Down From The Sky Lyrics
A chasm grows
In the cavity of serpentine teeth
Hunger pangs strike
For the sweet feast of innocent blood
Of innocent bloodshed
Now here we go
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind
Growing fat on the throne of an empire
Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire
I've opened up my eyes
Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose God wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky
The gaping wounds
Hemorrhaging the blood from which they feast
Eat us alive
Consume to feed a hunger with no
A hunger with no end
Let's fucking go
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind
Growing fat on the throne of an empire
Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire
I've opened up my eyes
Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose God wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky
This battle's not the same which they have led us to believe
A synthesis of propaganda, terror, and deceit
We are the cattle
They the slaughter
Our meat: Gasoline
They pump us through the machine's valves
To cleanse the world's "disease"
We are the ammunition
That will cause all life to cease
Annihilate
All those who stand in their way
Obliterate
They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky
Solo: Matt
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind
Solo: Corey
Growing fat on the throne of an empire
Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire
I've opened up my eyes
Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose god wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky
Annihilate
All those who stand in their way
Obliterate
They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky
In the cavity of serpentine teeth
Hunger pangs strike
For the sweet feast of innocent blood
Of innocent bloodshed
Now here we go
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind
Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire
Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose God wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky
Hemorrhaging the blood from which they feast
Eat us alive
Consume to feed a hunger with no
A hunger with no end
Let's fucking go
The vampires feed off the wars of mankind
Tyrant rules with the threat of a great fire
Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose God wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky
A synthesis of propaganda, terror, and deceit

Growing fat on the throne of an empire

Seen the world for what it's worth
Tears rain down from the sky
They'll blow it all to bits
To prove whose god wields all the power
Fire rains down from the sky
All those who stand in their way
Obliterate
They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky

its a political/religious song full stop. that religion is used as the key 2 start global wars. look at wat happen the ppl of the jewish faith during world war 2. religion is the bringer of war
Sonic Raider... jesus everytime your right on
This song has some rad guitaring! Whilst there does seem to be some mention of religion "To prove whose God wields all the power", I think it is mostly about society being falsely led to believe what governments want them to.
Just my two cents (dbro46) - you can blame Jesus all you want for wars but his word instructed peace and love towards one another. Horrible things were done by "christians" during the crusades but this in reaction to (if I remember correctly) losing land to Muslim invaders (the crusades did not even manage to reclaim this back) and caused by religious leaders abusing their political power and telling soldiers that they would be forgiven of all sin if they fought.
Sure, religion can give reason to go to war for some, but so can food, freedom and human equality. You don't really hear people bitching about these though do you?
The vampires being the American or even any goverment. Taking advantage and profiting from the lives and blood of the soldiers lost in war.
This song means even more now after the Deaths at Fort Hood
This song is about holocaust and drop of atom bombs (nuclear warfare).
Trivium's views of George W. Bush's methods of handling the war that we are fighting right now in the Middle East
lol damn you sure answered that really quick.
anyways bad ass fuckin song
Think this is how people use religion to justify their evil actions. There will probably be a damn Jihad some time in the future. The problem is with our technology with one nuke "They'll blow it all to bits To prove whose God wields all the power." It's sad because of someone's stupid faith we are all gonna have to pay.
i agree that religion is some of the problems, but wars are usualyy if never started for religious reasons, maybe the islamofascists, but if you'll notice matt states the line about gasoline. wars are started for power, now oil, energy, for the sake of keeping this empire going. ti aprreciate your opinion and i agree somewhat

Islamofascists? the definition of Fascism is-A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

Sure the Islamic radical groups(Taliban,Hamas,Al Qaeda,ect...)use terror and nationalism, but Fascist gov. are run by wealthy business men and also have complete economic control over their country(which Islamic radical groups don't)

also I've always thought this song was about the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,"For the sweet feast of innocent blood", "Tears rain down from the sky They'll blow it all to bits...Fire rains down from the sky",and "Annihilate All those who stand in their way Obliterate They'll rain their holocaust down from the sky" all sound, to me atleast, like they are talking about the innocent people who died from the atom bombs
I think there's nothing about religion. It's about the industry and the oil companies waging wars
Oops, rambled on a bit there.......... Great song though!
