Iced Earth - Crucify The King Lyrics






Look at you now
Exalted no more
Scourging's left your blood
Soaked into the floor
For having the sight
You will pay a heavy price
Martyr for mankind
Contrived sacrifice

[Chorus:]
Let all your children pray
You've washed their sins away
I'll bring the suffering
Let all your children pray
I don't come their way
I'll crucify their king

Look at you now
You pathetic little man
With spear I pierce your hide
Destiny in my hand
For all mine have lost
Your fate will intertwine
Your death will polarize
Resurrection will divide

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Like all false seers, you're formed to fit the plan
Unsuspecting pawns to the detriment of man
And as your worlds collide
War will bring the suffering
And to that end I'll crucify
I'll crucify the king

[Chorus]

Iced Earth Crucify The King Comments
  1. G.... K....

    ICED EARTH!!!!!

  2. j.... d....

    la sangre que Cristo derramo en el calvario es la sanidad para el alma y el perdon de los pecados , la persona que acepta como señor y salvador y se arrepiente de sus pecados ese sera salvo, de la eterna condenacion porque para eso murio Cristo y bajo al infierno para arrebatarle a satanas las llaves del infierno y despojarlo del imperio de la muerte.

  3. B.... o....

    This song it about when the a messiah is born and the greedy Kings want to kill it to retain power they kill all kids no matter what

  4. J.... H....

    Intro sounds kinda like When Stars Collide

  5. T.... C....

    Its an awesome song

  6. N.... W....

    The opening riff just got me hooked for the whole song!

  7. J.... A....

    Best track ever

  8. L.... A....

    OMG true and amazing song

  9. j.... d....

    that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,

    j.... d....

    @Patrick1337 God gave Moses the commandments for His people, these commandments are the pillars of society, as you did not kill, you did not steal, you did not commit adultery, etc. etc. By transgressing these laws, it is not only sin against God, but self-destruction and Destroy the people around you as when a person commits adultery and the consequences are paid by his wife and children who grow up without parents etc, the fact of living without rules makes society become anarchy, where everyone does what is right He prarece, for some to steal is well, for others to kill is well, for others to have relations with their cousins ​​is well, for others to get high is good, but for God all that is sin and there are consequences because the wages of sin is death, That is why society and the people themselves are on their way to destruction because they have turned away from God. That is why the world is like this. For the love of money, I pollute the whole environment, destroying everything around it, for example with oil. Knowledge of centuries of anticipation of renewable energies is just one example, as the person who knows that smoking is bad but still smoking without caring anything is that the human being without God is self-destructive.

    j.... d....

    @jairo de Hashem
    You should get into politics .. they way you can get around a simple question, with a long ass explanation that makes no sense, and has no relation to the question .. MY GOD !

    j.... d....

    @Patrick1337
    That simple question takes a long answer so that you understand and assimilate it, then you can do what you want in your life, this world will tell you to do according to what you feel in your heart, what they do not tell you are the consequences That's why the bible says that the wages of sin is death, and you're going to pay every act of your life once you die, because we're all going to go to trial before the creator, so he who does not accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ already Is condemned.

    j.... d....

    @Dooms Fate I think they are a holy troll.

  10. I.... f....

    my opinion, he's not the king, and metal is not dead because of him

    I.... f....

    you are wrong

  11. T.... I....

    You can never go wrong with a song where Satan kills Jesus.

    T.... I....

    Set Abominae kills Jesus actually.

  12. S.... ....

    This is a really old comment to be replying to. XD

    BUT, mainly my comment was more along the lines of: Matt Barlow is NOT Iced Earth. I never said his opinion of Owen's was in anyway negative. Just the fact Iced Earth was still Iced Earth. With or without Barlow. If anything Jon is Iced Earth, since he's the only original member of the band, founder and songwriter. =3

  13. E.... W....

    So you can't have an opinion on the lead singer without including everyone else, too?

    There's no doubt that Barlow is better than Owens (not that Owens is bad).

    E.... W....

    Owens ain't bad. But Barlow is amazing i also like stu a lot.

  14. A.... H....

    It's almost hard to keep up with Jon Schaffer and who he wants to be in the band. If you haven't noticed, he gets guitarists for almost every album. The only people he will truly keep are himself, obviously, and his singer. Other than that, he doesnt want his guitarists to think they are holding the band together or get too cocky or high on themselves, so he constantly has new ones.

