All That We Destroy Lyrics

Motherless child
Dance upon the corpse
On a mid winters night
Innocent beast in a blood feast
Smiling in delight
Insatiable hunger
Empty souls unbound
Descend as we bring down the sky

Is all we see
Or what it seems
But a dream within a dream
A paradise becomes the vice
Voiceless echoes free
Desires, pleasure entice
Fantasy by twilight
Caressed this dead flesh with eternal flame

All that we destroy
By ignorance and pride
All that we destroy
In voracity, denial

Wrath of man
Final plan
Kings among a gods
Crumbling towers, darkest hours
Kneel before death
Accept the fall
Harmonious in madness
Melancholy, sadness
Our cold hearts be a pointless life

All that we destroy
By ignorance and pride
All that we destroy
In voracity, denial

All who have come to conquer
All who shall fall
Stand above and wonder
Is this the end of it all

All that we destroy
By ignorance and pride
All that we destroy
Simple-minded man defiled and forsaken
By ignorance and pride
All that we destroy
Caress the dead world, divine

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Generally speaking, I believe the song delves into the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences of our destructive tendencies. Through vivid imagery, it explores themes of ignorance, pride, and the inevitable downfall that follows, serving as a cautionary tale, reminding us to reflect on our actions and their impact on ourselves and the world around us.
