Death Knell
Panzer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Send them all to hell
Stagnation, damnation - the holy liar
Created an empire of fire, war & lies
A nation, a creation - insane illusions
Of a man of delusions - power creates death

Break down the bridges at the black sea
Flexing muscles to ruin
Can't you see this nations decline?
Can't you see the land decline?

Beat me - squeeze me
Crush my bones to pieces but my mind will never break
Death knell
Respect our freedom or rot in fucking hell

Promoter, freeloader - warmonger
Greed is so much stronger than rationality
Dictation, frustration - distraught mind
Quest for recognition a savage scream for help?

Break down the bridges at the black sea
Flexing muscles to ruin
Can't you see this nations decline?

Beat me - squeeze me
Crush my bones to pieces but my mind will never break
Death knell
Respect our freedom or rot in fucking hell
Can't you hear the death knell? Send them all to hell

Speed demon - breeding evil - holy liar - he will burn in hell

Beat me - squeeze me
Crush my bones to pieces but my mind will never break
Death knell




Respect our freedom or rot in fucking hell
Can't you hear the death knell? Send them all to hell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Death Knell by Panzer seem to be a commentary on the destructive power of war and the consequences of greed and the lust for power. The song's opening lines "Send them all to hell" sets a tone of anger and defiance, with the singer expressing contempt for those who manipulate and deceive in the pursuit of their own interests. The use of words like "stagnation" and "damnation" suggest a sense of despair, as if the singer is lamenting a state of affairs that has become so entrenched that it seems impossible to change.


The lyric "Created an empire of fire, war & lies" is a potent image, conjuring up the idea of a society built on destruction, cruelty, and falsehood. The refrain "Break down the bridges at the black sea" seems to reference a specific historical event, perhaps the Black Sea crisis of 2014, which involved a dispute between Russia and Ukraine over control of the Crimean Peninsula. The line "Can't you see this nations decline?" reinforces this interpretation, suggesting a sense of hopelessness and despair in the face of a situation that is getting worse every day.


Overall, the song seems to be a call to arms, a warning about the dangers of unchecked power and a plea for people to stand up against those who seek to oppress and exploit them.
