My Apocalypse Lyrics
Heart Explosive
Reach and pull that pin
Fear thy name extermination
Desecrating hail of fire
Into the grips
Total eclipse
Suffer unto
My Apocalypse
Prophecy reveal
Death Magnetic
Pulling closer steel
Fear thy name annihilation
Desolating hail of fire
Into the grips
Total eclipse
Suffer unto
My apocalypse
My apocalypse
GO!
Ripping skin
Tossing bodies, mannequins
Spilling blood, bleeding gas
Snapping spine
Dripping bloody valentine
Shatter face
Spitting glass
Split apart
Split apart
Split
A little bit closer
Dead man takes the steering wheel
What time to cross over
Forced to repeat until I feel
Future has passed
We disagree
Flesh gnaws away
The bones they all shatter
See the end in me
heart explosive
Reach and pull that pin
Violate, Annihilate
A loser to my eyes
Obliterate, Exterminate
Fear thy name as hell awakens
Destiny in hail of fire
Into the grips
Total eclipse
Suffer unto
My Apocalypse
My Apocalypse
Demon awaken
My Apocalypse
Heaven awaken
My Apocalypse
Suffer forever
My Apocalypse

So we cross that line into the crypt Total eclipse Suffer onto my apocalipse
That's the exact moment in which the kamikaze blows himself off the earth, taking a lot of people with him.
Desolating/Desecrating hail of fire
Maybe about the worship of violence, seen as a good resource, as a way of getting things done. But it's "desolating" and "desecrating", it just causes pain and suffering.
Crushing metal Ripping skin Tossing bodies, mannequins Spilling blood, bleeding gas
Mangled flesh Snapping spine Dripping bloody valentine Shatter face Spitting glass
A kinda graphic description of the massacre.
What makes me drift A little bit closer Dead man takes the steering wheel
What makes me know What time to cross over Forced to repeat until I feel
The kamikaze, perhaps, is amazed by his own blind determination to end his life and those of others in such a horribly mindless way.
Tyrants awaken My Apocalypse Demon awaken My Apocalypse Heaven awaken My Apocalypse Suffer forever My Apocalypse
Maybe about the political issues that breed this kind of violence, tyrants who feed people with hatred for other religious systems or ways of life, demons who represent pure evil, and heaven which is depicted as the last prize for the violence committed against enemies.

I think this song, like many of the songs written by james, can be interpreted in different ways...i think thats what he wants people to do. So keeping that in mind i think that it depends how you want to look at it. none of you guys were probably wrong, it could be about suicide bombers or about a car crash, or maybe it coudl be about him kickign his addiction [see the end in me](i know cliche -.- but w/e) or it could be about his fear of fading away and metallica loosing its place as the famous band that it is [fear thy name extermination]. or maybe it could be about a fear of death...he said it himself the songs in the album deal with death.... peoples fear of death and so on. it just depends how you look at it.

cool..first comment! This song ownes! Metallica are back to thrash after nearly 12 years.

Not bad at all, reminds me of Battery. This is pure thrash song, which they haven't done since Justice.

ooohhh my fuckin god !!! that song is fuckin good... im the only one or it sound a bit like slayer sometime. i d'ont know about the lyrics... but we all know that we can interpret many ways to MetallicA songs... tank you metallica for this 25 years of music and its till goes on and on and on.... fuckyeah... :-)
Slayer? I think it's too happy sounding for that, lol

On second thought, I guess it's as close to Slayer as Metallica gets, with those lyrics and all.
