Let Us Die
Avatar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, what a man
Goes as far as he can
For country and king
Nothing will stop him
Oh, what a man
The master of war
He's coming for more
He's raping your children

Handsome and brave
He will dig out our grave
And all the living things
Dies as he's watching
Handsome and brave
His weapon is rape
We cannot escape
He's taking your children

What will they take
When everything's lost?
What will they take
Oh, everything's lost!

If you don't want us to live
Let us die
There's too much pain to take in

We've lost our homes
To the man on the throne
Victorious king
His gun does the talking
We've lost our homes
Abandon all hope




He's making you choke
Enslaving your children

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Avatar's song "Let Us Die" are a powerful reflection of the devastation and violence caused by war and the brutality of those who wage it. The song tells the story of a man who is a master of war, fighting for his country and king, and willing to go to any lengths to win. He is described as handsome and brave, but his bravery is corrupted by his violent actions towards innocent civilians, including rape and murder.


The lyrics describe how this man's actions destroy everything around him, including homes, families, and entire communities. No one is safe from his brutality, and his weapon of choice is rape. The song ends with the plea to let those who have suffered enough to die, as there is too much pain to bear.

I think this is the album that they really changed and had that Avatar sound. This is where I think they went from everyday metal band to something really special.

Zebra Son

They definently established their sound on the Black Waltz but the self titled album was anything but everyday metal

Carebearjer
