Tags:Trash metal song featuring heavily distorted electric guitars and a driving drum kit. The track is in D minor at 140 BPM. The primary riff consists of palm-muted eighth-note chugging on the low D string interspersed with power chords. The drums utilize a standard rock beat with a prominent snare on beats 2 and 4,and frequent crash cymbal accents on the downbeats. A second guitar layer provides occasional harmonic accents and slides. The bass guitar follows the root notes of the guitar riff with a gritty,overdriven tone. The structure alternates between a rhythmic chugging section and a more open section with sustained power chords and melodic lead fills. Baritone vocal does not sing,more speaking words.
[Verse 1 — fast, staccato, spit out like a deposition] Once more fate has struck us with a cruel blow; while the masses wander, lost, (and broken, blind) I know the path I must take. [Bridge] Dominance—no fear within me; stand beside me, for power reigns. [Verse 2] He came one evening, offering me a filthy job, over brandy, while sweat ran down my neck. [Bridge] Hundreds of spears aimed at me— never did I pray to God, yet now He holds my love. [Chorus - downstroke guitar, gang vocals] Taste the blood‑stained coin (laughter echoes), (Taste the bloody money) anoint your soul with its oil; but you must kneel before your master— you have reached the turning point. (the hour of turning has come.) [Verse 3] Morality lies in ruins, its walls shattered, its gates cast down; the sheriff’s word is iron law, and no escape is given. [Bridge — slower, grinding, the guitars churning] Feed the gods with your blood, you can be saved only then.
