Reign In Madness Lyrics
Scorn the Omen - Architects of Deciet
Pulverized within the Jaws of Defeat
Our ruin engineered, we've reached the Gates of Fear
Forging vengeance in the City of Doom
Ripping Death from Sin's unholy womb
The riders on the storm, cursed the day they're born
We were warned...
Strike them down - Strike with power
Kill them all from shore to shore
We destroy - We devour
We command the vicious Dogs of War
Treads of Iron crush the skulls of the damned
Stench of burning flesh covers the land
Rising from the screams - a godless War Machine
Execution - Fire scorches the Sky
Crimson Horseman runs with Genocide
As the Sea turns Red, we raise the Living Dead
Or so it's said...
Strike them down - Strike with power
Kill them all from shore to shore
We destroy - We devour
We command the vicious Dogs of War
Bow your heads and abandon hope
We're the Gods of Pain
Raise your hands if you'll join with us
And let the madness reign
Forsaken and forgotten
Condemned - hopeless and alone
The sickened and the rotten
Infect everything you've ever known
War hammer of disaster
Crush every living head
Surrender to the masters
The brainwashed Electric Living Dead
There's no escaping
The more I learn, the less I know
I must be crazy
I'm giving in, I'm letting go
If all the world's a stage,
It's just a masquerade of crazies
Hit the lights and start the show...
Bow your heads and abandon hope
We're the Gods of Pain
Raise your hands if you'll join with us
And let the madness reign
Bow your heads and abandon hope
We're the Gods of Pain
Raise your hands if you'll join with us
And let the madness reign
Pulverized within the Jaws of Defeat
Our ruin engineered, we've reached the Gates of Fear
Ripping Death from Sin's unholy womb
The riders on the storm, cursed the day they're born
We were warned...
Kill them all from shore to shore
We destroy - We devour
We command the vicious Dogs of War
Stench of burning flesh covers the land
Rising from the screams - a godless War Machine
Crimson Horseman runs with Genocide
As the Sea turns Red, we raise the Living Dead
Or so it's said...
Kill them all from shore to shore
We destroy - We devour
We command the vicious Dogs of War
We're the Gods of Pain
Raise your hands if you'll join with us
And let the madness reign
Condemned - hopeless and alone
The sickened and the rotten
Infect everything you've ever known
Crush every living head
Surrender to the masters
The brainwashed Electric Living Dead
The more I learn, the less I know
I must be crazy
I'm giving in, I'm letting go
It's just a masquerade of crazies
Hit the lights and start the show...
We're the Gods of Pain
Raise your hands if you'll join with us
And let the madness reign
We're the Gods of Pain
Raise your hands if you'll join with us
And let the madness reign

My theory on this is that it this song is very similar to Iconoclast, as both follow the same concept(machines overtaking the humans) and this songs makes the circle complete. On an interesting note, I believe that all of the capitalized "phrases"(at least most of them) are names of machines or robots. E.g. "Crimson Horseman", "Genocide", "Omen", "Architects of Deciet" etc. I mean these words or phrases are capitalized in the lyric booklet that was included with the album and this is the onyl logical assumption that I could make based on why this is like this. The only other song in which this capitilization also occurs as frequently as in this song is in Iconoclast(the ties to which I just explained).
Your logic is completely valid vbdude; very basic grammar rules taught to us in elementary school state that proper nouns are always capitalized, i.e. Statue of Liberty, etc. Names of people, places, historic landmarks (Washington Monument), etc.

It could also just be a stylization of the album lyrics/artwork that bands do. I've seen albums where there are no real 'proper nouns' in this respect, but alot of the stuff is capitalized just to look either symmetrical with the rest of the words, or thats just the font they chose to use.

At first I thought it was stylization too but the capitalization seems to be very specific and thought out, as msot songs do not contain any capitalized lyrics, the only other songs that has a significant number of capitalized words is Iconoclast, hence why I mentioned that the two seems to be very similar, i.e. opening-ending.

Well thats my 2 cents, sorry I just felt the need to justify my vie again but your view of random stylization is just as valid, after all bands such as Sym X like to hide certain themes in their lyrics. Pure genuis really :)

Another fantastic song. This song seems to be from the viewpoint of the robots, and as mentioned by the original poster all of the capitalized words are either places, or the names of the robots. It provides great insight into how these robots came to be, and what their ultimate goal is. For a synthetic breed of man, its interesting to see they possess the basic emotions of vengeance, hatred, and even anger.
