Bloodhail Lyrics
I feel the top of the room come off,
kill everybody there
and I'm watching all the stars burn out,
trying to pretend that I care
But I didn't,
(no-one ever does)
and I won't,
(no-one ever will)
Can't you see it's all flown out of my hands
and our clothes (are all too often ripped)
and our teeth (are all too often gnashed)
and it lasts as long as it possibly can
but I just don't
I just don't accept this
'cause I just don't accept this at all
and I just don't
but I just don't accept this
'cause I just don't accept this at all
and I just don't
and I just don't accept this
'cause I just don't accept this at all
and I just don't
and I just don't accept this
'cause I just don't accept this at all
Faces sweaty, arms and legs,
what a glorious set of stairs we make [x3]
Faces sweaty, arms and legs,
We kill everyone with
Arrowheads [x75]
(Thank god that's over)
I feel the top of the room come off,
kill everybody there
and I'm watching all the stars burn out,
trying to pretend that I care
But I didn't, no-one ever does,
and I won't, no-one ever will
Can't you see it's all flown out of my hands
and our clothes (are all too often ripped)
and our teeth (are all too often gnashed)
and it lasts as long as it possibly can
kill everybody there
and I'm watching all the stars burn out,
trying to pretend that I care
(no-one ever does)
and I won't,
(no-one ever will)
and our clothes (are all too often ripped)
and our teeth (are all too often gnashed)
and it lasts as long as it possibly can
I just don't accept this
'cause I just don't accept this at all
but I just don't accept this
'cause I just don't accept this at all
and I just don't accept this
'cause I just don't accept this at all
and I just don't accept this
'cause I just don't accept this at all
what a glorious set of stairs we make [x3]
We kill everyone with
Arrowheads [x75]
(Thank god that's over)
kill everybody there
and I'm watching all the stars burn out,
trying to pretend that I care
and I won't, no-one ever will
and our clothes (are all too often ripped)
and our teeth (are all too often gnashed)
and it lasts as long as it possibly can

The narrator is expressing his extreme apathy at the destruction and death occuring all around him, while trying to muster some empathy for it all, but only being able to “pretend to care".
"..but I didn't, no one ever does, and I won't, no one ever will." That's just what it sounds like to me and I think that makes more sense. Just a suggestion.
From reading the book that came with the record I'm pretty sure this is about "The Great Hunter" building a staircase out of bodies towards the heavens and then killing God with a bow and arrow(s)
hey, what's the great hunter and where can i read more about it?

comes with the PDF/book that comes with the album. You can find a download probably, just Google "On An Obscure Text pdf"

I think this is an expression of disgust at the behavior of humans. Disbelief, perhaps, at how easily people are willing to escalate to violence.
Quite the opposite actually.

this song is not only about depression, but about the putrid social environment we are living; apathy, egoism. by listening to the lyrics i can sure tell whoever wrote this stopped one day to think, "why do i still try?", considering no one else seems to care or worry about having a decent behavior toward others, nor the events that affects us as a whole. you feel like a stone against a strong, unstoppable flowing river.
there's no much to explain about the lyrics that encompass depression as it's pretty explicit. easier to understand if you've been there. having a mess in front of you and being unable to organize it, as it just grows and grows without giving you the chance to make a move. it lasts as long as it possibly can. you can't help but feeling it's really gotten out of your hands.
i personally long for this to end, but not by dying. i want to be happy and live this chance i've been given. it's just as hard as you can think
@cristiansolano never agreed more I love your reflection on this!

easily one of the best track from their first cd, the sound texture and the dynamic of this song is superb. was looking for the lyrics for this album for a while now, wish there were more lyrics uploaded here.
i'll upload the rest of the lyrics soon. i was lucky enough to get one of the first cds+booklet when it came out.. now it's sold out but you can get the digital version + pdf version booklet for just 5 bucks.
one of my favorite tracks from the 1st cd also.
I'm listening to this for the first time right now...it's beautiful.
absolute perfection.
I agree with smackeythefrog; this song is perfect.
