Machinae Supremacy – Rocket Dragon Lyrics 11 years ago
This song speaks of someone who fled from an Earth burning towards the end of the world in a war or invasion of some kind (my guess is aliens).

"I wield the true all-seeing eye
My vision digitized and bright despite the veil of night
Those really people on my screen?
They run around and panic in between places to hide,"
From orbit he sees clearly what is happening on the surface, and all the people that are suffering.

The chorus has two different meanings. The first time it is said to the people mentioned before: "Run away as the world is going to end. Can you hear the sound of those who hunt you?". Here "The Sky" falling means the end of the world and the "Demons" and those causing it to fall.

"I long to give them all a taste,
a sudden breath of hellfire raised to send them all away (either to the next life or the aliens theory)
A few more souls to make my day"
He considers returning to fend off those who are causing the end of the world (give 'em a taste of their own medicine). Saving at least a few "souls" would suffice to him.

Then the chorus hits again with a more badass tone and this time addressed to the bad guys: "Run, run away, 'cause I'm going to kick your ass. Stay down if you have known defeat before. Can you hear me coming for you?". This time, "The Sky" falling and the "Demon" is our hero reentering the atmosphere to fend for those who can not fend for themselves.

After the awesome dramatic pause he speaks to both of them showing his resolve:

"As I burn down (Reentering the atmosphere) and murder I know that God forgives"
He knows his violent and vengeful intentions are justified.

"‘Spite all the things I’ve done,
my soul yet forever lives"
Dispite ruining his chances of escape he knows his soul will survive.

"All those caught in the shadow of my wings have cause to fear
I swear on all I’ve done
No evil shall linger here"
Pretty self-explaining...


Hope you like my interpretation of the lyrics =D
Sorry for the long comment =/
