We decided that we should try and never do two songs that sound similar and, in the process, developed a sound that’s filled many different influences and genres, yet keeping a familiar pop-punk identity" ...To be honest, it was more like, "Three friends had a revelation and realised that they all played instruments, so they made a band. And named themselves after a map in COD4."

Crossfire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have gone by with an aim "only revenge"
Why I have to be cursed
Why I have to be thrown into darkness
I'm the one, the lord of all the angels
And the master of holy light and flame
How could you expect me
To kneel in front of the sheep's of your creation
And you can't curse me down
I will be dead if I see the
Whole of the world pray for you one day
You've just known your conceit and your ego
You can't stand me cause I am the master race
But you have shown me
Weak and ignoble in me beyond your highness
Now I swear on my blood with all my heart
Your mankind one day will be my faithful slave
Then you'll see what I mean

Line by Line Meaning
I've been searching for answers for all years
I have spent countless years seeking answers
Have gone by with an aim 'only revenge'
These years have been driven by a sole desire for revenge
Why I have to be cursed
I question why I have been burdened with a curse
Why I have to be thrown into darkness
Why must I be cast into the depths of darkness
I'm the one, the lord of all the angels
I am the divine ruler of all celestial beings
And the master of holy light and flame
I hold authority over sacred light and fire
How could you expect me
How dare you anticipate me
To kneel in front of the sheep's of your creation
To submit before the feeble creatures you have crafted
I don't believe my soul will be lost in the dark
I refute the notion that my essence will be consumed by darkness
And you can't curse me down
Your curses hold no power over me
I will be dead if I see the
I would rather meet death than witness
Whole of the world pray for you one day
The entire world supplicating for your benefit one day
You've just known your conceit and your ego
You have only become aware of your arrogance and self-importance
You can't stand me cause I am the master race
You despise me because I represent the superior race
But you have shown me
However, you have demonstrated to me
Weak and ignoble in me beyond your highness
That I possess weakness and ignobility that surpasses your royalty
Now I swear on my blood with all my heart
Now I solemnly pledge, with the entirety of my being
Your mankind one day will be my faithful slave
That one day, your entire human race will serve me obediently
Then you'll see what I mean
Only then will you truly comprehend my intentions
Even you could not have everything you like
Even you, with all your desires, cannot obtain everything
Non serviam I never serve you
I refuse to serve you, I reject your authority
Non serviam I'll never obey
I will never comply with your commands
Non serviam I'll never serve you god
I reject the idea of serving you, oh divine being
Non serviam to your eternal lies
I reject your eternal falsehoods, I refuse to believe in them
