Angel Of Death
Apocalyptica Lyrics

Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The place of pain and torture, where thousands of innocent people lost their lives

The way that I want you to die
The artist envisions a terrible end for the perpetrators of such atrocities

Slow death, immense decay
The inhumane and slow death that the prisoners had to endure inside the concentration camps

Showers that cleanse you of your life
The showers which were used for gassing and killing the prisoners

Forced in like cattle you run
The prisoners were treated like animals and forced to run to their death

Stripped of your life's worth
The prisoners were robbed of their identities and treated as mere statistics

Human mice, for the angel of death
The Nazis saw their victims as mere vermin, following orders without mercy

Four hundred thousand more to die
The staggering number of innocent lives lost during the Holocaust

Angel of death
The evil, monstrous figure who caused so much suffering during the Holocaust

Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
The horrifying entity ruling over the countless victims of the concentration camps

Sadistic, surgeon of demise
The sickening pleasure the Nazis took in causing pain and death

Sadist of the noblest blood
The implication that even those with noble backgrounds could become perpetrators of such atrocities

Destroying, without mercy
The unrelenting cruelty of the Nazis, who destroyed countless lives without a second thought

To benefit the Aryan race
The twisted, hateful ideology that led to the Holocaust

Surgery, with no anesthesia
The brutal medical experiments carried out on prisoners without any regard for their well-being

Fell the knife pierce you intensely
The unimaginable pain of the prisoners as they underwent medical procedures without anesthesia

Inferior, no use to mankind
The Nazis' belief that certain groups of people were inferior and worthless

Strapped down screaming out to die
The horrific reality of the prisoners undergoing agonizing torture with no hope of escape

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
The terrifying experiments involving injections into the brain

Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
The excruciating pain and pressure that the prisoners had to endure

Burning flesh, drips away
The agony of being burned alive

Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
The unbearable pain that the prisoners had to endure as part of these atrocities

Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
The use of cold as a form of torture and punishment

How long can you last in this frozen water burial?
The horrific reality of being buried alive and left to die in cold, icy water

Sewn together, joining heads just a matter of time
The gruesome experiments involving the joining of body parts

'Til you rip yourselves apart
The utter despair and agony experienced by the prisoners under such brutal conditions

Millions laid out in their
The staggering number of lives lost during the Holocaust

Crowded tombs
The indescribable horror of mass graves filled with countless victims of the Holocaust

Sickening ways to achieve
The atrocities committed in pursuit of the Nazis' twisted goals

The holocaust
The unthinkable tragedy that resulted from the actions of the Nazis

Seas of blood, bury life
The immense bloodshed and loss of life caused by the Holocaust

Smell your death as it burns deep inside of you
The terrifying reality of being faced with one's own mortality and the prospect of a painful death

Abacinate, eyes that bleed
The cruel practice of blinding and maiming prisoners

Praying for the end of your wide awake nightmare
The desperate hope for an end to the torture and torment that the prisoners had to endure

Wings of pain, reach out for you
The haunting imagery of death and sorrow that permeated the concentration camps

His face of death staring down your blood running cold
The chilling presence of evil in the form of the Nazi guards and doctors

Injecting cells, dying eyes
The terrifying experiments involving injections into the eyes

Feeding on the screams of the mutants he's creating
The utter lack of humanity and moral compass driving those who committed atrocities during the Holocaust

Pathetic harmless victims
The innocent prisoners who were subjected to unthinkable torture and cruelty

Left to die
The horrifying reality of those who were unable to survive the horrors of the concentration camps

Rancid angel of death
The twisted, evil force of the Nazis who brought so much suffering to so many

Flying free
The haunting image of death and destruction that still lingers in the memories of so many
