"I cry when angels *deserve* to die" Why would angels *deserve* to die?
Nothing against the song; I listen to it all the time. It's probably a comparison, most likely to a girl (the song starts with "putting on a little make up"), and being rejected (why have you forsaken me). To compare it with the bible is still a bit creepy.
i remeber when i was the biggest System of a Down fan back in 6th garade like 5 years ago. i had the original cd by them and my favorite song was sugar.

The song has more than one meaning, as most SOAD songs do.
In an interview, Daron Malakian explained, "the song is about how we are regarded differently depending on how we pass. Like, if I were now to die from a drug abuse, they might say I deserved it because I abused dangerous drugs."
and was also inspired by Kurt Cobain's suicide.
I learned this in 3 minutes of searching on google.
I find he lyrics to mean that he think his suicide is justified as god has forsaken him, i think his cru=ying is the reason he thinks the angels deserve to die. That's the only way i can decode it, and i suppose if he was satanic then it makes sense that god has forsaken him and angels don't care, i guess that is the link they made.
What does it matter if it's satanic? Will you let that stop you from enjoying a song you like? I listen to music I like, regardless of religious affiliation. I have both Creed (christian rock) and Slayer (satanic thrash metal) on my mp3 player, and enjoy both bands.
It always struck me as a song about suicide...on another note, what's "Cigaro" about?

It seems to be about big business men who control the world, who's only reason for fighting is to er.. compensate for something... Look at the lyrics. ;)
