep our hope anchored in stone
To hear satan's kingdom come

Who's your protector?
Who's your supply?
Who can set you free?
Who will say, place your
yoke upon me?
Who can be your banner?
Tell me, who can turn the waves
of our errors and calm the seas?
No one but me, see the irony?
Even killing me, they love me
and I face the sky.
Hear me clearly, pity is treason
