Deathrash
Sarcófago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me torture you with my growls
Making you burst your head on the stage
Playing the simphony of atomic war
If you are a false don't entry
Because you'll be burned and died
The nuclear drums will chrush your brain
The blood of your heads
Spread in our faces
Violence and death
Are with we desire
Not that's enough
We want more blood
Come up on stage
Drag out our heads
Deathrash
Get out here and destroy all
Killing all falses bastards
Because is this with we want
This is our message...
The lyrics of "Deathrash" by Sarcófago are a brutal and aggressive call to arms for those who love hardcore metal music. The lead singer taunts the audience with his growls and invites them to join in the violent frenzy. The lyrics seem to be a description of a live performance where the band is on stage, making the crowd go wild with the "simphony of atomic war."
The song also contains a warning or a threat to anyone who is not a true metalhead, saying that they will be "burned and died" if they try to enter. The nuclear drums are mentioned, which could be a reference to the band's heavy use of drums in their music or a nod to the atomic bomb, which is often used as a symbol of destruction in metal music.
The theme of violence and death continues in the second verse, where the blood of the heads of the audience is spread in the faces of the band members. The lyrics suggest that the band and the audience share a desire for more blood and more violence. The song concludes with a call to arms for the audience to "destroy all" and kill "false bastards" in the mosh pit.
