The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Father of Lies" by the artist "Whitechapel"

The lyrics of the song "Father of Lies" by Whitechapel are a monologue of a lyrical hero who is obviously possessed by a demonic entity. He addresses God with a challenge and blasphemy, asserting his power and independence.

The hero boasts of his atrocities: the murder of innocents and the desecration of the body of the enemy's mother (perhaps a hint at the Virgin Mary). He denies his guilt, claiming that he was doing God's will ("I did everything you asked of me").

Further, the hero proclaims himself "the father of lies", challenging divine authority. He craves power and asks to be "enlightened", to be shown the true face of the "so-called fellowship" (perhaps referring to heaven or angels). The hero sees himself and his kind as "enemies, destroyers of heaven," and humanity is doomed.

The fragments "(Torn apart)" can mean either the torture that the hero is subjected to or his growing power, tearing apart the shackles of reality.

At the end of the song, the hero again addresses the "pro-creator", reminding him of his "prophecy" and predicting the inevitability of destruction.
