Sent to Destroy
Combichrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
With pride we'll walk all over you
Steel grip, we'll hold you down
On a leash, we're coming through
Metal teeth, a diamond smile
Mechanical jaws, a two ton bite
With winter frost, an atomic pile
We stand the ground where the big dog's fight
Divine inferno, hell on ice
Heaven's burning, sacrifice
Divine inferno, hell on ice
Heaven's burning, sacrifice
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
You
Nuclear war, behind glass walls
We long for the storm, we stray from our path
Feel the walls, closing in
Chasing our trails, we're feeding our wrath
Metal teeth, a diamond smile
Mechanical jaws, a two ton bite
With winter frost, an atomic pile
We stand the ground where the big dog's fight
Divine inferno, hell on ice
Heaven's burning, sacrifice
Divine inferno, hell on ice
Heaven's burning, sacrifice
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
You
You
You
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
Your God sent us to destroy
The lyrics of Combichrist's song Sent to Destroy portrays a sense of arrogance, power and a mission to destroy everything in their path, possibly referring to a group of people who are strong and unstoppable. The phrase "Iron boots, we're walking tall" introduces the dominating demeanor of the group. With "steel grip", they are able to hold others "down on a leash", suggesting control over their prey. Accompanied by "metal teeth, a diamond smile, and mechanical jaws", they are described as possessing a strong and unstoppable force, "an atomic pile," standing ground in the face of any obstacle, even where the "big dogs fight".
The chorus, "Your God sent us to destroy", implies a religious motive behind their actions. This could suggest that the group is on a sanctioned mission from God to rid the earth of impurities or those who do not share the group's beliefs. The line "Nuclear war, behind glass walls" could also suggest that they have access to powerful weapons, indicating the destructive nature of their mission.
Overall, the lyrics present a dangerous and threatening side of humanity which is willing to destroy all in the name of religion or other beliefs, while feeling invincible and in control.
Line by Line Meaning
Iron boots, we're walking tall
We feel powerful and unstoppable
With pride we'll walk all over you
We have no respect for you and will dominate you
Steel grip, we'll hold you down
We'll keep you trapped and powerless
On a leash, we're coming through
We're in control and you will bow to us
Metal teeth, a diamond smile
Our appearance is manufactured and deceptive
Mechanical jaws, a two ton bite
We have the capability to cause immense damage
With winter frost, an atomic pile
We are cold and heartless, like a nuclear reactor
We stand the ground where the big dog's fight
We are ruthless and willing to engage in conflict
Divine inferno, hell on ice
We are dangerous and uncontrollable
Heaven's burning, sacrifice
We will cause destruction and harm in the name of our beliefs
Your God sent us to destroy
We believe that our actions are sanctioned by a higher power
Nuclear war, behind glass walls
We want to unleash devastation without fear of the consequences
We long for the storm, we stray from our path
We are drawn to chaos and destruction
Feel the walls, closing in
We feel trapped and desperate
Chasing our trails, we're feeding our wrath
We are driven by anger and hate
Your God sent us to destroy
We are convinced that our actions are justified

I will never forget going to see Rammstein in Ontario back in 2011 and I had no idea who was opening for them, a few songs in I looked at my cousin and yelled "This is combichrist!" It is to this day the best concert ive ever seen, Rammstein absolutely killed it with over the top effects and vocals and combichrist was the perfect opener.
