Iš tikrųjų sunku skaityt apie visą tą pyktį ir bjaurastis, sykiu - visiškai priešingai nei, pvz, Rothenbergo Khurbn - visur matyti kone piktdžiugą ir pompastiką, kylančią iš to blogio. Kitu metu galvočiau, gal čia emo vibes, o dabar, kai blogio kasdien per visus kanalus yra daug - jis tiesiog slegia ir vargina, norisi sakyti Varnui - žinai eik tu šikt, nekenčiu. Kažkodėl atrodo, kad jis tuo džiaugtųsi.

Line seven is unusual insofar as it is the only line that uses the first person, but it is unclear whether the “me” refers to Crow or some other figure. The rhetorical question serves as a challenge against religion, as it seemingly doubts the existence of a higher power. The use of the pronoun “somebody” creates a sense of ambiguity as it does not refer to a specific deity, and it also undermines the power of the person it refers to by using such ordinary language.
