King

Slaughter To Prevail's song 'King' delves deep into the darker aspects of human nature, reflecting on the inherent flaws and destructive tendencies that plague humanity. The repeated lines, 'Our blood will flow on our faces / Our conscience destroyed by our weak will,' emphasize a sense of self-destruction and moral decay. The band portrays humanity as a collective that has lost its way, driven by hatred and a lack of willpower to overcome its darker impulses.

The lyrics also incorporate Russian phrases, adding a layer of cultural and linguistic depth. Lines like 'Perezhivi eto kholodnoye mgnoveniye / I posmotri na nebesa' (Survive this cold moment / And look at the heavens) suggest a moment of introspection and a call to look beyond the immediate chaos. However, this moment of reflection is quickly overshadowed by the harsh reality of ongoing conflict and division, as indicated by the repeated call to 'Prepare for new war!'

The song also critiques the pursuit of material wealth and power, describing it as a plague that demands more money, property, division, war, self-love, and authority. This pursuit is seen as a force that destroys everything that was born, highlighting the destructive impact of ego and dominance over the world. The call to 'VOSSTAN' I PROSNIS'!' (Rise and wake up!) serves as a rallying cry for awakening and rebirth, urging listeners to break free from ignorance and strive for unity and truth. The song's intense and aggressive tone, combined with its profound lyrics, makes 'King' a powerful commentary on the state of humanity and the need for change.
