So I got a couple of comments from both patreon & other test audiences which mentioned that out of context of the game, 'Savior's Seed' genuinely sounds like a dogmatic & obnoxious culty Christian song. 


In my mind the lyrics were meant to sound completely batshit insane, the irony was meant to be obvious without outright saying 'I - the character - am a sick, twisted villain'. But perhaps I didn't do a good enough job of communicating that? Maybe there's some Poe's law thing happening here and I should have been more obvious with the song's anti-cult theme? 

As my most trusted audience members, let me know what you guys think. I don't want to get a reputation as some wacko religious fundamentalist. 

The lyrics again, for context:

  

Savior’s Seed 


Can I get an amen

An amen now

Brothers and sisters

Can I get an amen

An amen now

Scatter that seed


Bad devils gonna rend your skin now

Wanna pull you down into the mire

But my river’s gonna cleanse your sin now

Safe from the righteous fire


Come brothers and sisters

We’ll give you everything you need

Come brothers and sisters

We’re scattering the savior’s seed


Free faith or by the force of my hand

You’re bringing me a soul to save

Cleanse the filthy from my great divine land

Hellfire upon their graves


Come brothers and sisters

We’ll give you everything you need

Come brothers and sisters

We’re scattering the savior’s seed


Step off the guilty path

And come into this world of mine

The Earth is collapsing down


Can I get an amen

An amen now

Brothers and sisters

Can I get an amen

An amen now

Scatter that seed


Come brothers and sisters

We’ll give you everything you need

Come brothers and sisters

We’re scattering the savior’s seed

It's a great song, and to anyone who knows anything about you the meaning is obvious. However, the sad fact is that it is almost impossible to be over the top enough to make it absolutely clear it's satire. No matter how batshit you make it, there are real world preachers saying stuff as bad or worse.

It fits the theme
