Is this one of those cases right now? I see a lot of words here, but
it seems to me that it's just going round in circles.
A few biblical references in lyrics don't mean you're 'raising up

re-examine all those death-metal bands who have been bastardizing
canonical references from 3 or 4 major religions since the first Black
Sabbath album in 1969!
