Carnivorous Consumption
With Blood Comes Cleansing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Enough flesh left behind for the birds to feed
The armies of the beast shall wallow in defeat
Their mangled bodies rotting, left for the birds to eat
Carcasses will be everywhere, left to decay
The armies of the beast shall wallow in defeat
He will slaughter the wicked
With the sword of His mouth
He will slaughter the wicked
He'll be riding on a white horse
His garments dipped in blood
Heaven's army following
Wrath poured out like a flood
King of kings and Lord of lords
King of kings and Lord of lords
Carcasses will be everywhere, left to decay
Enough flesh left behind for the birds to feed
The armies of the beast shall wallow in defeat
Their mangled bodies rotting, left for the birds to eat
With the sword of His mouth
He will slaughter the wicked
With the sword of His mouth
He will slaughter the wicked
The lyrics to this song paint a vivid picture of a gruesome scene of death and destruction. The repeated lines of "Carcasses will be everywhere, left to decay" emphasize the horror and scale of the slaughter that is being described. The image of birds feeding on the leftover flesh adds to the sense of chaos and violence. The reference to "the armies of the beast" suggests that this violence is religious or apocalyptic, and that the slaughter is part of a larger conflict between good and evil.
The image of a white horse and garments dipped in blood is a clear reference to Christian iconography, specifically the book of Revelation in the Bible. This suggests that the violence being described is part of a divine judgement or punishment. The references to "the sword of His mouth" reinforce the idea that this violence is being carried out at the command of a higher power. The repetition of the line "King of kings and Lord of lords" further emphasizes the divine context of the carnage.
Overall, the lyrics to "Carnivorous Consumption" are a brutal exploration of religious violence and divine retribution. The imagery of decay and destruction is powerful and unsettling, and the references to Christian iconography add a layer of theological significance to the violence being described.

[Ezekiel 49:17-20, Revelation 19:11-21]
Carcasses will be everywhere, left to decay, enough flesh left behind, for the birds to feed.
The armies of the beast shall wallow in defeat, their mangled bodies rotting, left for the birds to eat.
Carcasses will be everywhere left to decay.
The armies of the beast shall wallow in defeat.
With the sword of His mouth He will slaughter the wicked.
He'll be riding on a white horse, His garments dipped in blood, Heaven's army following, wrath poured out like a flood.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Carcasses will be everywhere, left to decay, enough flesh behind for the birds to feed.
The armies of the beast shall wallow in defeat, their mangled bodies rotting, left for the birds to eat.
With the sword of His mouth He will slaughter the wicked.
