Lyrics
Well listen up 'cause here they come
Introduction to the arrival of a significant force or event.
They're filing out one by one
Individuals or entities are emerging in a sequential manner.
They're climbing all down your halls
The presence is spreading throughout the environment.
They're seeping in through your walls
The influence is infiltrating and permeating through barriers.
You'll want to laugh, but you'll cry instead
Contrast between the expected (laughter) and the actual emotional response (crying) to the incoming force.
Here come the dead
Confirmation of the arrival of a significant, potentially ominous force.
Well you've got nothing when you ain't got time
Without sufficient time, possessions or resources lose value.
They'll strike you down right in your prime
An immediate and impactful downfall, especially during a peak period of life.
Blood and guts on your knees
Graphic depiction of a chaotic and violent situation.
It all went nuts, I'll tell you that for free
A situation has escalated into chaos, emphasizing the unexpected nature of events.
The sky is black, the moon is red
Symbolic description of a foreboding atmosphere.
Here come the dead
Reiteration of the imminent arrival of a significant force, emphasizing its inevitability.
A ceaseless fire and an endless rain
Reference to destructive forces, suggesting a cleansing or purging.
Are gonna flush us apes back down the drain
A metaphor for humanity facing regression or decline.
We're all hanging on, hog-mad with fear
Collective anxiety and panic in the face of impending doom.
It's pandemonium in here
Chaos and disorder are prevalent, emphasizing the intensity of the situation.
We prayed for Heaven, but we got this instead
Disappointment with the outcome, contrasting with initial hopes or expectations.
Here come the dead
Reaffirmation of the arrival of the significant force, emphasizing inevitability and a sense of dread.
The end is coming, well just you wait
Confirmation of an approaching end, underscoring a sense of impending finality.
We prayed for mercy about a minute too late
Regret for delayed prayers for mercy, implying a missed opportunity for salvation.
Oh my Lord, set me free
Plea for liberation or relief from the impending crisis.
I once was blind but now I see
A transformative realization or enlightenment in the face of adversity.
It all added up just like they said
Confirmation that events unfolded as predicted or warned.
