Background[]
- "Sarcastrophe is the war cry. To me, I hear the song and I see us – and not to be weird – but charging down the hill towards the doubters, the naysayers, the people who might have thought that this band was down and out. It’s us just saying, 'Nope – just when you thought you had us figured out, we threw you for another loop, so here we come again, and you'd better prepare yourselves…' The lyric 'We are kill gods' basically means that we destroy everything in our path that tries to bring us down, and this band is fairly notorious for rewriting its own history. We kill the images behind us and recreate them going forward."
- —Corey Taylor[1]
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Wallow in the winter of it
Discover what you truly covet
Underneath and far above it
You slither in all kinds of shit
How could you forget about it?
Did you think you could minimize?
This is the age of consent
You'll get a day in the sun before I kill your fucking lights
Burn up in your atmosphere
Burn up in your utmost fear
Desecrate your temples
Only hell and hate remain
Don't look for crows to scatter
Prepare for judgment day
[Refrain]
We are kill gods
Yeah
[Verse 2]
The Kings are falling down
Can I find a way to get there?
Bury your head in the ground
Will you falsify for your fair share?
When it's done, it's done plus negative one
It's everybody's guess, but the apathy won
Will you come testify in the court of myopic opinion?
Or will you settle for oblivion?
Yeah
[Refrain]
We are kill gods
[Chorus]
(We) We make this world worth saving
(Are) Are you prepared to believe?
(Kill) Kill everything that kills you
(Gods) Live long and die for me
[Bridge]
Rape crutch and sick in the middle of evidence bag
That'll never obey
All these years spent hiding all the bodies
I can never be sure, but I remember the graves
[Refrain]
We are kill gods
[Chorus]
(We) We make this world worth saving
(Are) Are you prepared to believe?
(Kill) Kill everything that kills you
(Gods) Live long and die for me
[Outro]
Live long and die for me
Live long and die for me
