Rising from the Ashes
Murder Squad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Day of darkness
Day of defeat
Nuclear firestorm
Brings mankind to it's knees

Children of the aftermath
Rotting in their wombs
Rising from the ashes
A new breed emerge

Mutant whores
With pus filled sores
Giving birth
To deformed offspring

Twisted and disfigured freaks
Piss in their veins and shit for organs

Cannibalistic fuck feast
Devouring each others rotting flesh

Ruin cities testament of mans insanity
Nuclear zombies stalk the damned

Undead Armageddon
Foul graves upturned




Warhead's unholy children
All human life burned

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Murder Squad's "Rising From The Ashes" depict the aftermath of a fictional nuclear war that has brought the human race to its knees. The song vividly describes the grotesque and horrifying consequences of such an event. The first verse sets the tone by painting a bleak picture of a world destroyed: "Day of darkness, Day of defeat, Nuclear firestorm, Brings mankind to its knees." These lines convey a sense of hopelessness and despair; the idea that this is the end of everything.


The second verse describes the mutants that arise from the ashes. They are portrayed as ugly and deformed: "Mutant whores, With pus filled sores, Giving birth, To deformed offspring, Twisted and disfigured freaks." The introduction of the mutants adds a layer of horror to the song. It suggests that the nuclear fallout has mutated the surviving members of the human race. The chorus, "Rising from the ashes, A new breed emerge," celebrates their emergence as a new species, one adapted to survive in the new world created by the nuclear blast.


The song then takes a grotesque turn in the third verse. The mutated humans have become cannibalistic creatures: "Cannibalistic fuck feast, Devouring each other's rotting flesh." The lyrics become more graphic, with lines like "Piss in their veins and shit for organs" painting a picture of the ultimate degradation of humanity. The final lines of the song, "Warhead's unholy children, All human life burned," suggest that this is the end of the line for the human race.
