My Apocalypse Lyrics

Claustrophobic, Crawl out of this skin
Heart Explosive
Reach and pull that pin
Fear thy name extermination
Desecrating hail of fire

So we cross that line
Into the grips
Total eclipse
Suffer unto
My Apocalypse

Deadly vision
Prophecy reveal
Death Magnetic
Pulling closer steel
Fear thy name annihilation
Desolating hail of fire

So we cross that line
Into the grips
Total eclipse
Suffer unto
My apocalypse
My apocalypse
GO!

Crushing metal
Ripping skin
Tossing bodies, mannequins
Spilling blood, bleeding gas

Mangled flesh
Snapping spine
Dripping bloody valentine
Shatter face
Spitting glass

Split apart
Split apart
Split apart
Split

SPIT IT OUT!

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

Into the skin the bones they all rattle
Future has passed
We disagree
Flesh gnaws away
The bones they all shatter

I thought to see the end in me
See the end in me

Claustrophobic, Climb out of this skin
heart explosive
Reach and pull that pin
Violate, Annihilate
A loser to my eyes
Obliterate, Exterminate

At life accept the night
Fear thy name as hell awakens
Destiny in hail of fire

for we cross that line
Into the grips
Total eclipse
Suffer unto
My Apocalypse

Tyrants awaken
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 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.

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

Slayer? I think it's too happy sounding for that, lol

Not Valid

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