Death And Destruction
Gadget Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Death and destruction hallowed be thy name
Earth quake as bombs touch the ground
Mankind is running for their lives
You're on a crusade of endless slaughter
Riding with greed tattooed on your chest
You're just a businessman with world to conquer
You're on a crusade of endless slaughter
The lyrics of Gadget's song "Death And Destruction" paint a picture of an apocalyptic scene where a man is on a mission of causing death and destruction. The opening line "Riding with fire under wings" refers to the man being in a vehicle, possibly a fighter jet, armed with weapons of mass destruction. The following line "Death and destruction hallowed be thy name" is a reference to the biblical phrase "hallowed be thy name" which is a petition for God's name to be revered and respected, but here it is flipped to show how the man's primary mission is causing death and destruction.
The next two lines "Earth quake as bombs touch the ground, Mankind is running for their lives" convey the chaos and destruction caused by the man's actions. The phrase "Riding with greed tattooed on your chest" suggests that the man's desire for power and control is the driving force behind his actions. The line "You're just a businessman with world to conquer" signifies that the man's actions are not driven by an ideology or patriotism, but by his desire to gain more power and control over the world.
The repeated line "You're on a crusade of endless slaughter" emphasizes the man's ruthlessness and his willingness to cause destruction on a massive scale. The final statement "You are mad man" reinforces the idea that the man's actions are not driven by any rational thought or moral compass.
