Behemoth Lyrics

Cover art for Behemoth lyrics by Static-X

I think this song is about some kind of war or nuclear disaster, he speaks of a horror scene, a pile up, the deformed monsters (radiation, i think) detonating the fusion (as in a hydrogen bomb which fuses hydrogen into helium releasing vast amounts of thermal energy, or in other words, an H-Bomb blast)... smoking, choking, blocking etc... since nukes' dust blocks out the sun and is not breatheable. Get louder, get higher, get true to form, behemoth: sounds like an explosion getting bigger and louder until it comes to destructive fruition. "Exterminate it calculate it, ricochet, smart bullet": sounds like the targeting and detonation of a ballistic missile (ricochet: because ballistic missiles, which nukes are a type of, arc out into space in a hyperbola before seeking their target, which to the target would seem to come from straight above, smart bullet: nukes obviously have advanced tracking and targeting capabilities) and lastly, the name behemoth refers to something big and/or cumbersome, which both nuclear weapons and their devastating explosions definitely are. As for the rest of the lyrics: wrecking, dragging, intensity, it's hard to see etc... go along with this theory. So yeah, that's what i think it's about.
