Dead To Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rip out everything that makes you a man
And leave it for the insects
You don't deserve it anyway
Any rogues trying to escape we will terminate
Who is playing God and what is allowed?
Chameleon Christ, blend into the crowd
Chameleon Christ, burn it to the ground
I will devour
I am Cropgrower
The harvest grows stronger
Aerial fungal warfare
A false hybrid seed will take power
Nowhere to hide, we're coming for you
Nowhere to go, you're stuck in your roots
Who is playing God and what is allowed?
Chameleon Christ, blend into the crowd
Who is playing God and what is allowed?
Chameleon Christ, burn it to the ground
I will devour
I am Cropgrower
Chameleon Christ
Chameleon CROPGROWER

The reference to a "Chameleon Christ" suggests that even those who claim to be holy and pure can be corrupted by the lure of power and control.
