Smelling Death (Rebirth of General Destroyer)

Released: 29 Jun 2022YouTubeListen

The lyrics describe the journey of a fetus from innocence to awareness, fear, and ultimately, vengeance. Initially, it views conception as a victory, unaware of the impending threat of abortion. As the fetus becomes aware, fear takes hold, realizing it is unwanted, trapped in silence, and facing the prospect of death. Eventually, the fear transforms into rage, marking a critical moment when the fetus rejects its fate and vows to fight back. Even in death, it lingers as an entity of vengeance, symbolizing a curse upon those who denied its life. The fetus evolves from a passive victim into General Destroyer, a fictional character that embodies the anti-hero aspect of all living beings, serving as a metaphysical force of wrath that manifests the consequences of a world that discards life so easily.

Lyrics

Verse (01)

A race among thousands

Only one makes it to the end

Sees the light of the victory

With no eyes, with no vision

Naive placentas vanquisher

Too sophisticated to melt

Power surge of victuals

In a womb of a pathetic self

Verse (02)

The race of life to make it to the end

The light of victory disappeared in an instant

The culling of humans and the earth they left

Without eyes or vision, the womb of pathetic self

Afraid of life, unwanted, vilified

Searching for an unknown light

To create a life where crime is to survive

Locked in the abyss of mind

Chorus (01)

My violent nightmares

Convulsions & smelling of death

My life's reflection

Twisted cord in scalpel's wake

To create a life where crime is to survive

We are monsters of our own demise

Verse (03)

Still not aware of the truth

Life to go astray

Lump of flesh denied birth

Meant to be thrown away

At that moment, I knew

I would destroy this world

A society so rotten

Walls of rubble & mud

Recitation

Am I hearing things in my head?

Am I smelling my own death?

Afraid of life, unwanted, vilified

You'll be hacked to death if I survive

Verse (04)

Shadowed cloisters run in slithered contour

Unfurls the pretense of good in light no more

Hatred of a lifetime brings forth a glorious birth

A wretched soul wakes to eat the marrow of the earth

A path forward to fight this deception

A rise in the surge of bitter self-perception

Chorus (02)

My violent nightmares

Convulsions & smelling of death

My life's reflection

Twisted cord in scalpel's wake

To create a life where crime is to survive

We are monsters of our own demise
