This is a reckoning,
A cliched cut of lying tongue
Revenge never goes out of style
Gorilla honing trigger finger that makes gorilla man
Ingrained, there's hate within us all
Spiraling I've lost my footing once again
I'm flailing in a tantrum of disgust!
When life holds nothing sacred,
When the loveless turn to loathe
We'll witness this final threatened pose
Oh mother war,
I sleep in your arms tonight
I'm burning, I'm burning for your love
This juggarnaut of bronze and alcohol
Machines of vengeance now are born
Of vengeance we are born
To our graves these grudges shall be sworn
Behold the death of emotions never mourned
We'll die before we crawl
Twisted ministers of death, praying for a bullet
Hail, gorilla suffocate gorilla, maim
An education in howling
Ministers of death, we'll be praying
Praying for this bullet, hail
Gorilla suffocate
Gorilla maim
An education in complete misanthropy
A cliched cut of lying tongue
Revenge never goes out of style
Gorilla honing trigger finger that makes gorilla man
Ingrained, there's hate within us all
Spiraling I've lost my footing once again
I'm flailing in a tantrum of disgust!
When life holds nothing sacred,
When the loveless turn to loathe
We'll witness this final threatened pose
Oh mother war,
I sleep in your arms tonight
I'm burning, I'm burning for your love
This juggarnaut of bronze and alcohol
Machines of vengeance now are born
Of vengeance we are born
To our graves these grudges shall be sworn
Behold the death of emotions never mourned
We'll die before we crawl
Twisted ministers of death, praying for a bullet
Hail, gorilla suffocate gorilla, maim
An education in howling
Ministers of death, we'll be praying
Praying for this bullet, hail
Gorilla suffocate
Gorilla maim
An education in complete misanthropy

And he probably believed it was Rape because on Limewire there are many files named Statutory Rape.
But it should be changed.
The title 'statory ape' could refer to gorila warfare and how terorists and polotics are slowly fucking us all over... hense 'statutory rape'. well... thats what i get from the lyrics, i may be wrong... anyone else wanna help me out on this?
ANyway yeah who ever said this was an anti-war song go play on traffic your dumb. Do you people know what Band this is and what the hell they stand for?!?!? again half of you people are retarded!
So before you feel like going about and judging everyone else here, go fuck yourself.
This song is about the hitler youth in Germany. The Hitler's youth were refered to as Ape's because of their bushy eye brows and dominant brow bones. If you've ever noticed, germans typically have more dominant eye brow bone structures. This is where the Ape part comes into play, the rest of the song is very self explanitory if you just think about it in this mind frame.
why do you think they have an ape mascot?
Personally, I think its meanings is more about the indoctrination of youth to be warmongers. Gorilla honing trigger finger that makes gorilla man. Although I generally support troops simply because they kill shit, I also see how silly it is that so many during and afterward define themselves as that killer. That's what makes them 'men'.
Statutory rape is when you bang a youngun' so, even though soldiers are supposed to be at least 18, that's still very young, and so many lose their humanity from of it; the young are mindfucked to become apes.
No idea if that's what he meant but that's what I think.
Ingrained, there's hate within us all
Oh mother war,
I sleep in your arms tonight
I'm burning, I'm burning for your love
Its obviously an anti-war song out of its overall statement.
It's one of the key metaphors in the song.
And it is "Statutory Ape" whoever the hell barabbas is.
