Trivium_(p) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These mortals, "man"
This act of insult
Breeds our discontent
He turned his back
On our loyalty
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
Hell-fire be my destruction
For this war upon heaven
[Chorus]
Forged from fire
I declare this war
A war against Heaven
I bring upon my scourge
Filled with hubris
A declaration of war
It is I who spawns this fury
Torches, ignite
Blaze is set to engulf all of which we hate
Storm in, eviscerate
Every motherfucker in our way
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
I will bring my insurrection
And a war upon heaven
Hell-fire be my destruction
For this war upon heaven
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
Ascend to the heavens
To destroy them all
[Chorus: x2]
