Nuclear 4711
Agamendon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, driven through the depths of darkness
Travelling the course of 4711

Another age has begun -- fleshless soul will overcome
Dead shall be everyone -- come and fear our loaded nuclear gun

The shadow troops arrived to bring death -- unleashing a furious madness

Another age has begun -- fleshless soul will overcome
Dead shall be everyone -- come and fear our loaded nuclear gun

Rain of ashes will cover-the last flesh across the bloody fields
Our dying breed will settle down a take the crown
This bleeding ground under the flag of nuclear horizons

Another age has begun -- fleshless soul will overcome
Dead shall be everyone -- come and fear our loaded nuclear gun

Rain of ashes will cover -- the last flesh across the bloody fields

The song warns of an impending doom brought about by a loaded nuclear gun, with the arrival of shadow troops unleashing a furious madness that will result in the dead being everyone. It is said that a fleshless soul, possibly a reference to radiation sickness, will overcome, indicating that the singer and others like them may not survive the impending nuclear disaster.

The lyrics also describe a bleak future where a rain of ashes will cover the last flesh across the bloody fields, and the dying breed will settle down and take the crown under the flag of nuclear horizons. The song goes on to reiterate the initial warning, that another age has begun in which the dead will be everyone, and the loaded nuclear gun should be feared.

Well, driven through the depths of darkness
We are cruising through the pitch-black night without fear

Travelling the course of 4711
Our journey is on the path of destruction

Another age has begun -- fleshless soul will overcome
A new era is emerging where humans will be extinct

Dead shall be everyone -- come and fear our loaded nuclear gun
We're carrying a weapon of mass destruction; prepare for your demise!

The shadow troops arrived to bring death -- unleashing a furious madness
Our army has come to destroy, spreading chaos and devastation

Rain of ashes will cover-the last flesh across the bloody fields
After the war, the only thing remaining will be a wasteland of death and destruction

Our dying breed will settle down a take the crown
Even though we know we are doomed, we will continue to rule over our dead kingdom

This bleeding ground under the flag of nuclear horizons
Our war banner is a symbol of a radioactive wasteland