  15. S.... ....

    And the mo fuckin drummer who blasts beats like a the solo guitarist shreds a lick! ^.^

  16. B.... ....

    the assasination of christ. amazing song

  17. P.... 2....

    Schaeffer is a deist. Believes in a higher power just not any established organized religion.

    This song is about Set crucifying "Jesus Christ" (used in quotations because he was simply a normal "pathetic little man") and then resurrecting him to make him seem like the savior. Thus pitting jeudiasm against christianity and causing hatred and "suffering" to mankind.

    Awesome song.

  18. p.... ....

    @ApocalypticFuture and gone again hell no

  19. M.... ....

    @encoreee90 I'm changing my words. The instrumental part is one of the best I've ever heard. Those drum fills are awesome and when solo guitar comes in. I have no words for it. Epic.

  20. C.... D....

    @frankjones11 Wow dude I totally agree with what you said, I honestly couldn't of said it better myself lol :)

  21. K.... ....

    @stevierenee84 But then again, Dante's Inferno, now tell me if Hell and Lucifer sounds like fun after listening to that.

  22. j.... ....

    this is historical when you think about it , love iced earth.

  23. M.... ....

    the instrumental part from 2:30 is great..the drums are simply but with those rhythm guitar it makes an awesome music

  24. N.... ....

    @glortor Actually, the "Something Wicked" theme was created just for this Iced Earth alboum, an idea Schaffer created himself!

    N.... ....

    The Something Wicked storyline was created way way back with the Something Wicked album. Three songs gave the short version of the story. Later, Framing Armageddon and Crucible of Man told the whole story in every song. After this album, a handful of songs would continue the story in Dystopia and Plagues Of Babylon.

  25. P.... ....

    I JUST CAN"T GET THAT VOICE... I WANT THE OLD ONE

  26. V.... ....

    @jimmie302

    Tim might give Jon the finger if he dares even ask. Tim has three other projects/bands anyways. I wish Tim/Jon would just do the vocals together as on Gettysburg.

  27. j.... ....

    matt barlow is leaving again : (

  28. I.... l....

    @rav3able did you just call him the devil?

  29. S.... ....

    Thumbs up if you feel like a Setian!

  30. D.... ....

    @macktherocker666 Good christian metal???

  31. N.... S....

    THIS SONG RULES!

  32. C.... ....

    @frankjones11 yeah i agree we want to burn in hell.

  33. C.... ....

    @macktherocker666: They are, however, not anti-christian, unlike many metal bands out there. And have a rather respectable view of the religion itself, although most likely not many of its practitioners.

  34. M.... -....

    This song is so evil! I love it!

  35. K.... ....

    I first listened this song on the radio and now i love it

  36. M.... ....

    Awesome.

  37. j.... ....

    LET ALL YOUR CHILDREN PRAY
    youve washed their sins away
    ILL BRING THE SUFFERING
    love that

  38. R.... K....

    been since gettysburg since ive kept up with iced earth... this song gives me the feel of old IE... I love it

  39. N.... N....

    Yep. Pretty much. Nietzsche wrote using poetic metaphor (especially in "Zarathustra") which far too many people take at face value (his main concern was creating a new system of moral values which would not be rooted in religion, since by his time religious values were becoming quickly outdated and irrelevant (thus, "God is dead") and he found such "dead" values to be a very insidious notion that ultimately leads to nihilism).

  40. p.... ....

    rofl thats a long argument. anyways. IE AWESOME AS ALWAYS :D

  41. N.... N....

    Furthermore, the "Ubermensch" is a spiritual ideal developed by Nietzsche and has nothing to do with race or eugenics, but is rather concerned with improvement of character through self-overcoming (Nietzsche's general philosophy is mostly concerned with morals, values and their relationship to human psychology, the question of how people deal with what they perceive to be truths and the ways they devise to cope with reality ("Come What May" is a song about that), very heavy philosophical stuff).

  42. N.... N....

    Nietzsche was critical of Judaeo-Christian philosophies and attitudes (and that's the main link to Iced Earth lyrics), his writings on the subject were heavily edited and twisted by his sister (who was intent on giving them an anti-semitic bend in accordance with her prejudices) after his death. That particular edition later ended up in Hitler's hands. Nietzsche himself was a staunch opponent of racism and anti-semitism and in fact broke all connexions with his sister exactly over that issue.

  43. k.... ....

    How did you know about Wikipedia quotes? You checked yourself ...hmmm?

    Nietzsche probably influenced Thule Society which in turn influenced Hitler - whose Nazi party wanted to create a superman race .

