Killarmy released numerous singles from 1995 to 1997, including "Swinging Swords" and "Camouflage Ninjas" as well as the Sunz Of Man collaborations "Wake Up" and "Soldiers of Darkness". The album Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars was released in 1997 just after the release of the Wu-Tang Clan's second album, as well as a 12" single containing two tracks from the album, "Wu-Renegades" and "Clash of the Titans". Shortly after the group's manager General Wise was shot dead in Steubenville, but the group pressed on undeterred, appearing on the Wu-Tang Killa Bees: The Swarm compilation and each making numerous appearances on other Wu-Tang projects from the Clansmen themselves and from other affiliates. The group's second album Dirty Weaponry was released in 1998 and the third, Fear, Love & War was released on September 11, 2001. In 2002, the group received some controversy following the Washington D.C. sniper attacks. On an episode of Tim Russert's Meet the Press, Russert and Montgomery County police chief Charles Moose stated that Killarmy influenced the shootings, and referenced a number of lyrics to support the claims. Despite the press attention, nothing materialized from the accusations. In 2002, Dom Pachino became the first group member to release a solo album, with Tera Iz Him. 9th Prince followed in 2003 with his solo debut Granddaddy Flow. ShoGun Assasson is rumored to be the next member to release a solo album.
Blood for Blood
Killarmy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a bullet hears my true love sign
in life's young dreams to all
Blood for blood
Blood for Blood without rewards
(Dom PaChino)
Mental expander with all the propaganda
You in a contest, on his conquest
lies a rap voyager, articla lyricist
Lyrics are Delhi like asbestis
You get cardiac arrested by the specialist
Commando with no encore, sore like a bald eagle
to this world full of evil
a shields of forcefield, transparent like Dear Parks spring water
tracks are trench slaughter like a chainsaw massacre
an ancient warrior trapped in Castlevania
One more way to explain is anger
(Shogun Assason)
To all my universal soldiers stay at attention
while I strategize an invasion, the mission be assassination
snipers hittin' car casins with semi-automatic shots heard around the world
My part is to control the globe and hold the world hostage
and my fingertips with tight grips like Atlas
See I got a warplan more deadlier than Hitler
It was all written down in ancient scriptures
Chorus: a bullet hears my true love sign
in life's young dreams to all
Blood for Blood
Blood for Blood without rewards
a bullet hears my true love sign
in life's young dreams to all
Blood for blood
(9th Prince)
Yo, a re-genesis, a speak lyricist, X-ray visionist
lyrical specialist under world terrorist
my razorblade custom sharpness
sharpin' the sword 'n' re-killed by the lord
the last platoon set up a camp fire on the moon
Be built of a will, illuminate soon
all my soldiers train with eagle claws
first to three of military laws
we create a massacre like Texas chainsaw
blood for blood keep the unity thick like mud
Killarmy attack 'n' pell of fighters
Deadly control of Lone Rangers, soap a sky blackness
Squadron ally bombers like Hitler and the battle of Britain
analyse my vision then join my collision
which is a war conviction, militant chamber that's headin'
Chorus: my true love sign
in life's young dreams to all
blood for blood
blood for blood
(Beretta 9)
Yo, check the convoy is parachutes diploid
a squadron of arment Killarms garment, it's sexist
surrender yo' shows 'n' yo' weapons
force the section pass the ammonition
shit is deep as I walk into danger
blowin' up spots with bad times 'n' anger
outlaws dipped to black for T-cap
with more force to loot
I bomb beyond the strike back
the Army, seven man deep, back to back
I pullin' out gats, lounchin' deadly attacks
I be goin' to war, unheard 'n' unseen
awakin' from yo' dreams, puck gunshots 'n' screams
don't got time for the snitchers, leave 'em count their stitches
make 'em take a fall in the bloody ditches
Beretta 9 givin' it raw, blood for blood
now we've gathered all at war
Chorus: why, blood for blood
blood for blood without rewards
a bullet hears my true love sign
in life's young dreams to all
blood for blood
blood for blood without rewards
a bullet hears my true love sign
in life's young dreams to all
blood for blood
blood for blood without rewards
The song "Blood for Blood" by Killarmy is a hard-hitting track that explores the theme of seeking revenge and retribution without any expectation of reward. The chorus repeats the phrase "Blood for Blood" without rewards, emphasizing that the act of seeking revenge should not be motivated by fame or material gain. The lines "a bullet hears my true love sign" and "in life's young dreams to all" suggest that these soldiers are ready to give up their lives for a cause they believe in.
The first verse by Dom PaChino talks about a mental expander who is a rap voyager and delivers Delhi-like lyrics asbestis. He presents himself as an ancient warrior trapped in Castlevania, who explains his anger towards this world through his lyrics. Shogun Assason's verse talks about his mission to control the globe and hold the world hostage. He boasts about his war plan, which is more deadly than Hitler's, and believes that ancient scriptures have written it down. Beretta 9's verse ends with a call to war, where he rallies his troops and emphasizes that they are gathering for one cause, "blood for blood."
The song's message is quite clear - that when seeking revenge, there should be no expectation of reward. The theme is communicated through a series of violent imagery and aggressive wordplay, typical of Killarmy's style.

The world is a place where the strong dominate the weak, and the disadvantaged are forced to fight for their dignity and self-respect, even if it means using force and brutality to do so.
