Lyrics
Death comes for us now
Anticipation of imminent death
The soft crushing blow
A gentle yet forceful impact
At the worlds end
Reference to the end of the world
Drawn by the undertow
Pulled by a strong undercurrent
Men, women, civilians
People of all genders and ages
Born of radiation
Originating from exposure to radiation
Blood runs in street
Symbolic depiction of widespread violence
Mass devastation
Extensive destruction on a large scale
Seven Sided Strike
Reference to a powerful and decisive attack
Faces of the children dead
Victims include innocent children
Most are hacked through the head
Brutal means of causing death
The great cleansing of fire
Describing a purification through fire
Stacked up on the funeral pyre
Bodies piled for a ceremonial burning
What's left for the next generation?
Concern for the legacy of the next generation
Devoid of hope sparks mutation
Hopelessness leading to genetic mutations
A hammer, a sickle, a swastika
Symbolic references to historical symbols of power and corruption
Yet another corrupt officer
Highlighting systemic corruption
Seven Sided Strike
Reiteration of a potent and impactful strike
How are we meant to live our lives?
Questioning the feasibility of life after a nuclear catastrophe
In the event of nuclear demise
Being pulled by the mercy of difficulties
Pulled by the mercy of our woes
The silent suffering of nations facing demise
No one hears the nations death throes
Unheard cries of a dying nation
Still we see hate with a racist degree
Observing racism and hatred even in dire circumstances
We'll all be buried under the sea
An apocalyptic vision of being submerged under the sea
Evolution is wasted with pride
Critique of misplaced pride hindering evolution
Money flips the scales aside
Highlighting the corrupting influence of money
