Damnation
Streambleed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one on this field wins
A failed democracy adopts every state
Army of hate lead us to peace
Damnation
Here is the sedation of our falling nation
Damnation
The expectations spread around the world
Now we´ve got the pride
Bleed for this side
We're too dark inside
This is the last ride
Die for the flag tonight
Feed us from your throne
With god we are never alone
We build our paradise, ignore the victims
All we need is the fame
Damnation
Symbol of salvation, more globalization
Damnation
The fire of our nation leads to isolation
Now we´ve got the pride
Bleed for this side
We're too dark inside
This is the last ride
Fall from grace
There is no human race
Eternal scars
On the beautiful face
Look at me
I'm your enemy
You are kidding me
Kill me
I'm your enemy
You are kidding me
Kill them all
The trade of the weapons begins
No one on this field wins
Die for the consequences of the dream
Burn for the eye of the throne
Damnation
Front of desolation for our falling nation
Damnation
Our revolution the only solution
Now we´ve got the pride
Bleed for this side
We are too dark inside
This is the last ride
Die for the flag tonight
This is the last ride
Now we´ve got the pride
Bleed for this side
We're too dark inside
This is the last ride
In Streambleed's song "Damnation," the lyricist paints a vivid picture of a country in the midst of war and the resulting chaos. The song begins with a poignant statement that "war of the gold begins, no one on this field wins," emphasizing that there are no winners in war, only victims. The subsequent line "a failed democracy adopts every state" indicates that the country is in shambles, and the people are facing a crisis of leadership. The chorus highlights the sedation of the country and the expectations of people around the world, indicating that the situation is dire, and there may be no easy solution.
As the song progresses, we see that the people are rallying behind their country, although the tone is more somber. The line "we're too dark inside, this is the last ride" suggests that the people know they may not emerge from this conflict unscathed. The section "die for the flag tonight" intensifies the feeling of the country's impending doom. The lyrics then take a more sinister tone as the line "kill them all" is repeated, indicating that the violence may only escalate from here on out.
