My Apocalypse Lyrics

Cover art for My Apocalypse lyrics by Metallica

So we cross that line into the crypt Total eclipse Suffer onto my apocalipse

That's the exact moment in which the kamikaze blows himself off the earth, taking a lot of people with him.

Desolating/Desecrating hail of fire

Maybe about the worship of violence, seen as a good resource, as a way of getting things done. But it's "desolating" and "desecrating", it just causes pain and suffering.

Crushing metal Ripping skin Tossing bodies, mannequins Spilling blood, bleeding gas

Mangled flesh Snapping spine Dripping bloody valentine Shatter face Spitting glass

A kinda graphic description of the massacre.

What makes me drift A little bit closer Dead man takes the steering wheel

What makes me know What time to cross over Forced to repeat until I feel

The kamikaze, perhaps, is amazed by his own blind determination to end his life and those of others in such a horribly mindless way.

Tyrants awaken My Apocalypse Demon awaken My Apocalypse Heaven awaken My Apocalypse Suffer forever My Apocalypse

Maybe about the political issues that breed this kind of violence, tyrants who feed people with hatred for other religious systems or ways of life, demons who represent pure evil, and heaven which is depicted as the last prize for the violence committed against enemies.
