Invasion
Urgehal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Invasion coming from the coast
Invasion coming through the air
Invasion everywhere
Can you hear the bells of Armageddon Tolling?
Feel the end is near, holocaust is coming
Destroying everything in its way
Armies of insane soldiers kills on command
Raping the old bitch mother earth
See the dead bodies lying rotting on the ground
Heare the alarm of war, it's the devils sound
The metal birds on dead wings are coming
Hear the sound of messerschmith-death
So run for cover cowards or stand and fight
For the glory of your land:
... The glory of Hell
... And the invasion probes the soil
The lyrics to Urgehal's song Invasion depict a dark and ominous picture of an overwhelming force that is invading the land. The invasion is described as coming from all directions, through the land, coast, and air. The image of destruction and chaos is not far behind with descriptions of motorized death machines destroying everything in their way, armies of insane soldiers killing on command and even raping the earth. The lyrics are a commentary on war, its destructive effects and its toll on humanity.
The lyrics also suggest that the end of the world is near, with the bells of Armageddon tolling and the holocaust coming. The imagery is vivid, with dead bodies lying rotting on the ground, the sound of the devil's war cry filling the air, and metal birds on dead wings flying overhead, delivering death and destruction. The song is a warning of the horrors of war and its devastating consequences. It calls for people to either run for cover or stand and fight for the glory of their land, even if that glory will lead them to hell.
Overall, the lyrics of Invasion are a powerful and poignant reminder of the evils of war and the importance of peace. It is a call to action for people to come together, put aside their differences, and work towards a more peaceful world.
