This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
It's time,
Go get the gun,
The one your family's hiding from.
Sleeping in the dresser drawer,
Do pull its trigger I implore,
Kill your parents then yourself,
Push your life right off the shelf.
Die for metal,
Leave this hell,
Take this oath of blasphemation.
When asked to kill you won't or will.
Casting aside the weak when lord belial your name,
He calls conquer or wallow in defeat.
Blood in the ink.
The unholy writ on contract for your soul,
Of your feeble peasant minds we have control.
We yank these hidden strings,
The ones that make the razors go,
We're canceling your favorite show.
We've pulled the plug,
We've closed the curtain.
Drinketh deep now this cup of poison,
And drag a blade right through your veins.
Slaughtering every soul around you of mortality,
You'll take the reigns,
You've broken your bones in violent ritual.
Tattooed black your flesh in our name,
We ask you now to wield the razor at our command,
You'll worship pain.
Calligraphy in crimson ink,
Thick and dark each stroke.
I hereby swear my life to him,
Here is the sacred parchment,
Now part your skin and sign below.
When asked to kill you won't or will.
Casting aside the weak when lord belial your name,
He calls conquer or wallow in defeat,
Our blood is Satan's blood,
Blood in the ink.
Drinketh deep now this cup of poison,
And drag a blade right through your veins.
Slaughtering every soul around you of mortality,
You'll take the reigns,
You've broken your bones in violent ritual.
Tattooed black your flesh in our name,
We ask you now to wield the razor at our command,
Let your life drain.
Go get the gun,
The one your family's hiding from.
Sleeping in the dresser drawer,
Do pull its trigger I implore,
Kill your parents then yourself,
Push your life right off the shelf.
Die for metal,
Leave this hell,
Take this oath of blasphemation.
When asked to kill you won't or will.
Casting aside the weak when lord belial your name,
He calls conquer or wallow in defeat.
Blood in the ink.
The unholy writ on contract for your soul,
Of your feeble peasant minds we have control.
We yank these hidden strings,
The ones that make the razors go,
We're canceling your favorite show.
We've pulled the plug,
We've closed the curtain.
Drinketh deep now this cup of poison,
And drag a blade right through your veins.
Slaughtering every soul around you of mortality,
You'll take the reigns,
You've broken your bones in violent ritual.
Tattooed black your flesh in our name,
We ask you now to wield the razor at our command,
You'll worship pain.
Calligraphy in crimson ink,
Thick and dark each stroke.
I hereby swear my life to him,
Here is the sacred parchment,

When asked to kill you won't or will.
Casting aside the weak when lord belial your name,

Our blood is Satan's blood,
Blood in the ink.
Drinketh deep now this cup of poison,
And drag a blade right through your veins.
Slaughtering every soul around you of mortality,

You've broken your bones in violent ritual.
Tattooed black your flesh in our name,
We ask you now to wield the razor at our command,
Let your life drain.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I believe this song's about how impressionable teenagers are to music and how they'll listen to anything their favorite band says in their lyrics. Mainly due to the "Die for metal" line, along with lines about getting tattoos in their name and such.
I would have to agree with you there. Love the satire this song invokes.
Alot of these lyrics are incorrect. I don't know if they came from the book or not, if so they're most likely typo'd. After listening to the intro multiple times over, I've determined this is what is said, haven't gone through the rest yet, but the song seems to be a play against parents and media attacking metal music and religious beliefs about teen suicides and killing sprees.
It's time go get the gun The one this family's hiding from Sleeping in the dresser drawer Do pull this trigger I implore Shoot your parents then yourself Push your life right off the shelf Die for metal leave this Hell Take this oath of blasphemation When asked to kill You won't or will Casting aside the weak When lord Belail Your name He calls Conquer or wallow in defeat Blood in the ink!
eh, "the one your family's hiding from"<br /> <br /> This song is obviously about obeying commands from satan, and signing away your life to his will. Definitely disgusting lyrics.
Actually, it's about Belial, the brother to Satan, not Satan himself. But most uptight christian families believe that Metal music is the music of Satan and the Devil, and blame it for the cause of many wrong doings in our society, such as family homicides, suicides, murders, columbine sprees, etc. The lyrics are also quite invigorating, they definately capture the critism well. It's pretty much a big joke, you got to remember, alot of what BDM writes is based on past horror stories, and gruesome historical figures, as well as just out right for their love of metal music. Insighting a song that pokes fun at people blaming their style of music for suicides and riots is definately something they would do.
I definitely disagree. I think they are being completel sincere in their lyric writing.
They're not being sincere usually. Trevor said it himself.
"slaughtering every soul"
a nice nod towards At The Gates... appreciated. this whole fucking album is insane. the window... the raven... carbonized in cruciform... moonlight equilibrium... fuck, the whole fucking thing!
This is the most epic Black Dahlia song ever. Ritual is an amazing album.

Possibly inspired by the Amityville horror? Not the entire song of course, but parts of it.
This song induces creaming of the jeans every time. So fucking good live, I've seen them 7-8 times and every fucking show sounds like recording from the albums. Flawless, and hyphy as shit!
I absolutely love bands that try to make kids kill others/themselves; classic! A nice fuck you to the busybody parents that think metal causes evil in children; children are born that way.
Definately about making a contract with the devil as well as acts of homicide and suicide.... ""Suicide is the only way out"
