Hail The Apocalypse is the first track from Avatar’s fifth album.
Hail The Apocalypse is centered around the idea of doom and the end of the world. It is about how nothing you do now can save you from inevitable death and that we are all equal when we are dead.
[Verse 1]
There's a storm heading our way, all that's been will be gone
All your cities will sink into the ocean
You run away like cattle, but you cannot flee the battle
Wipe your ass, it's time to put on your war-paint
Throw the spear, let your hatred fly
Throw the spear, let your hatred fly
The desert is my prophet as our lives end by the minute
Stand up straight and fucking put on your war-paint
[Pre-Chorus]
Time to die
Hammer high
Name your price
And kneel
Hail the apocalypse!
[Chorus]
All flesh is equal when burnt
We are forgiven
Forgive us, we never shall learn
Get down
[Post-Chorus]
Hail the apocalypse!
[Verse 2]
Once you built, now you run away, the world is coming down
Leave your mark upon the graves of your stillborn
Just wrap it up in plastic; isn't killing things fantastic?
Fuck your greed, come on and put on your-war paint
[Pre-Chorus]
Die
Hammer high
Name your price
And kneel
Hail the apocalypse!
[Chorus]
All flesh is equal when burnt
We are forgiven
Forgive us, we never shall learn
Get down
[Post-Chorus]
Hail the apocalypse!
[Bridge]
All the lords I've sworn to obey
All the lords I've sworn to obey
I take it back!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
All the lords I've sworn to obey
All the lords I've sworn to obey
I take it back!
[Pre-Chorus]
Hail the apocalypse!
[Chorus]
All flesh is equal when burnt
We are forgiven
Forgive us, we never shall learn
Get down
[Post-Chorus]
Hail the apocalypse!
