Serial Leader

from the album

Slaughterhouse

Inspiration

The song theme is inspired by Norwegian terrorist and right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik who killed eight people by detonating a van bomb amid Regjeringskvartalet in Oslo, then killed 69 participants of a Workers' Youth League (AUF) summer camp in a mass shooting on the island of Utøya in Norway, 2011. Verse 1A especially reflects on the murderer's crippled mindset which comes from his ruined childhood. Due to heavy moral and physical abuse from his mother he believed that the only "cure" to the world is pain (killing).

Lyrics

VERSE 1A

Here we go!
In front of the justice
I`ve never felt so gorgeous and brave
Without a selection one by one
I sent them right into the grave

The more I get to see, the more I believe
The world really needs a cure
The more you`ll try to cut the steps
The heavier becomes the sword
In a father`s hand

VERSE 1B

I will strip you to the bone
Would prefer to eat you alone
I will strip you to the bone
Would prefer to eat you alone

CHORUS

I was born to lead the branch of death
Blood will feed your every single breath
Human race – it needs a stack of pain
Leader is the master

VERSE 2A

Different Earth: do you see!?
Lightning plants punishment seed
Frightened eyes – better keep `em shut
Dreaming of new lives to cut

VERSE 2B

Disbelievers – the time is running out
The bullet`s on its way to the brain
Judgment day – it`s here for sorting out
It makes your single muscle to strain

You can always try to run, even try to hide
The spirit of a beast makes me laugh
I will spit into your wide opened eyes
Lives are just toys in my hands

CHORUS (x2)
