Electricity
Blood Axis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We three
When all these things are done
And the stream of blood
Has veiled the murky air
With paws of crimson

Which the sun sucks upwards
Then we shall dance
All thy blood
Around thy tomb

And over the piled corpses
I will lift my limbs
High with each step
And all the folk who'll see me there

Yea, all who from afar only my shadow see will say
For a great king
All his flesh and blood
Hold high festival and solemn revel

And blessed is he
That hath children
Who will dance around his holy tomb
Such royal dances of victory!

We are three muscle spirits
In electricity
Force and aim in energy
While you are merely two

A form, if that
Motion - a minimum
And content defeated
The worshippers of lies

Our muscle: the fist!
Our spirit: intrepid!
Our life: blood!
Our duty: war!

Three crushing two
Muscle wrenching form
Force fights inertia
Deciding factor

The power to bend
The world isn't there
It never was
Harness the thought

It has no choise
It must bend
This power
This circuit

This power
This power is ours alone

Our head: clear!
Our hands: clean!
Our eyes: open!
Our fists: strong!

The number of the few
The stagnant multitudes
The hour approaches
And we exult in moment

A pit of burning corpses
And sing
An ode to joy
Avenge the murder of the spirit

Hail victory!
Hail victory!
Hail victory!
Electricity

Hail victory!
Hail victory!
Hail victory!
Electricity

Hail victory!
Hail victory!
Hail victory!
Electricity





Für Lieber töt aus Leben
Und nicht Leben

Overall Meaning

The song "Electricity" by Blood Axis is a powerful and intense ballad that explores themes of power, victory, and the destructive nature of war. The lyrics speak of a group of three individuals, described as "muscle spirits in electricity", who see themselves as superior to the rest of the world, which they see as worshipers of lies, stagnant multitudes, and defeated content. The three characters anticipate a great victory, symbolized by a tomb, and invoke a future where they will dance around the pile of corpses, celebrating their triumph. The repeated use of "Hail victory!" at the end of each verse reinforces this idea of conquest and domination over others.


The song's title "Electricity" is a metaphor for energy, force, and power which the three characters claim to embody. Their muscle, spirit, and life are all fueled by this energy, which is contrasted with the inertia and defeat of the worshippers of lies. The song's lyrics show a glorification of war and violence, and the belief that the power to bend the world to one's will is the ultimate goal. The final lines of the song, "Für Lieber töt aus Leben/ Und nicht Leben," translate to "For love, kill from life/ And not life," which can be interpreted as a justification for violence in the name of a higher cause.
