This one seems to be about the recent corporate funded wars/military industrial complex. "Tar-black ejaculate" - Oil. The resulting product, the reward, from the wars is oil. "The pursuit of ruin. Murderous ambition" - Certain corporations benefit enormously from military conflicts. By the very nature of capitalism these companies are therefore striving for war which brings death and ruin. "The pairing of blood and power" and "Death and profit begotten, fused" refer to capitalism/Western economy directly being linked to world conflict. "Behold the newborn monstrosity" - this pairing of war and capitalism is a relatively recent occurance in modern history. "Indifferent war machine in all its violent glory" - a corporation is a self-sustaining almost organism, who's only real purpose is to make a profit. A corporation when thought of as a single organism is indifferent to human lives. These corporations are now directly tied into wars/military. |

For some reason I think this song is about having a child! "Writhing and embraced" and "serving one single new dimension" I interpret as giving into bestial urges to reproduce. This urge is very strong in all animals, people included, and can be all consuming. "Terror rising. Agnostics nemesis. A prophet of extinction" to me sounds like the pregnancy/gestation. The fear of upcoming responsibility and being given something to worship in the future? "My deliverance - enslavement labelled: love" - The realisation at the moment of birth that you are now a parent, and responsible for this newborn child that you love. This love is so strong that it enslaves you. "Just trust this nemesis to sign and seal extinction " - I get the feeling the new baby/love is the nemesis to the selfish self serving self, and as such puts an end to it. |
