Sequoia Throne Lyrics

Did you come here to kill, or did you come here to die?
And did you really think that spaceships would descend from the sky?

Bending light and beaming forth across space-time
Still scared in the reflection of our oil black eyes
Who stalks us like a predator
Like our movies imply

They're not the ones who've come to kill us
Come to fill us full of lead
They're not the ones who hate us
And they are not the ones who mutilate our animals

Or travel to the stars; they’re not the ones who cause us harm (We Are)

We are! We are! We are!
We are still 'live and cold-blooded
We feel nothing! / We will not be!
We are still 'live and cold-blooded
We feel nothing! / We will not be!

Hellbent on heaven(X4)

While our righteous men are stuffing corpses full of shit and faith!
Aaaaahhhhhh...

We are, we are, we are still 'live
We are, we are, we are still 'live
We are, we are, we are
Still alive!

They're not the ones who cause us harm
We are, we are
(did you come here to kill? Did you come here to die?)
We are still 'live and cold blood
We are still 'live and cold blood
We feel...
We feel...nothing!

Stuffing corpses full of shit and faith
As they bloviate about a future beyond the moon
To bring about another planet's doom
To discover peaceful lives
And beat a war-drum to it's tune
Unless my prayers are answered...
Our end is coming...soon!

You guys are silly. This song is about Star Trek and Kirks adventures

The first 'commotion' kind of sounds like 'pollution'

I think this song somehow equates "getting away/freeing yourself" to the modern generation.

Cover art for Sequoia Throne lyrics by Protest the Hero

Am I crazy to think this about how we see evil all around us (in this case, thinking aliens will come here to kill us/enslave us) when really we already do this, and that humans are the true evil to our own race.

Cover art for Sequoia Throne lyrics by Protest the Hero

I think I hear something along the lines of "To see who's scared in the reflection of the royal[or 'loyal'] black gods, to a star that's like[or 'not'] a planet or like a moving (???)"

And where you and Thevoicedude put "I left my past religion, our end is coming soon" I think it says "Unless my prayers are answered , our end is coming soon" If it deals with the Heaven's Gate cult, I think it would make more sense with what I put, in the sense that their prayers weren't answered, so they killed themselves.

Yeah man, it does make more sense, good call.

Thanks guys. This is kind of tough, I'll leave it how it is now. I didn't really get that it was about a space cult.

It might not be/probably isn't, but there's really no telling until the album is released and the official lyrics are submitted.

Cover art for Sequoia Throne lyrics by Protest the Hero

are u sure the deep screaming part couldnt be (I will not be!)...i found it somewhere else, and I think that those could be right

Cover art for Sequoia Throne lyrics by Protest the Hero

At 3:00 it's definitely "We at war, drawn to its tune." Not "drawn to its due."

no it's definitely "and beat a war-drum to it's tune

Cover art for Sequoia Throne lyrics by Protest the Hero

This song seems considerably more difficult to decipher than "Bloodmeat". Maybe you should have waited until the album came out. Some of the lyrics here don't even make sense; that doesn't sound like Arif's style. But from what I can make out, it does seem to be about the Heaven's Gate cult.
