James (aka Metal Methodist) says:
So I nominate Chaos AD by Brazilian death metallers and groove metal pioneers Sepultura. This song is a rage against corrupt and unjust systems so links to liberation theology given the band’s Latin American roots. The lyrics talk about the fear and the need to take a stand.
As we journey through Holy Week I also wonder to what extent it describes the worst-case scenario of the ruling elite at the time of Jesus…
Chaos A.D.
Tanks on the streets
Confronting police
Bleeding the plebs
Raging crowd
Burning cars
Bloodshed starts
Who’ll be alive?
Chaos A.D.
Army in siege
Total alarm
I’m sick of this
Inside the state
War is created
No man’s land
What is this shit?
Refuse
Resist
Refuse
Chaos A.D.
Disorder unleashed
Starting to burn
Starting to lynch
Silence means death
Stand on your feet
Inner fear
Your worst enemy
Refuse
Resist
Refuse
Resist
