Lyrics
On the legs of lightning,
Symbolizing a swift and powerful force, possibly representing change or destruction.
the storm rears in defeat.
The storm, despite its force, appears defeated or overwhelmed.
Rising in vain once more with the sea.
An unsuccessful attempt at rising or rebelling against an overwhelming force, here, likened to the sea.
Grey hand's reaching, cold under the swell.
A cold, lifeless grip emerging from beneath the water's surface.
Withered in the forge of our unbelief.
Destroyed or weakened due to disbelief or lack of faith.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
Assertion that all gods are created, perish, and will face consequences.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
Intent to banish or rid the world of deceitful figures representing authority.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
Metaphorically described the act of destroying idols or false gods, leaving them sightless, witnessing their own demise.
Uncrusaders, heretics to all faith.
Those who oppose established religious beliefs, rejecting the idea of crusades and heresy.
No slavery beyond death!
Rejecting the notion of being subservient even beyond death.
Every idol will feel our scourge.
Every revered figure or symbol will face punishment or chastisement.
They can't hold us in this life.
They cannot control or confine individuals within this life.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
Reiteration that gods are born, meet their end, and will be held accountable.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
A pledge to expel all deceptive authorities representing falsehood.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
Similar to line 10, emphasizing the destruction of false gods, leaving them blinded as they witness their own downfall.
The ransom of your soul must be paid for your dead.
The cost for liberation from oppression after death is retribution for the deceased.
The way out for us all: We'll take the jailer's head.
The path to freedom for everyone involves overthrowing the oppressor or captor.
All gods want, all gods need. Their sacrifices must bleed.
Gods demand sacrifices, typically involving bloodshed.
All gods breed, all gods die, all gods will pay.
Repetition of the idea that gods have a life cycle and will face consequences.
We'll exorcise all of these fathers of lies.
To expel or drive out all forms of deceitful figures masquerading as truth.
Burned holes for eyes behold the pyre of gods.
A repetition from lines 10 and 20, indicating the destruction of false gods, rendering them sightless as they witness their own demise.
