Death from Above Lyrics
a little hunger
a little wonder of
death from above
death from above
oh mary mary
what are we askin of
death from above
yes love im sinkin
i wonder just how far
what was i thinkin
of when i fell apart
i see the moon move
cover me under the spell
i see the few souls
cover me hungry and cold
i know the first thing
running up under your path
i know this can't last
death from above
shoot here comes
death from above
a little reject
a simple conjure of
death from above
you rock n rollers
you sudden victims of
death from above
oh death from above
yes love im sinkin
i hunger where you are
whats left but notice
to notice just how far
i see the moon light
cover me under the spell
i see the few souls
beggin bury us now
i know the valleys
running up under my path
i know the (spare leaves ?)
death from above
oh here comes death from above
oh lord im sinking
i just dont know how far
its death from above
yes love im sinking
i hunger where you are
death from above
death from above
yes lord im thinking of
death from above
yes lord im thinking of
death from above
a little wonder of
death from above
what are we askin of
death from above
i wonder just how far
what was i thinkin
of when i fell apart
cover me under the spell
i see the few souls
cover me hungry and cold
running up under your path
i know this can't last
death from above
death from above
a simple conjure of
death from above
you sudden victims of
death from above
i hunger where you are
whats left but notice
to notice just how far
cover me under the spell
i see the few souls
beggin bury us now
running up under my path
i know the (spare leaves ?)
death from above
i just dont know how far
its death from above
i hunger where you are
death from above
death from above
death from above

Nobody listens to this band anymore. At least, not crucially. Not the way we used to. It's the signs of the times. I come here as an old fan jaded by this creepy, disgusting, new SP that has no relation to the old band.
All popular music now has to bow down and sell out to the satanic order, that is, freemasons. You'll see it a lot in rap music, a bit less in rock music but rock is making a more popular comeback, thus you'll see it more in rock too. All seeing eyes, pyramids, snakes, artists making diamond shapes, diamond and pyramid light shows, etc etc.
It's well known among people who have studied Billy's history that he is now a freemason and has sold his band to satan. Thus, the records for the last 10 years that have been draped in odd cryptic meanderings are actually 100% crystal clear once you view it in the lens of freemasonry.
Zeitgeist was a precursor to the REALLY weird stuff, but there's samples of BC's gradual decline here. I think he's stating what he's seen, perhaps he hasn't done the deed in blood yet, but the document is on the table.
"a little hunger a little wonder of death from above"
--- "A little hunger, a little wonder" is the soul searching for acceptance and fame in the public eye. "Death from Above" is referencing selling your soul to the prince of the air, i.e. satan. Put the two together, you're selling your soul for public fame.
oh mary mary what are we askin of death from above
--- BC knows it's dangerous and sees it happening, has seen it happen, and maybe has experienced it at this point. His cry to "Mary" no matter how silly, is still his soul searching for the right answers amidst all the wrong ones in front of him.
yes lord im sinkin i wonder just how far what was i thinkin of when i fell apart
--- Here, he's either planning on doing the deed in blood or has already agreed to it. Seeing your band disintegrate and having to climb that mountain again gets you pretty desperate I imagine.
i see the moon move cover me under the spell
--- he's seeing weird things (remember his shapeshifter story?), he's either asking God or satan to "cover" him "under a spell".
shoot here comes death from above
---- perhaps he gave in here
a little reject a simple conjure of death from above ---- the devil was the reject from heaven, which conjured/gave birth to this "death from above" movement
you rock n rollers you sudden victims of death from above
--- here it comes full circle, this is clear as day
yes lord im sinkin i hunger where you are whats left but notice to notice just how far
--- BC is either talking to Jesus or to satan. Depending on who he's referring to as lord. He either longs to be in the position of satan who is more powerful than humans but less powerful than God; or longs to be holy and righteous with God.
i see the few souls beggin bury us now ---- these "rock n' rollers" have done the deed and they've made a mistake
i know the valleys running up under my path i know the sparrow leaves death from above --- He knows it's gonna be uphill to restart this band, does he sell his soul?
If you're thinking this is far fetched, I don't blame you. In 2007, it'd be considered lunacy to write this out. But now, with the world essentially plunged into darkness and deception, is it really that far fetched?
Open your eyes, dear ones.
im not quite sure abou the meaning but i like the electrice feel to it (especilly the keyboard)
that one line might be "i know despair leaves"
Possbility: I know this rallies?
Oh, also.... I'm positive it's "Shoo, here comes death from above"... (not "shoot, here comes") which is, i think, one of the best lyrics in the song.
I think this song is about losing something and blaming it on god...
Or having something and being an asshole then losing something because of god.
Could this song be about a doomed love in a time when terrorism, war, and hatred flourish. He falls in love and then "here comes death from above".
