World Painted Blood Lyrics

Disease spreading death
Entire population dies
Dead before you're born
Massive suicide
Vicious game of fear
It's all extermination now
Poison in your veins
Global genocide
Slaughter governs law
The apocalypse begins
Pain becomes the norm
Seeking homicide
Beware the coming storm
That starts illuminating fires
God is laughing hard
Man has gone insane

World painted blood
No sanctuary
World painted blood
No sanctuary

Tip the human scale
Follow revelations plan
It must come to pass
Secret shadows lie
Blue print haunting dreams
In which manipulation wins
Speak no hidden fears
Religion neutralized
Emerged from the dark
Sadist mercenary ride
Realm of this world
Godless messengers
Sickless, mindless hate
Becoming evolution's cure
Planets usher in alignment
God has died

World painted blood
No sanctuary
World painted blood
No sanctuary

God send death, watch it bleed, justified
Manufactured lives born in hell
Angels fall, wings on fire, crucified
Terrorizing man, burn the world
Reflecting eyes, sickle swings, wave of blood
Suicidal mind from the start
Endless pain, open wounds, slit the throat
Radiation child seeks the throne

Strafing down demigods certain death
Coming from the stars, lord of all
Dark rift rise, flourish life, perish man
We destroy ourselves, cease to live
Children's blood feed the dead sea of flesh
Catastrophic fall rest in hell
Flaming corpse, screaming eyes, watch it die
Walk among the dead, pick your grave

[x4]
Like a disease spreading death
Erasing your existence

Satan's hand begins the end
And frees the world forever
Gomorrah's dream to live in sin
Has reached its critical mass
Man himself has become God
And laughs at his destruction
In which we trust a secret government
Is now in total collapse

Disease spreading death
Entire population dies
Dead before you're born
Massive suicide
Vicious game of fear
It's all extermination now
Poison in your veins
Global genocide
Slaughter governs law
The apocalypse begins
Pain becomes the norm
Seeking homicide
Beware the coming storm
That starts illuminating fires
God is laughing hard
Man has gone insane

World painted blood
No sanctuary
World painted blood
No sanctuary

Signs of disease, rivers red, blood in ice, plague
Signs of disease, rivers red, blood in ice, plague
Signs of disease, rivers red, blood
Welcoming our death

This is basically a remake of South of Heaven, as it's also about if the world went to hell (the apocalypse, ect.)

I'd not state it as fact but this song reminds me of the atrocities that occurred in Jonestown.

"Disease spreading death Entire population dies"

Jim Jones preaching to his followers. The end result.

"Dead before you're born Massive suicide"

Could be the rhetoric he sold to his followers, on the lines of "you have to die in dignity in order to be free and become born into an everlasting life" and massive suicide was what he wanted to achieve.

"Vicious game of fear It's all extermination now"

Fear was a tool that...

He literally says what the song is about, "tip the human scale follow revelations plan" it's about revelation and judgement day and the end of days, and lays out everything told in the book of revelation, such as an apocalyptic disease "disease spreading death entire population dies" fire coming from the heavens "beware the coming storm that starts illuminating fires" manipulation of man by evil "blue print haunting dreams in which manipulation wins" the 4 horsemen "emerged from the dark sadist mercanary ride realm of this world godless messengers" planetary alignment "planets usher in alignment" revelation often is referred to as wings "wings of fire" theres more references but i am getting lazy,the song is about revelation and is a pretty high ranking song, happy easter
