Lyric discussion by Coow 

Cover art for Destroyer lyrics by Angels of Light

here's a good interview with Michael Gira actually: http://www.furious.com/perfect/michaelgira.html he's asked if the song is written about Kali and he says "Not really. The song was written during the build up to the war in Iraq, and it just struck me that the world was again, inevitably, convulsing with violence. I'm not passive, but it's inevitable. It's in all of us."
