Beast
Enemy Of The Enemy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For he's the devils pawn
Alone among god's primates
He kills for sport, lust or greed
The sacred scrolls...
The truth unfolds...
Shun him - the beast of man
Let him not breed in great numbers
For he will make a dessert of his home and yours
Shun him - drive him back into his jungle lair
For he is the harbinger of death
The song "Beast" by Enemy Of The Enemy is a warning to humanity to beware of the destructiveness and violence of their own species. The lyrics describe man as the devil's pawn who kills for sport, lust, or greed. The beast of man is contrasted with other primates, who are considered sacred by God. The truth is revealed through "sacred scrolls," suggesting that there are deeper spiritual truths that humans must pay attention to in order to avoid becoming like the beast.
The chorus urges listeners to shun the beast of man, warning that if he breeds in great numbers, he will destroy not only his own home but also those of others. The song calls for humans to drive the beast back into his jungle lair, indicating a desire to keep the violence and destruction of man contained. The final line, "for he is the harbinger of death," reinforces the idea that humans must recognize and resist the destructive tendencies within themselves in order to avoid bringing about their own demise.
