Annihilation
Crucifix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From dehumanization, to arms production,
For the benefit of the nation, or its destruction,
Power is power, it's the law of the land,
Those who live for death, would die by their own hands.
Life is no ordeal, if you can come to terms,
Reject the system, which dictates the norm,
From dehumanization, to arms production,
It's your choice: peace or annihilation!
Annihilation is to one, the means to an end,
Armageddon the war to end all wars, the extremists' end,
Annihilation annihilation annihilation,
Self destruction destruction destruction,
The streets are on fire, death in our wake,
Cars overturned, bodies are raped,
You go on preaching, religious dogma,
While paying for and sanctioning, vicious murders,
Annihilation annihilation annihilation,
Praise destruction destruction destruction,
The streets are on fire, death in our wake,
Cars overturned, seen it before,
Annihilation is to one, the means to end,
Armageddon the war to end all wars, the extremists' end,
You go on and play with peoples lives,
Using their minds,
You want total control, stay in line
Annihilation annihilation annihilation, the judgement day
Armageddon armageddon armageddon, are you going to let them blow you away?
The lyrics to Crucifix's song Annihilation are a powerful reflection on the destructive nature of humanity. The song explores the themes of dehumanization, arm production and the misuse of power. The opening lines of the song set the tone for what follows, stating that humanity can either work for the benefit of the nation or its destruction, with power being the ultimate law of the land. Those who are focused on death will ultimately be consumed by it. Life becomes less of a struggle when one can reject the norm and its systems of oppression. The song presents a choice between peace or annihilation, indicating that humanity has the power to decide its own fate.
The song then shifts to the concept of annihilation, presenting it as a means to an end, with Armageddon as the ultimate war. The lyrics repeat "annihilation" and "self-destruction," emphasizing the destructive nature and consequences of such drastic actions. The imagery presented is intense, capturing the horror of a society on the brink of total destruction, with fires in the streets and violence everywhere. The song also criticizes religion and its hypocritical leaders, who preach peace while supporting violence and murder. The song calls for individuals to reject such leaders and take control of their own lives, choosing peace over destruction.
