Play God Lyrics
Dead starlight bleeds down on the Devil's nitrate
All the nerves of the patients bathe in shock and shame
Cause I'm the trigger that'll start this game
And the strike of the night will trash the skyline
And darken the marks I've put in your skin
'Cause I want to play God
With you
I want to rule it all
Rule you
The human cattle lick on the ethical nightsticks
All the tears of the victims run on cold cheeks' meat
Cause here's a future that'll feed on sheep
Let's play a game of two
I'll play God and you'll play you
Let's play a game tonight
I'll play Dark and you'll play Light
All the nerves of the patients bathe in shock and shame
Cause I'm the trigger that'll start this game
And darken the marks I've put in your skin
With you
I want to rule it all
Rule you
All the tears of the victims run on cold cheeks' meat
Cause here's a future that'll feed on sheep
I'll play God and you'll play you
Let's play a game tonight
I'll play Dark and you'll play Light

"Playing god" is a term to discribe to experiment with things that are thought to be nothing anyone should ever mess with and that could change the world dramaticaly, especially genetic manipulation of plants, animals and even humans. Ones again, like Blitzkrieg und Cyanide, this is a song of humanities search for power which most seem to try to find through harming and destroying others.
love this song! as for the meaning ... what he said ^^^^^^
totally agree with Neithan.. plus, could be a sex game? ^^
You guys all have good points about what you think it means, and anyone of you could be right.
My opinion, it's a protest video as funny as that sounds. "The human cattle lick on the ethical nightsticks All the tears of the victims run on cold cheeks' meat Cause here's a future that'll feed on sheep "
The video itself if you watch, has an "army" as well as jets flying around. There's quite a bit of symbolism that I can see.
I like Moo's answer tho - sex game :P
Its about S&M...if only. lol
I think it's about a sex game - love this song =D
Okay umm, first reply to neithan, It could be right, although, then it should not be compared to blitzkrieg, because blitzkrieg is actually just a pure sexual based song, so... And to kylia, I thought this was about the songs, not about how amazing Canada is(I have nothing against Canada, or America, jsut against holland, because that's where I live and it's dead boring soXD)
Okay meaning: It's definitely about a game, not yet a sex game, Just one sadistic dark torture game I guess, and that it's okay, because he plays God and all god does is justice. So it's also a bit about the ignorance of humanity, maybe especially christianity, since if someone dies they're more like, it was his time to go to God, and not like, Oh damn, we'll never see him again in this life. So it's a little game about pain, done by god, and we still follow him as sheep, well, not everyone, There are people who don't believe in god so... But thta's what i think
Theres no Offical video for this song. only a fan made one.
It's a song about God.
Actually it could be about careless use of excessive power like a cat toying with a mouse, but I think it also could be interpreted another way: "I'll play god and you'll play you" meaning we're both playing god side by side.

We're already playing god but for the most part simply by accident and ironically causing a mass extinction out of sheer stupidity, the theme of "All the Devil's Toys." I guess the way I see this song is people are capable of playing god in a manner that is really stupid or really intelligent.

'scuse me, an anti-american government protest song. they are swedish and actually live in a "real" democratic country, unlike the soon to be / already mostly there fascist nation of america.
like my country, canada, we get all the news in the world and have less propaganda within our information sources (media - news).
within america, if you watch some of the news programs then go watch news on the net from other countries other then, say, the UK (another fascist nation), you will see how incredibly scary the truth is....
