Iconoclast

Iconoclasm is the deliberate destruction of religious artifacts. However the race of machines are described as Iconoclasts towards all of humanity and it's beliefs. The song is most likely from the perspective of the machines as they begin to rise against humans. Or it could be from both perspectives.

Now the important stuff: THIS SONG IS EPIC! It begins with kind of a new "Oculus Ex Inferni" but it's such an epic battle song. That chorus slowly becomes very addictive. Great title track and way to start the album

Lyrics for this song remind me a lot of the Mass Effect series. Not a perfect correlation, obviously, but some of it is pretty close - the pre-chorus is basically the ME3 introduction. :D

I'd say this song is really the taking off point of the album; it could be interpreted from either side.

The chorus seems to be the humans rallying to take on the robots, and the stanza before that (Infernal machines arise, flesh and steel collide) is the start of this epic battle. Human v robot. Intelligence v AI.

The next stanza is more into the battle, as it heats up, the "armored mounts" could be either the robots' or the humans' mounts covered in protective armor. "Striking with spear of hate; at the heart where evil reigns" is pretty obvious that the humans despise these robots, or vice versa, and they look to take out the very origin of it.

The next stanza seems to lend victory to the humans, but again everything in these lyrics is very open-sided so it could be interpreted from either side.

The line "synthetic resurrection" makes me think that this is not the first, or only, battle humans will fight against these robots; that perhaps they have a way of either creating more robots or resurrecting the ones they've already fought.
