The Devil takes the Blood
Unveiling the Human Paradox: The Devil Takes the Blood
Lyrics
No God to save us
No belief in a saving deity
No devil to blame
No external force to hold responsible for our actions
No hate in this heart
An absence of hatred within the speaker's heart
But what was taught by man
Learning influenced by human teachings
The gun will sound out
Gunfire as a symbol of violence and conflict
As death rings the bell
Death announced metaphorically by a tolling bell
What will we leave
Reflection on the legacy or impact left behind
When the soul leaves the shell
Contemplating what remains after the soul departs the body
No god for us
Reiteration of the absence of a god for the speaker
Man takes the gun
Humanity resorting to weapons, particularly guns
And the women takes the knife
Both men and women resorting to violence
The devil takes the blood that was spilled this night
The devil metaphorically claiming the spilled blood
God save us
An invocation for divine intervention
God save us
Repetition of the plea for divine salvation
No god for us
Restating the absence of a god for the speaker
Show me the savior
Seeking a false sense of security or comfort
Warm embrace of the lie
Desire for the comforting deception of a lie
Bring me the steel
Call for strength and resilience symbolized by steel
Show me the fire
Yearning for a display of passion or intensity symbolized by fire
No god for us
Reiteration of the lack of a god for the speaker
