04 Absolute Power
Lazarus A.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Carry out the eradication
A relentless disease
You shut em down
Keep em down
On the path to destroy
Everything they believed
You can't escape this
Everything was a lie
You can't control this
With everything you must die

The writing on the wall
An empire due to crumble down
And I will not stand alone in vain
Deeper and deeper it fades away
A soul decayed
Divide and conquer now
It can't keep us down

You can't bring me
Down
Before
We're stronger than any war
You keep running your mouth in my face
And I can't take it anymore
Their heads to save
For this deceit filled grave
Cast a shadow over me
Nevermore
Shut them down
Keep them down
Deliverance to the distressed
The fate of existence
To a tyrant of justice
Let the new eradication begin

The writing on the wall
An empire due to crumble down
And I will not stand alone in vain
Deeper and deeper it fades away
A soul decayed




Divide and conquer now
It can't keep us down

@mrmario9494 Hah! These guys like a little bit of everything.

@AdansAldani

I gotta admit: Sometimes I spend WEEKS listening to their discography. I don't get tired of it.
Ryan is the soul of the band's sound. It's hard to find someone that can fit his shoes.
But fuck, we need Lazarus A.D. back!

@OgSleep

The onslaught is the Bible of thrash metal

@agoogleuser3787

Yes. We do. They should see if Mr. Haake would session for them. That would be interesting.

@metallicaspiker16

@@agoogleuser3787 Paul Seidel would be a great fit for them IMO.

A modern classic. It has been forever since I've listened to Lazarus A.D. and they still rule!
