In "Squeeze" by Thy Art Is Murder, humanity splits into predators and prey, and the command to execute becomes a ritual of extinction. The repeated image of a burial plot dug through filth into worthless earth frames mass death as both suffocating and meaningless, while phantom limbs still bleed long after the killing stops. Even faith offers no shelter, since every sacred son is laid to waste by despair. The song leaves only the cold arithmetic of war: one less mouth to feed, lights out.
Squeeze Lyrics by Thy Art Is Murder
Your phantom limbs still bleed
Wolves cry in the jaws of greater beasts
Lions of winter
Born from sickened seeds
Us vs them
In a war for humanity
Put the pistol to their temple and squeeze
Lights out, lights out
Lights out, lights out
Put the pistol to their temple and squeeze
Lights out
Justified homicide
Take the life from their eyes
Mass extinction, genocide
Everyone deserves to die
Rituals of ruin
A burial plot on a mountain of shit
Suffocating excrement
Dig six feet through the dirt
To roots of hellish earths
Find not a fucking shred of worth
Horrific mass of rotting flesh
A parasite without a host
Pummeled fucking cockroach
Send the parades of peasants
To killing fields and proxy wars
Now death is at your door
No nation under god is safe
No sacred son is spared
The spawn of man is laid to waste
By devils of despair
Everyone deserves to die
Take the life from their eyes
Rituals of ruin
A burial plot on a mountain of shit
Suffocating excrement
Dig six feet through the dirt
To roots of hellish earths
Find not a fucking shred of worth
Save nothing
Your savior had his chance
Save nothing
From the avarice of man
No honor amongst thieves
Just one less mouth to feed
Put the pistol to their temple and squeeze
Lights out
Your phantom limbs still bleed
Wolf cries
In the jaws of greater beasts
Lights out
The lions of winter
Born from sickened seeds
Us vs them
In a war for humanity
Everyone deserves to die
Everyone deserves to die
Put the pistol to their temple and squeeze
Put the pistol to their temple and squeeze
Lights out
