Descending Upon Us Lyrics
This is our call: To see these idols fall
Drag them out into the light
Let fate devour whole
This is your fault
You fool of faith untrue
That we should face the grave with such a blackened view
Oh, (this pain is true) we see the damage done in the eyes of those, turning away.
Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason
Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve
Upon this ground
Hollow name of five encircled frame
Deception incarnate: Receive my vow of hate
Oh, (this pain is true) see how the blood will run in the eyes of those, turning away
We see the damage done
Resounding desecration
We see the damage done
Blackened insurrection
Suppress the pain of mind as long as you can bear
And feel the desperation clawing from within
They say the truth is found when Hell is at your doorstep
You'd better pray to see that time come to pass
Drag them out into the light
Let fate devour whole
This is your fault
You fool of faith untrue
That we should face the grave with such a blackened view
Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve
Upon this ground
Deception incarnate: Receive my vow of hate
Resounding desecration
We see the damage done
Blackened insurrection
And feel the desperation clawing from within
They say the truth is found when Hell is at your doorstep
You'd better pray to see that time come to pass

This song is a battle cry for those that stand opposed to the Godless views and actions of modern society. It’s about taking a look around you, seeing the damage that sin has done in our lives and the lives of those that we care for, and having the discretion to understand just how low we’ve sunk. The chorus warns those that stand opposed to Christ — that they too will plea for forgiveness when judgment falls upon this earth.
"Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. Fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side." - Psalm 97:2-3
Yeah I see that but it seems that the first set of lines referred to that of hypocrites and blasphemers, "This is our call: To see these idols fall Drag them out into the light Let fate devour whole This is your fault You fool of faith untrue That we should face the grave with such a blackened view" Some people who call and believe themselves to be Christian can also fall into this category because they denied to lose their earthly nature, thus denying salvation and redemption. "Oh, (this pain is true) we see the damage done in the eyes of those, turning away." It seems to refer...

"Oh, (this pain is true) we see the damage done in the eyes of those, turning away." It seems to refer to our neighbors who can affect others' walks with God and become stumbling block for themselves and everyone else.
"Save your plea for the day that we suffer the wake of this treason Rain like fire descending upon us in holy resolve Upon this ground" The hypocrites or blasphemers fail to realize the consequences of their sin and try to seek forgiveness too late and only find retribution. "Hollow name of five encircled frame Deception incarnate: Receive my vow of hate" An obvious allusion to the upside-down pentagram used as the devil's symbol in satanic practices, which God will not tolerate. "Oh, (this pain is true) see how the blood will run in the eyes of those, turning away" The subtle change in chorus gives insight to...

"Oh, (this pain is true) see how the blood will run in the eyes of those, turning away" The subtle change in chorus gives insight to how the damage done can be long term indefinitely. "We see the damage done Resounding desecration We see the damage done Blackened insurrection" Evil cannot escape from the sight of the righteous. "Suppress the pain of mind as long as you can bear And feel the desperation clawing from within They say the truth is found when Hell is at your doorstep You'd better pray to see that time come to pass" You better heed the Bible's warnings about sin and repent before you meet your inevitable death, because you'll never know when it happens.
