Psycho
Primal Fear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your kingdom slowly falls
Human sacrifice will turn into your
Enemies
There are species you can't buy
Not like your all corrupt alliance
Can see and already feel
There is no way out
There will be no release
You'll see the light
Sooner than believe
Listen to the story
Your friend the priest will tell
I'm gonna ring the bell
Psycho
Psycho in the air
Sweat is running down your face
You look like a mess - a disgrace
A whining wimp will fall into eternity
There is no way out
There will be no release
You'll see the light
Sooner than believe
Listen to the story
Your friend the priest will tell
I'm gonna ring the bell
Psycho
Psycho in the air
The lyrics of Primal Fear's Psycho describe a coming apocalypse when a fallen angel will call and bring about the end of civilization. The kingdom of the human race will crumble, and human sacrifices will occur, with enemies turning on one another. The lyrics suggest that the corrupt nature of humanity's alliances and governments will lead to the demise of the species.
The song speaks to the inevitability of the apocalypse, with no chance of escape or release. The use of the guillotine as a metaphor for death paints a picture of the brutality of the final days. The chorus repeating the word "psycho" reinforces the chaotic and destructive nature of the impending doom. The lyrics advise the listener to listen to the priest's story and prepare for the apocalypse, as though it is the final chance for salvation.

Yeah they’re awesome Stefan Leibing and Henny Wolter are great guitarists it’s sad that Stefan retired from music after he left the band in 2008 he left because he wanted to spend more time with his family and business but family comes first I respect his decision to leave the band since 2016 he plays guitar again for himself Magnus Karlsson is great too but I miss Stefan Henny Tom and Stefan were a great guitar duo same as Magnus Tom and Alex in Primal Fear too

@BettyChaos
Even if you don't, I guess you'll agree that bands tend to have their own styles of music ;) I just do not hear what I consider to be characteristic for Megadeth's style in this track, though I agree it's different and heavier than the rest of the album. But that's only my opinion. Or me listening to too much of old Megadeth ;) P.S. Pozdrowienia z Polski :P
@megadethdan
