Defiled And Inferior
Vomitory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raze the land
Bloodlines erased
Zero worth
Existence denied

Incinerating vengeance
War to end all wars
Defiled and inferior
Now ashes in the wind

Unworthy breed
Fanatic Insane
Cleansed by fire
Burnt to a crisp

Incinerating vengeance
War to end all wars
Defiled and inferior
Now ashes in the wind

Deafening silence
Desolate winds
Nuclear aftermath
Charcoal remains

Incinerating vengeance
War to end all wars




Defiled and inferior
Now ashes in the wind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Defiled and Inferior" by Vomitory describe the apocalyptic aftermath of a war that has brought total destruction, leaving a desolate and barren landscape. The song's opening lines set the tone for the destruction that has been wrought on this world. The land is razed, and bloodlines are erased. The value of human life has been reduced to nothing, and existence is denied to all by the overwhelming devastation.


In the second stanza, the singer talks about incinerating vengeance, which is a reference to how the victors of this war now seek to destroy any remnants of their opponents, leaving nothing but ashes in the wind. The defeated forces are deemed defiled and inferior; they are unworthy of life and are seen as nothing more than fanatical and insane, which is why they are cleansed by fire and burned to a crisp.


As the lyric progresses, the consequences of war become even more apparent. There is deafening silence, and the only sounds to be heard are desolate winds blowing through the nuclear aftermath. The remains of the once-great metropolises are now nothing more than charcoal, evidence of the destructive force of incinerating vengeance.


Overall, "Defiled and Inferior" is a song about the horrors of war and the destruction it can inflict on the world, which leaves behind only ash and scattered ruins. It is a stark reminder of the fragility of human life and the consequences of actions that bring about conflagration and destruction.
