I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
(Music : Azagthoth / Lyrics : Vincent)
Cold finger on the trigger
Behind a line drawn in the sand
Anger rise !
We fight a war with much at stake
The rights of birth that no one can take
Overflowing with anger
A soon to be awakening
Will be martyrs on to glory
Dawn fings us in this rage
As it must be
This dawn of the mad
My finger on the button
With what¹s so foreign in my sights
Anger rise !
We wage a war ... our nature to preserve
By any means... our enemies be gone
No longer can we wait
As an enemy drains our future
As the light of a new day shines
Our anger fuels our march this dawn
Call of duty ... all the minutemen rise and shine
Call of duty ... only sovereigns stand the test of time
Cold finger on the trigger
Behind a line drawn in the sand
Anger rise !
We fight a war with much at stake
The rights of birth that no one can take
Overflowing with anger
A soon to be awakening
Will be martyrs on to glory
Dawn fings us in this rage
As it must be
This dawn of the mad
My finger on the button
With what¹s so foreign in my sights
Anger rise !
We wage a war ... our nature to preserve
By any means... our enemies be gone
No longer can we wait
As an enemy drains our future
As the light of a new day shines
Our anger fuels our march this dawn
Call of duty ... all the minutemen rise and shine
Call of duty ... only sovereigns stand the test of time

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
You have a dirty mouth, little girl. Firstly, I have never said that I didn't like Morbid Angel, Secondly, I agree that for their time, Morbid Angel were heavy, but times have changed, mainstream bands have drawn many of their influences from death metal bands like Morbid Angel and have surpased them in terms of speed and brutality. If Killswitch Engage had released "Alive or just breathing" at the same time as Morbid Angel put out "Covenent", can you honestly tell me that anyone would have claimed Morbid Angel were heavier? Not a chance.
