The lyrics express a rejection of organized religion and the idea of a higher power dictating one's life. The opening lines, "Take your god out of my life, Your words mean nothing to me" make it clear that the speaker does not want any part of religious doctrine or teachings.

The phrase "one pocket full of money" suggests that religious institutions use people's beliefs to gain wealth and power. The line "How can someone die when he never existed?" questions the validity of a deity or any higher power.

The call to "burn it down" can be interpreted as a call for rebellion against these oppressive forces and a desire to break free from the control of organized religion. The chorus of the song, "Your illusions kill your mind, Pay in the name of god or pay for nothing" serves as a powerful statement against the harmful effects of religious manipulation. It suggests that blindly following religious teachings causes mental and emotional harm, and challenges the idea that one must pay or suffer for spiritual beliefs. In summary, "Heaven Shall Burn's song One More Lie" criticizes organized religion, questioning the existence of a higher power and exposing the manipulation and deception often associated with religious institutions.
