Creed is controversial
 

There's one thing that dissappoints me about Creed and that's the song Freedom Fighter. In 'Higher' they promote love, in 'Freedom Fighter' war. I likie their peaceful side better.

I think you misinterpret the meaning of Freedom Fighter. No where in the lyrics do I see a "support of war"

Re: Creed is controversial
 

I never gathered pro-war either. But what is it about?

Re: Creed is controversial
 

It's a metaphor like " Bullets". I think the song is about spiritual anguish, seeking that ultimate FREEDOM. He may be talking about confronting judgemental, prideful, liars. "soon there'll come a day when your face to face with me." Maybe?

Yeah I saw Freedom Fighter more as kinda a "Fuck You Nay sayers" type of song and I like songs with a big Buck you attached to it. :)

"holy war" doesn't always mean a war fought with guns and swords...it's a spititual war...a spiritual fight...

Re: Creed is controversial
 

I thought of the song as a spiritual one until I tried to download it once and the filename said "Creed-Freedom Fighter-Bombs on Baghdad". Anyway 'people marching all around' sounds to me like a real war.

Well, the verses show nothing of a physical war really

The mouths of envious
Always find another door
While at the gates of paradise they
beat us down some more
But our mission’s set in stone
‘Cause the writing’s on the wall
I’ll scream it from the mountain tops
pride comes before a fall

So many thoughts to share
All this energy to give
Unlike those who hide the truth
I tell it like it is
If the truth will set you free
I feel sorry for your soul
Can’t you hear the ringing ‘cause
for you the bell tolls

I’m just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me
Face to face with me

Can’t you hear us coming?
People marching all around
Can’t you see we’re coming?
Close your eyes it’s over now
Can’t you hear us coming?
The fight has only just begun
Can’t you see we’re coming?

I’m just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there’ll come a day
When you’re face to face with me
Face to face with me
