In The Presence Of My Enemies Lyrics
I never ask myself why injustice befell me
Accepted of the fact, try and live a life of peace
I'm not a violent man, but to those who'd threaten me
My enemy, for my family I'll show thee
Death I will fight you to
Wrath provoked you cannot bear
Our lives are not your toys
Mercy, not a drop to spare
You of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction
Kills
Innocence is lost when
The blood of innocents
Spills
I'm not a violent man, again I wish to repeat
But for every human that takes away a child's innocence
Whether it by molest, or by all wars pointlessness
Killer of life
Corruptor of all that is pure
I want your nose to break
Shattered under clenched fist
Smash face to concrete
Taste the asphalt's gentle kiss
You of destruction
Of hope's deconstruction
Kills
Innocence is lost when
The blood of innocents
Spills
[Solo: Demmel]
To those that are to blame
Destroyers of every dream
Breaking of hatred's wings
Mars' phoenix begins fading
To those that monger war
Claiming that this is to even scores
This mantra I invoke
No longer this fear will
I choke
There's no peace for the one who can't know peace
Your every breath it only lives to take
Someday the earth you will descend
Not a regret I'll harbor in
Tearless my eyes
Flowerless my hands
And that day when your moment is fleeting
That thought keeps my heart beating
When they lower your casket down
Bitter the sweet within my mouth
Ender of life
Corruptor of all that's pure
On Your Grave
I Will Stand
Accepted of the fact, try and live a life of peace
I'm not a violent man, but to those who'd threaten me
My enemy, for my family I'll show thee
Death I will fight you to
Wrath provoked you cannot bear
Our lives are not your toys
Mercy, not a drop to spare
Of hope's deconstruction
Kills
The blood of innocents
Spills
But for every human that takes away a child's innocence
Whether it by molest, or by all wars pointlessness
Killer of life
Corruptor of all that is pure
I want your nose to break
Shattered under clenched fist
Smash face to concrete
Taste the asphalt's gentle kiss
Of hope's deconstruction
Kills
The blood of innocents
Spills
Destroyers of every dream
Mars' phoenix begins fading
Claiming that this is to even scores
No longer this fear will
I choke
Your every breath it only lives to take
Someday the earth you will descend
Not a regret I'll harbor in
Tearless my eyes
Flowerless my hands
That thought keeps my heart beating
When they lower your casket down
Bitter the sweet within my mouth
Ender of life
Corruptor of all that's pure
I Will Stand

This song is a call to arms for those who embody evil and ruin lives. For those who destroy hope, destroyers of every dream, the war mongers, who take away a child's innocence, and spill innocent blood, death is coming for you, essentially. While we strive for peace, when loved ones are threatened, we can't stand aside, as there's no peace for the one who can't know peace. On the grave of the ender of purity and the corruptor of all that's pure, we will stand.
This seems to be about a child that was murdered, and a major bashing against the killer. Not sure exactly if it was a child that was close to Rob in some way...
Rob flynn was molested as a kid. This is basically a big fuck u to the guy who did it
Sounds to me like it's bashing anyone who takes someone's life - whether it be by declaring war or simply psychpathic acts of violence - and seeking the proverbial last laugh somehow.
Wow there are quite a few personal songs on that album. You can tell in the emotion in Robb's voice. I agree it's about child abuse of some sort
ive never actually actually heard this song but the lyrics are badass gonna go download it now
Man, I'm torn. I really like the music and the vocals, but I've read a lot of the lyrics to this album and they're, honestly, pretty shitty. I really like the emotional conviction of his voice and the intent of his words, but dude... really? "Ender of life?" Is "ender" even a legitimate word (in the way he uses it, that is)?
