Conceived in Cincinnati in the late 90's by Rota and Burton, the band moved to NYC before settling in Los Angeles. After several years appearing with various big name bands in the genre (Danzig, Anthrax, Motörhead, Slayer) but without a breakthrough in sales they have found their own sound and are fast gaining a wider following. The selection of the track "King" by the increasingly influential Bam Margera on his Viva La Bands compilation appears to have sealed the Ministry's asendancy to the big time. In addition, the track "The Broken" was included in the WWE video game SmackDown vs. Raw 2006 for the Sony PlayStation2, further expanding the band's audience.
After replacing Fu Manchu bassist Brad Davis with former Systematic 4-stringer Chow, "Their Rock is not Our Rock" was recorded at Dave Grohl's 606 West studio and like their previous works was produced by genre legend Nick Raskulinecz. In another Margera hook-up they supported CKY on their 2005 Adio Footwear-sponsored tour. They are now on tour with Vains Of Jenna

End of Our Truth
Fireball Ministry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the fire in his eyes
You know I couldn't see
Any answers in the lies
Everytime you tell me
Always feels like treating
Not only people of yourStaring out the window
There′s the will, the evil
Always running
Never hide
Looking forward to you
Too much power
All inside
To the end of our truth
It doesn't take a lot
To make a killer out of Man
You asked for what you got
And never even had a plan(?)
Everytime you tell me
Always feels like treating
Not only people of your
Staring out the window
There's the will, the evil
Always running
Never hide
Looking forward to you
Too much power
All insideTo the end of our truth
Always running
Never hide
Looking forward to you
Too much power
All inside
To the end of our truth
The lyrics to Fireball Ministry’s “End of Our Truth” centers around the idea that humans have an innate desire for power, which can lead to corruption, destruction, and ultimately, the end of our truth. The singer seems to be aware of this dangerous trait in human nature and is questioning the motives of those around him, especially those in power.
The lyrics convey the idea that power can be all-consuming and that it can lead to the loss of one’s morality and sense of self. “All the fire in his eyes” is a metaphor for the passion and intensity with which some people pursue power, while “any answers in the lies” suggests that those in power will use deceit to maintain their control. The line “Staring out the window, there’s the will, the evil” describes the dark, twisted desire that many people harbor, which can lead them to do terrible things in the pursuit of power.
In the chorus, the lyrics repeat the phrase “always running, never hide” to emphasize how power becomes an endless cycle for those who seek it. The lyrics also suggest that the desire for power is universal and that it can corrupt anyone. The line “It doesn't take a lot to make a killer out of Man” is a reminder that all human beings have the capacity for violence and destruction. The song seems to be a warning about the dangers of power and the importance of maintaining our sense of truth and morality, even when we are in positions of power.
