Gods Of The World

Angra's song 'Gods Of The World' delves into the themes of control, manipulation, and the quest for a better world. The lyrics paint a picture of a society where unseen forces, referred to as the 'gods of the world,' manipulate and control the masses. These 'gods' are not divine beings but rather powerful entities or individuals who hold sway over the fate of humanity. The song's opening lines, with their mix of Latin phrases and English, set a mystical and almost ritualistic tone, suggesting a deeper, almost spiritual struggle for freedom and truth.

The chorus emphasizes the deceptive nature of words and how they can be used to blind and control people. The 'gods' use lies and manipulation to maintain their power, keeping the masses divided and in the dark. The lyrics 'Words are lies, you know how well the story goes, they blind your eyes, you fall in with the darkest minds' highlight the insidious nature of propaganda and misinformation. This theme is particularly relevant in today's world, where information is often weaponized to influence public opinion and maintain control.

The song also touches on the idea of disillusionment with traditional heroes and leaders. The line 'Old heroes in disguise, no one is perfect in this world' suggests that those we look up to are often flawed and may even be complicit in the systems of control. The repeated refrain of 'Gods of the world, control us all' serves as a stark reminder of the pervasive influence of these powerful entities. Ultimately, 'Gods Of The World' is a call to awareness and resistance, urging listeners to see through the lies and strive for a better, more just world.
