Yama's Messengers Lyrics
I'm scared to death when I see them arrive
Infected eyes red, staring at me
The time has come for retribution
Now they're counting my actions
The cries and shouts are confusing me
Falling in disgrace, I don't want to go now
And I am facing them, it seems they recognize me
It's too late for regrets
They're growing darker while approaching me, creeping
Prowling vultures in the sky
Devoured by a ravening beast
Raised, fallen from the dead
Endure the pain they're giving me slow
Flashes of life blurred by suffering
Distant reminder of funeral piles
Thousands of people dying
I'm taking back all the pain distributed
Through ages unconscious
My brain scattered, feed habitants of this cage
Consuming my heart
I've killed so many, I don't want to count
I spent a life raping the world
both far and near before you now I come, please help
creator, faultless one!
Infected eyes red, staring at me
The time has come for retribution
Now they're counting my actions
Falling in disgrace, I don't want to go now
And I am facing them, it seems they recognize me
It's too late for regrets
Prowling vultures in the sky
Devoured by a ravening beast
Raised, fallen from the dead
Flashes of life blurred by suffering
Distant reminder of funeral piles
Thousands of people dying
Through ages unconscious
My brain scattered, feed habitants of this cage
Consuming my heart
I spent a life raping the world
both far and near before you now I come, please help
creator, faultless one!

LockeXIII, you are close, but not quite right. Yama is the god of death in Vedic writings, and the messengers are his servants. This song is about a man dying and being sent to Naraka, the Hindu and Buddhist version of hell. In Naraka, a person is punished for a finite (all though long) amount of time until their sins are atoned for, or in the Bhuddist version, their soul gets purified.
I see, thanks for the heads up IamZanders... I'm not that familiar with Hindu or Buddhism. Very interesting. But my last sentence still stands: Bad ass song! lol.

sorry to state the obvious, but im pretty sure the messangers are demons
Seems to be about a man who has died and went to hell, now that he's being tortured by demons he regrets his life of sin and is calling out to God for help (please help, creator, faultless one!)
Bad ass song, and the main riff really conveys a sense of despair and hopelessness that fits the lyrics well
Who said metal didn't teach you anything :P
I first thought that perhaps yama was relating to the Japanese term "mountain" (was the first Kanji character I learned), and because of their Japanese related name (Gojira) but that was before I heard the song. Thanks for the wrap Zanders.
Love the tunes and the message!
Yama is god of death. his messengers are supposed to bring to yama. he counts the karma or actions and on basis of sins he is either sent to heaven or hell. and the man is now fear full cause he remember his every sins in his life on the edge of life
