Bombs Away
Space Eater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Iron birds are in the sky
From far away they have flied
To throw the bombs on my people
And kill them all or make them cripples
Sorry if we're not afraid
This particular nation you can't slay
All you do to us is genocide
Bombs away, bombs away, bombs away
Bomb them all, the entire nation
Bomb them all 'til extermination
'Cause they're evil, they must die
Not one person must survive
Mission accomplished, or maybe not
Civilians' corpses stay to rot
Will you tell your kids how brave you were
You killed for a living without concern
Destroyed bridges, buildings on fire
Wounded man - one more liar
In your eyes all of us are filth
Ferocious beasts that need to be killed
Bombs away, bombs away, bombs away, bombs away
But on the ground you have stayed
Rescue mission also failed
Dead commandos lay around
Another sight for TV crowd
Don't you fly over our heads
'Cause it will be your shameful end
You don't realize, dearest dope
This holy land's your final stop
Bombs away, bombs away, bombs away
Bomb them all, the entire nation
Bomb them all 'til extermination
'Cause they're evil they must die
Not one person must survive
Bomb them all, the entire nation
Bomb them all without hesitation
'Cause they're evil, they must die
Not one person must survive
The lyrics to "Bombs Away" by Space Eater address the devastating consequences of war, particularly from the perspective of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire. The song begins by describing the Iron birds (likely referring to warplanes) in the sky, who have flown from far away to drop bombs on the people below. The lyrics convey a sense of defiance, with the singer refusing to be afraid despite these violent attacks. The band challenges the notion that any nation can be easily destroyed, boldly declaring their intention to remain with pride. The hardships of living through genocide are explored in the song's chorus as it repeats the phrase "bombs away" in a chant-like manner, urging those in power to entirely bomb the nation and its inhabitants into extinction.
The second verse continues to describe the carnage left in the aftermath of the air raid. Civilians' corpses lie around after the mission's supposed accomplishment, and the band questions whether those who executed the bombing will ever think about the bravery of the people they've destroyed. The lyrics describe how the destruction left by the bombings has made life dangerous for survivors, with bridges and buildings destroyed, and people wounded. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the song's central message: that the people executing the bombing see their victims as "ferocious beasts" that need to be killed, while the consequences for the people of the targeted nation are devastating.
Finally, the song ends with a warning to the perpetrators of these bombings. The singer highlights the failures of the rescue missions that followed the bombings and warns against future attempts to bomb their nation, stating that doing so would be an act of shame. The song ends on a powerful note: those who chose to bomb the nation are likely to realize too late that it is their "final stop" if they return.

Iron birds are in the sky
Military planes are flying in the sky
From far away they have flied
They have travelled from a distant place
To throw the bombs on my people
To drop bombs on innocent civilians
And kill them all or make them cripples
To cause death or serious injury to everyone in the area
Sorry if we're not afraid
We are not afraid of your attacks
This particular nation you can't slay
This country cannot be defeated
We shall stay here with our pride
We will stay and defend our country with dignity
All you do to us is genocide
Your actions towards us constitute genocide
Mission accomplished, or maybe not
The mission may have been completed, or maybe not
Civilians' corpses stay to rot
Innocent people have been killed and their bodies left to decay
Will you tell your kids how brave you were
Will you boast to your children about the atrocities you committed?
You killed for a living without concern
You took lives without any care or remorse
Destroyed bridges, buildings on fire
Buildings and infrastructure have been destroyed by the bombings
Wounded man - one more liar
You accuse injured people of lying about their suffering
In your eyes all of us are filth
You see all of us as inferior or worthless
Ferocious beasts that need to be killed
You view us as savage animals that need to be exterminated
But on the ground you have stayed
Despite your aerial attacks, you have not won the war
Rescue mission also failed
Attempts to rescue civilians have not been successful
Dead commandos lay around
Your own soldiers have perished in this conflict
Another sight for TV crowd
The media reports on the casualties caused by your actions
Don't you fly over our heads
We will not allow you to continue aerial attacks on us
Cause it will be your shameful end
You will suffer the consequences of your actions
You don't realize, dearest dope
You are blind to the truth
This holy land's your final stop
You will not succeed in taking over our sacred land
Bomb them all without hesitation
Attack without any reservations
