Happy Birthday! You're Gonna Die
Litmus Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Biological fallout destroys everything
Nothing can survive the chemical bath
It kills everything lying in its path
Its Armageddon day (X2)
No more cops. No more crime
This was the war to end all wars
There's nobody left to fight any more
Happy birthday it's been a year
So much has happened since you were first engineered
You used to be a common Anthrax
Now the Pentagon wants you for a chemical attack
They knew their virus could be much more
So they made you an agent in their chemical war
They made you stronger and much more deadly
And kept you cultured until you were ready
CHORUS:
Happy birthday. You're gonna die (X2)
The day you arrived on that petri dish
The lab boys knew you could grant their last wish
So they softened you up with radiation
And got your genes ready for manipulation
Its now a year later, and your time has come
To be dropped from above in a giant germ bomb
To level the entire battle field
By making everyone die after making them ill
CHORUS:
As loved ones fell to the deadly sickness
Predators robbed them for their meekness
There are no mutants in this brave new world
There is no bright new future for these lost boys and girls
What flag were they holding with so much pride?
As bombs were exploding and they burned from inside
What were they thinking as the bullets rang by
What courage did God give them when it came time to die?
CHORUS:
The lyrics of Litmus Green's song "Happy Birthday! You're Gonna Die" depict a grim, apocalyptic scenario in which humankind has been ravaged by biological warfare. The opening lines describe the aftermath of a toxic rain that has swept across the earth, obliterating all life in its wake. In the chorus, the repeated phrase "it's Armageddon day" suggests that the world has reached the brink of total destruction.
The second verse of the song describes a world in which there are no longer any authorities, and all "petty problems" have been eliminated. However, this is not a utopian vision, but rather a consequence of the all-consuming war that has decimated the human population. The third verse offers a chilling portrayal of the development and deployment of deadly chemical agents as weapons of war. The song's title, "Happy Birthday! You're Gonna Die," underscores the cruel irony of a life that is engineered and ultimately destroyed by human technology.
The final verse of the song poses poignant questions about the human cost of war, as loved ones are lost and bravery is tested in the face of overwhelming destruction. The lyrics of "Happy Birthday! You're Gonna Die" compel listeners to confront the sobering reality of man-made disaster and the potential for humanity's self-destruction.

What flag were they holding with so much pride?
In the midst of war, what were the soldiers fighting for, what did the symbols and flags they held symbolize, and what meaning did they carry?
As bombs were exploding and they burned from inside

What courage did God give them when it came time to die?
In those final moments, what gave those soldiers the courage and the strength to face their deaths with valor and courage?