    I read enough about Nietsche to know that whatever garbage he has to say is of no interest to me. You could accuse me of being narrow-minded, but I'm just a kind of person who doesn't go pissing on the electric fence to see if it is really, really true that I will have a painful experience.

  44. N.... N....

    Well, if you think that you can understand a philosopher's writings from a Wikipedia blurb then good luck to you (Nietzsche worshiped as a god by his followers? please...).Such straightforward literalism as yours is frankly alarming. I don't want to sound patronizing, but how many books in your life have you exactly read? WHAT do you know of culture or history or philosophy? Because at the moment you sound like an unversed illiterate spouting forth paranoid nonsense much akin to Hubbard's.

  45. k.... ....

    Friedrich Nietzsche - the guy who said that "God is Dead" and followed the thought of " Übermensch" (which translates into "overman" or "human being" or "superman"). He went insane before he died and his close friends at his funeral said that he was "holy" (basically worshiped him like a god).

    Humanism is not a term that is pinned on him, but if you check out his history and philosophy then he smells of humanism and occultism (sort of like L.Ron Hubbard).

  46. N.... N....

    This is pretty funny... Scientology and Humanism have nothing to do with each other, the former is a cult started by L. Ron Hubbard in the sixties, the latter a philosophical movement originating in the Renaissance, quite different things, really. As for the actual philosophical underpinnings of Jon Schaffer's lyrics, they're informed by the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche (which is as far from Scientology or New Age as can be).

  47. y.... ....

    Can't believe I saw them live

  48. L.... W....

    I would still listen.

    But I would stop buying.

    And it's not scientology, it's called fantasy. =|

  49. L.... W....

    People, people.

    Don't yell at him.

    Look at his screenname. His argument SUPPORTS Barlow!

  50. k.... ....

    I can see where you are coming from, but considering this I have a couple questions:
    1. If it isn't Scientology then where does Jon Schaffer draw inspiration for his songs? In "Come What May" he sings that you should look for answers "within yourself" which happens to be an idea from Humanism - so I wonder if it is a coincidence or something else.

    2 - If one day Schaffer came out and said that he indeed is a New Ager (or something like that) then would you still listen to Iced Earth?

  51. k.... ....

    Thank you!! I too am a Christian and just like you, I can look at this within context. Faith doesn't give you a liscense to be stupid!

  52. C.... ....

    Hey, that YOUR opinion.

  53. h.... ....

    nice i dont understand how people can get pissed i is just telling a story

  54. S.... ....

    Oh and and the Drummer as well...who well, can kick drum faster then most modern machine guns.

  55. S.... ....

    You know I thought Iced Earth was a metal band. Not a Pop group whose only member noticed is the singer.

    Not the lead solo ripping guitarist.

    The bassist with the oh so sweet fretless solos they get in Iced Earth.

    Oh and lets not forgot the rythm guitarist who also writes all the song.

    Silly me. I must be confused,

  56. T.... ....

    why don't u all take ur fucking religions on go shove em up ur ass cuz no1 cares

  57. f.... ....

    wow when will you religous zealots stop trying to preach to everyone and stop bashing things this isnt all devilish and shit listen closely jeez almost any metal song on youtube that has sumthing like this has a guy going blahblah blah he loves you all and hes the king we get it guys...if we burn we will burn leave us be and go listen to sum christian music or sumthing but stop coming to metal vids and bash them

  58. M.... ....

    I was almost considering giving Zeitgeist a look, but I saw it also talked about 9/11 being an inside job, and now I won't be able to take it seriously.

    Live and let live, man. You think people are deluded by Christianity, let them be deluded.

  59. V.... F....

    this is iced back strong!!

  60. m.... ....

    How did they glorify the Antichrist? The Antichrist was the bad guy in the movie. The "Friday the 13th" movies don't "glorify" serial killers, they just make for interesting characters.

  61. s.... ....

    This isn't satan. It's Set Abominae(or however you spell his name). If you listen to Come What May, Set is more merciful to humans.

  62. P.... ....

    Masonicrite, its just a song about a story. I doubt you went bashing movies like The Omen or other movies that contains the character "Antichrist". Even the bible mentions devils mocking Jesus, so i dont see where youre coming from with that bullshit?

  63. J.... O....

    ill bring the suffering, ILL CRUCIFY THEIR KING!!! you are not welcome in these parts. lyrics are what make the sound, not the sound! you my friend shall be silenced! /b/

  64. J.... H....
