Mitochondrion - Agonizing (In the Shadow of the Hammerblow)

Into the realm of the hammer strike (the hammer shall fall)
The shrouded moment when chaos is imminent

Within the shadow of the hammer strike (the transcending strike)
Impending clash, the anticipation is AGONY

Swarm forth with numbers unto the current perceptible
Destiny reveals its proclaimed ensanguined place
Unconquerable stance upon the site of total immortality
Misanthropic venom holds fast the spear of the elite remains

The Hours contort as the nameless descends
THE HAMMER STRIKES THE BLOW

Such ecstasy as eons of promise conclude
Unfathomable force serves the driving master unknown
Conquerable foes aware of the required fulfillment
Destiny met to equate the quintessential balance

Misanthropic venom holds fast the spear of the elite remains

**Simply, these words represent a vicious scenario wherein an elite force awaits the moment of a battle clash. The anticipation is so great and the blood thirst is so potent, almost to the point of agony! Once the opposing forces do engage, the catharsis is felt and the strong crush the weak. This is depicted lyrically and sonically as the strike of a hammer. The fact that the vanquished force is “aware of the required fulfillment” hints at some semblance of natural order in life. Essentially this song represents little more than mindless hatred and was mostly likely written at a time of great loathing!
