Anthropoid
Architects of Ruin: Unveiling the Apex Predator's Message
Lyrics
Arrogance mounted on a poison steed
Arrogance is prominently displayed, riding on a destructive force.
Hangman swings from a rope of conceit
A symbol of authority executes out of self-centeredness.
Pale horse runs septic through his veins
Symbolically, corruption courses through his being.
For I am the end of all his days
The speaker believes they'll bring about the end of this individual.
A dead finger pulls the trigger to decide the final hour
Implying someone is manipulated or coerced into making a final decision.
We are the faces of the end
We represent the conclusion, the end of something.
We are the architects of ruin
We're responsible for the downfall, the destruction.
Fathers of rebellion, disciples of the reaper
Leaders of defiance, followers of death's path.
We are the apex predator
We're at the top of the food chain, superior.
A superior man, I will bleed the butcher dry
Ready to exhaust a tyrant's resources.
In the underground I live, I fight, I die
The speaker lives, fights, and potentially dies resisting authority.
I will trust the iron heart
They rely on unyielding strength and resolve.
I will crush the death head's march
They will defeat a threatening force.
A dead finger pulls the trigger to decide the final hour
Reiterated idea of someone making a crucial, final decision under duress.
We are the faces of the end
We epitomize the conclusion, the end of something.
We are the architects of ruin
We're the creators of downfall, destruction.
Fathers of rebellion, disciples of the reaper
Leading a rebellion, adherents to a path toward death.
We are the apex predator
We're at the pinnacle of the hierarchy, dominant.
Bleed the butcher dry
Continued determination to drain an oppressor's resources.
Under the cross we're bound to die
Acceptance of facing demise while standing against oppression.
I'm ready
Readiness for a significant event or confrontation.
'Cause I am what you are too afraid to be
Repetition emphasizing the speaker embodies what others fear to become.
I am what you are too afraid to be
-I am what you are too afraid to be
-'Cause I am what you are
Continuation of the assertion that the speaker embodies what others fear.
We are the faces of the end
Reiterating their role as the conclusion, the end.
We are the architects of ruin
Repeatedly affirming their position as creators of destruction.
Fathers of rebellion, disciples of the reaper
Leaders of resistance, followers of death's path.
We are the apex predator
Emphasizing their superior status within the hierarchy.
(We are)
Reaffirming their collective identity.
I live
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's commitment to resisting authority and potentially sacrificing themselves for the cause.
I fight
-I die
-(We are)
-I live
-I fight
-I die
-(We are)
-I live
-I fight
-I die
-(We are)
-The apex predator
