[arranged by breitenbach]

the black sunshine high above
Smell dead children, forget to love
Soul burns brightly, never see
Never hear a word from me
One door is open, one door is locked
I am the mountain, the highest rock
You'll never reach the end until
Your hands work for my own will

hurgh

a loaded pistol in your hand
Will never be my command
The dream you reach in your mind
Well, I'm polite, you'll never find
Without my hand, without my feet
A man is nothing more than meat
Hell is for those who criticize
The truth, it lies behind my eyes

hurgh

I don't possess you, I don't care
That's not my kind of warfare
Trust me, you're small together we're tall
When you give me your life, child
It is the last time you will smile
For me the biggest, endless thrill
You never thought that I'd kill

hurgh

and from the point that you are mine
You start to learn a different side
The one who reaches out for me
Is trapped by sick misanthropy
Cause I deliver you from good
I treat you like nobody would
Say hello to the masters knife
And say good-bye to the beat of life

hurgh





huuuooaaarrsire!!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Warhead's song "The Healing" are dark and disturbing, conveying a sense of powerlessness and hopelessness. The opening lines describe a bleak landscape of a "black sunshine high above" and the stench of death. The singer seems to be calling attention to the fact that children are dying, but then advises listeners to "forget to love". The soul, however, is still burning brightly, though the singer declares that no one will ever hear a word from them. The chorus speaks of a locked door and the singer's position as the "highest rock", suggesting that they are the gatekeeper of some kind of secret knowledge or power to which others do not have access. The final line of the chorus is perhaps the most chilling, stating that one will never reach the end until their hands work for the singer's own will.


The second verse reinforces the idea of the singer's control over others, stating that a loaded pistol in someone's hand will never be their command. The singer claims to have access to the listener's mind and that without them, the listener is nothing more than meat. The third verse speaks of the singer's power to make someone's last moments agonizing and to take away their ability to smile. The final verse is perhaps the most ominous, as it speaks of the singer's power to deliver someone from good and to treat them in a way that nobody would. The line "say hello to the masters knife and say good-bye to the beat of life" suggests that the singer is now in control of the listener's life and has the power to end it.


Overall, the lyrics of "The Healing" are chilling and evoke a sense of powerlessness in the listener. The singer positions themselves as a powerful force, often using violent imagery and language to convey their control over others. The song is a commentary on the nature of power and control and the lengths some will go to gain it.
