Bless ’em With the Blade Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
Tear up the Bible, sacral survival
Heaven was betrayed, bless 'em with the blade
Cursed on arrival, savage and primal
Sinners and the maid, bless 'em with the blade
[Pre-Chorus]
Their cries for mercy came too late
[Chorus]
Bless 'em with the blade, with the blade
We attack without a warning
Bless 'em with the blade, with the blade
With no rest, we die for glory, God and fate
This time, we bless 'em with the blade
[Verse 2]
Break up the silence, wake up the violence
Ready for the raid, bless 'em with the blade
Fire the pyros, spread like a virus
End of all debate, bless 'em with the blade
[Pre-Chorus]
Before the night, they better have prayed
[Chorus]
Bless 'em with the blade, with the blade
We attack without a warning
Bless 'em with the blade, with the blade
With no rest, we die for glory, God and fate
[Bridge]
Hyperventilate
Bless 'em with the blade
Fight the renegade
For the sacred order
Excommunicate
Bless 'em with the blade
Whip and flagellate
At the heaven's border
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Wake on the wild side, break out of twilight
Pious and afraid, bless 'em with the blade
Ready for high life, dance on the sharp knife
Down the masquerade, bless 'em with the blade
[Pre-Chorus]
Before the night, they better pray
[Chorus]
Bless 'em with the blade, with the blade
We attack without a warning
Bless 'em with the blade, with the blade
With no rest, we die for glory, God and fate
This time, we bless 'em with the blade
[Verse 1: Powerwolf]
In this section, Powerwolf presents a vision of divine retribution where traditional symbols of faith, like the Bible, are desecrated. The imagery of tearing up the Bible and invoking curses reflects a subversion of sacred beliefs, suggesting a conflict between divine mandate and human actions.
[Pre-Chorus: Powerwolf]
The pre-chorus introduces a sense of finality and inevitability, indicating that any plea for mercy is futile. This line heightens the tension and underscores the harsh, unforgiving nature of the violence being enacted.
[Chorus: Powerwolf]
The chorus focuses on the act of attacking without warning and sacrificing for a higher cause, emphasizing the central theme of relentless and sacrificial violence as a form of divine or fated justice.
[Bridge: Powerwolf]
The bridge adds a layer of fervent zeal, calling for extreme actions like excommunication and flagellation. It highlights the intensity of the commitment to this sacred violence, reinforcing the song's themes of fanaticism and sacrificial duty.
[Verse 2: Powerwolf]
Here, Powerwolf continues to build on the themes of violence and chaos, describing a world where silence is broken by the spread of destruction. The metaphor of fire spreading like a virus suggests an uncontrollable, pervasive force of retribution.
[Verse 3: Powerwolf]
The final verse depicts a dramatic escape from traditional constraints, where characters are pious yet afraid, engaging in dangerous and defiant acts. This section echoes the themes of rebellion and conflict with established order, culminating in a sense of chaotic freedom.
