Deth Kult Social Club
From Autumn To Ashes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On the might of kings and captains on
(it won't be long, it won't be long now)
On the eyes of midnight watchmen
(I'm on my way, I'm on my way out)
I know my hatred is perfect
(it won't be long, it won't be long now)
For the culprit who deserves it
(I'm on my way, I'm on my way out)

dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
(there is) no dream worth pursuing when
(there is) nobody embracing and
(there is) no war worth fighting when
(there is) no blood worth spilling

on the might of kings and captains on
(spit something out, speak to me right now)
On the eyes of midnight watchmen
(step of my throat, get off my throat now)
I know my hatred is perfect
(spit something out, speak to me right now)
For the culprit who deserves it
(step of my throat, get off my throat now)

dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
(there is) no dream worth pursuing when
(there is) nobody embracing and
(there is) no war worth fighting when
(there is) no blood worth spilling

I know my hatred is pure
For the new recruit
Impostors on the fast track
To public execution
Beggars for mercy unite
But your pleas are ineffective
And if you ever come back
Beautiful incarnation
I'll lie down at your feet and
Accept my punishment
You better save yourself
You better save yourself
You better save yourself

dead meat against your broken bones
Thrown in a ditch to die alone
(there is) no dream worth pursuing when
(there is) nobody embracing and
(there is) no war worth fighting when
(there is) no blood worth spilling

(there is) no dream worth pursuing when
(there is) nobody embracing and
(there is) no war worth fighting when
(there is) no blood worth spilling

Overall Meaning

"Deth Kult Social Club" by From Autumn to Ashes is a song that explores themes of anger, revenge, and the futility of violence. The opening lines, "On the might of kings and captains on / (it won't be long, it won't be long now) / On the eyes of midnight watchmen / (I'm on my way, I'm on my way out)" suggest that the singer is ready to act on their hatred and take revenge on someone who they feel deserves it. The repetition of "it won't be long, it won't be long now" and "I'm on my way, I'm on my way out" creates a sense of urgency and a feeling that something violent is about to happen.


The song's chorus, "dead meat against your broken bones / Thrown in a ditch to die alone / (there is) no dream worth pursuing when / (there is) nobody embracing and / (there is) no war worth fighting when / (there is) no blood worth spilling," reinforces the idea that violence is ultimately pointless, and that there are no winners in a cycle of revenge. The final verse, "I know my hatred is pure / For the new recruit / Impostors on the fast track / To public execution," suggests that the singer has a deep-seated anger towards those who they see as unworthy or undeserving of success.


Overall, "Deth Kult Social Club" is a powerful exploration of the darker aspects of human psychology, and a warning about the dangers of letting anger and revenge consume us.
