Jealousy will crush you to the bones
Unless you open up and let it go
I've only seen too much of it
I'm bursting open while you set the tone
You ignored this fury too long, I explode
Bring back to life this anger, let it grow
Put aside mind traps and false beliefs
These heavy weights created pull you down
The mask you wear is falling
Try on and watch it fall
Hands down you feel the moment
Releasing out a lifetime
All prayers to these gods
While the tide is growing high
Will you make us stronger
When you strike us down?
Unless you open up and let it go
I've only seen too much of it
I'm bursting open while you set the tone
You ignored this fury too long, I explode
Bring back to life this anger, let it grow
Put aside mind traps and false beliefs
These heavy weights created pull you down
The mask you wear is falling
Try on and watch it fall
Hands down you feel the moment
Releasing out a lifetime
All prayers to these gods
While the tide is growing high
Will you make us stronger
When you strike us down?

Jealousy will crush you to the bones Unless you open up and let it go [rage-mosh-emote]
I've only seen too much of it I'm bursting open while you set the tone [he's moshing – you're straight, “Keeping up with the Joneses”, bourgeois – etc.]
You ignored this fury too long, I explode [you're a square – I rage. Society (religious institutions) suppressed our animal side too long - and it's coming to an end right now.]
Bring back to life this anger, let it grow [get in touch with your animalistic base self]
Put aside mind traps and false beliefs [morals, taboos, the feeling that headbanging is a bit to 1980s for you - etc.]
These heavy weights created pull you down [weights of the world.. morals, taboos, mortgages, etc.]
The mask you wear is falling Try on and watch it fall [try on, as in continue trying to fake bland civility, but it's no use, change will come]
Hands down you feel the moment [you're into it – hands down fact – especially after that last breakdown...!!]
Releasing out a lifetime [just like scream 'primal therapy' from the 60s]
All prayers to these gods [gods plural – the ancients – the current also being ancient – all of them together - all the prayers to all the gods over all time - were what I am doing now when moshing hard to this song - all those emotions at once]
While the tide is growing high [the tide of emotion?, or possibly change – in a post gods era?]
Will you make us stronger [Darwin, who killed the gods, invoked – will the gods abide to the modern logic?]
When you strike us down? [We die. The end.]
occupy... through and through... the only line that has any ambiguity to it on this front is the jealousy bit in the beginning, but it still makes sense... jealousy, as in the 99% looking at the 1% and wanting what they have
