Centuries to Kill
Act of God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look you die for him religion's enemy
Dusk of age enthroned traitir on the ross
Crown of thorns damned killing human race
Universe will rise in violence
Then we'll see the ancient one
In the eye of the seventh day
Kill again demon of light
Kill again Satan
The lyrics of Act of God's Centuries to Kill depict a world where religion and faith have caused pain and suffering amongst humanity. The singer talks about the book of god bleeding on the world of holy truth, implying that religion has been forced upon people in a violent and bloody manner. The singer assumes the persona of religion's enemy, ready to die for his beliefs against it. The dusk of age is described as an enthrone traitor on the ross, who has damned humanity and is wearing a crown of thorns, symbolizing Christ's suffering.
The song goes on to describe the universe rising in violence, and humanity encountering the ancient one in the eye of the seventh day, on the rock of eternal sea. This imagery is quite apocalyptic, where humanity is forced to witness the destruction of the world as they know it. The song ends with a plea to kill again, aimed at the demon of light and Satan.
Overall, the lyrics of Centuries to Kill are quite bleak and violent, depicting a dystopian world brought about by religion and faith. The imagery used is haunting, with a sense of impending doom.

Wow. I look at album cover, title. band name, everything, even the intro to the song and am expecting the singing to start off with a nice black metal shriek...then...wow. I swear I jumped outta my chair in utter shock.

Now this is awesome these female operatic vocals over blackened death thrash instrumentals and compositions! They should keep the female operatic style in their latter material but went to typical growls and shrieks!

@DMU555 I would say looking at the album cover is answer enough.

Great idea wasted... The instrumentals are awesome, but the vocalist could have actually focused on a more comprehensive singing instead of going all-soprano.
