Heretic Klick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel the cold hand of death, and the end drawing near.
I've seen gods of the men, and all which they fear.
Sing to me songs of the darkness
Farewell to heaven, my friend
Come to me, bury your sorrow
The lyrics of Heretic Klick's song S.O.D. depict a person who is in touch with their mortality and feels the nearing of the end. The singer mentions the gods that men fear, possibly implying that there is something beyond life that causes apprehension. The sense of acceptance of the inevitable is palpable in these lines, as the singer asks for songs that celebrate darkness and bids farewell to heaven.
The song takes on a darker tone as the singer calls for sorrow to be buried and talks about temptations waiting for the condemned. This could be interpreted as an embrace of the dark or negative aspects of life, as opposed to striving for pure happiness and contentment. The lyrics also explore themes of religion and spirituality, suggesting that there is more to life than what we can see and that there may be punishment awaiting those who have sinned.
