The Kinslayer (feat. Ike Vil) Lyrics
For whom the gun tolls
For whom the prey weeps
Bow before a war
Call it religion
Some wounds never heal
Some tears never will
Dry for the unkind
Cry for mankind
Even the dead cry
- Their only confort
Kill your friends, I don't care
Orchid kids, blinded stare
Need to understand
No need to forgive
No truth no sense left to be followed
"Facing this umbearable fear like meeting an old friend"
"Time to die, poor mates. You made me what I am"
"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way"
"Your praying is in vain. It'll all be over soon"
"Father help me, save me a place by your side!"
"There is no god
Our creed is but for yourselves"
"Not a hero unlees you die
Our species eat the wounded ones"
"Drunk with the blood of your victims
I do feel your pity-wanting pain,
Lust for fame, a deadly game"
"Run away with your impeccable kin!"
- Good wombs hath borne bad sons..."
Cursing, God, why?
Falling for every lie
Survivor's guilt
In us forevermore
15 candles
Redentores de este mundo
Dwell in hypocrisy:
"How were we supposed to know"
4 pink ones
9 blue ones
2 black ones
In memory of the redeemers 20.4.1999

As was said many times, it was mainly written for the Columbine shooting, but they do make some refrences to religion throughout.
I think all metalheads can empathize with the killers of Columbine, at least a little. There isn't one of us who hasn't been the subject of some sort of bullying by jocks. And there isn't one of who hasn't dreamed about some type of vengeance/revenge on them(deny it all you want), whether it's just telling them off, punching one, or something more grandiose, like what the Redeemers planned.
You blame this on jocks? Is your definition of jock someone who plays on a high school sports team? If so, then you need to grow up, stop blaming your inadequacy and lack of self-confidence on others, and for heaven's sake man, grow a pair. Because guess what? Jocks listen to metal too.

I just love this lyrics :) and I don't tend to like lyrics! I like how it's so different from other Nightwish lyrics. No wishes, angels, ocean or little boys.
"In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" "Your praying is in vain It'll all be over soon" "There is no god Our creed is but for ourselves" 15 candles-Redeemers of this world
I think that this song say that Religions of the world have not any value.
I don't like this lyric..
"Time to die, poor mates, You made me what I am!"
Time to die,if said time to leave will was better and shows the bad relationship with an old friend.
@evangelos1 Sorry but religion is about the worst thing that exists
@evangelos1 Sorry but religion is about the worst thing that exists
@evangelos1 It has brought no good too this world, only evil

This song is the best tribute to any school shooting to date. It's a cry to mankind, a complaint, and the dialogue (allegedly taken from actual words between students at the Columbine shooting) totally fits the song. The emotions in the singer's (Tarja Turunen) voice work really well with the heavy music. What I like most about this tribute is that it looks at it from both sides, instead of just the "good" side.
Tarja sounds like shes orgasming when she sings this live. Well, at least in the video of the Kinslayer live anyway.
And yes this song is about the Columbine shooting. The song actually ends after "How were we supposed to know" The candles part is just added as a tribute.
I really like this song and am grateful that there is such a song contributed to the Columbine shooting directly. Especially because it's for both sides as Kworb already said =)
An Emotional song. Shows the fear from the victims as the lines: Facing this umbearable fear like meeting an old friend" "Time to die, poor mates. You made me what I am" "In this world of a million religions everyone prays the same way" "Your praying is in vain. It'll all be over soon" "Father help me, save me a place by your side!" "There is no god Our creed is but for yourselves" "Not a hero unlees you die Our species eat the wounded ones" "Drunk with the blood of your victims I do feel your pity-wanting pain, Lust for fame, a deadly game" "Run away with your impeccable kin!"
Are quotes from what the victims and sinners said.
Man, this song is proof that classical instrumentation and vocals can make a song heavier, when done right.
"Time to die, poor mates. You made me what I am," fellow classmates bullied him creating a killer is what that implys.
