Lyrics
Shadows of death creep on black wings
Reference to impending death portrayed with ominous imagery.
Where your hollow prayers are silenced by your sins
Hypocritical prayers are silenced by the weight of sins.
We've been here before and we'll come this way again
Cycle of facing challenges repeats; a sense of inevitability.
Dragged through the flames 'til the screams all sound the same
Intense suffering and uniformity in the midst of chaos.
Stand up, be counted
Call to take a stand and be accountable.
In the blood of deceivers be anointed
Anointing oneself in the blood of deceivers signifies a vengeful act.
Tear them down from their ivory tower
Symbolic dismantling of those in positions of privilege.
Facing down our final hour
Facing an imminent, possibly catastrophic, moment.
You are the poison - death is the cure
The individual is a destructive force, and death is the solution.
Crumbling feet of clay bearing gold crowned knaves
Weakening foundations (feet of clay) of corrupt leaders adorned with false glory.
Burning eyes see through your disguise
Piercing vision reveals the true nature behind facades.
Liars and cheaters I'll put you in your graves
A direct warning to liars and cheaters about their impending demise.
Stand up, be counted
Reiteration of the call to take a stand and be counted.
In the blood of deceivers be anointed
Continuation of the vengeful act against deceivers.
Tear them down from their ivory tower
Reinforcement of dismantling oppressive structures.
Make them suffer with their feet to the fire
Inflicting pain upon the powerful, holding them accountable.
Stand up, be counted
Repeated call for accountability and action.
In the blood of deceivers be anointed
Continued emphasis on confronting deceivers.
Tear them down from their ivory tower
Reiteration of tearing down privileged structures.
Make them suffer with their feet to the fire
Imposing consequences, making the powerful face the consequences of their actions.
