Ready for the Attack
Tulkas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Death has arrived tonight
The reaper took 43 on his arms
Pulling the strings of death they are
Unreachable, laughing at our cries
But that march hit a lot of gas,
The explotions came and burn their lies,
Revolution is knocking your door,
Tremble your high seats, we are coming for you.

We have the power now, we're ready for attack.
We are tired of this theatre shit,
No more blood will be shared in your name.
We are awake, we are more, we are strong,
On this battle there's no way to fold,
You started this long time ago,
Try to resist the real force.
There is no hide, no escape form this,
You'll pay with dead your awful sins,
Betrayer, genocide, your trial begins,
We'll show no mercy, no rest in peace.
We have the power now, we're ready for attack.
We have the power now, we're ready for attack.
We are tired of this theatre shit,
No more blood will be shared in your name.
We have the power now,
We're ready for attack.
We are tired of this theatre shit,
No more blood will be shared in your name.

System failed we'll do it our own way,
No more blood will be shared in your name.

Overall Meaning

The song "Ready for the Attack" by Tulkas is a powerful expression of frustration towards those who hold power and use it to cause harm and violence. The lyrics deal with themes of death, revolution and justice.

The opening lines convey a sense of foreboding, with "Death has arrived tonight" indicating that something terrible has occurred. The number "43" suggests that this is a reference to a specific event, namely the 2014 Iguala mass kidnapping in Mexico, in which 43 students were forcibly taken away by corrupt police and subsequently disappeared. The "strings of death" imagery suggests a sense of helplessness in the face of an unstoppable force.

However, the song quickly moves towards a message of resistance and action. The explosive power of a "march hit a lot of gas" is used to destroy the lies that those in power use to justify their actions. A call to revolution is made, with the intention of toppling those in "high seats" who abuse their power. The repeated refrain "We have the power now, we're ready for attack" suggests a sense of empowerment and a refusal to be cowed by those in authority.

The song's message is ultimately one of hope and strength, with the desire for justice and a refusal to accept the continued shedding of blood in the name of those in power. Tulkas's "Ready for the Attack" can be seen as a rallying cry for those who seek to stand up against injustice and make their voices heard.
