For the past 13 years Skillet has slowly going back to their Industrial/electronic rock sound that they were known for in the early 2000s. This song specifically is definitely a callback to early skillet. It’s heavy but in a weird way. Has alien youth vibes all over it and I’m digging it. This is great fan service, combining the old school sound with the heavy alternative rock/metal sound that got them popular to please both old and newer fans

I swear, the robotic take in John’s voice at the end of the song was the best decision made in this whole song-

Intro: John Cooper]
Destroyer of the lies
Destroyer of the lies
Destroyer of the lies
Destroyer of the lies
I'm a warrior, the destroyer

[Verse 1: John Cooper]
What a twisted web you weave
Inside a maze of mirrors
But you're afraid you're false, I was deceived
You pull me in the fear, uh
You better get behind me
Break the ties that bind me
Feel the fear rising
No more of that, I've been had enough
When my demons try to pull me under
Into the person I don't wanna remember

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
Destroyer of the lies
See through your own disguise

[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I'm the destroyer, destroyer
I will not be your slave (I won't be your slave)
It's over, it's over
I will not walk away (I won't walk away)
This is no time for the faint at heart
It's time for war, war
I'm the destroyer Verse 2: John Cooper]
Facing down the enemy
They gonna take the prisoners
You could be caged, I threw away the key
I'll burn it down to smoking embers
And I will not be crucified
Open up my blinded eyes
Now before you realize
There's no way I can ever surrender
I feel the darkness coming to remind me
Of who I was, I put that person behind me

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
Destroyer of the lies
See through your own disguise
Destroyer of the lies
See through your own disguise
Your rebellious demise

[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I'm the destroyer, destroyer
I will not be your slave (I won't be your slave)
It's over, it's over
I will not walk away (I won't walk away)
This is no time for the faint at heart
It's time for war, war
I'm the destroyer Bridge: John Cooper]
Destroyer
Destroyer
Destroyer
Destroyer

[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
I'm the destroyer, destroyer
I will not be your slave (I won't be your slave)
It's over, it's over
I will not walk away (I won't walk away)
This is no time for the faint at heart
It's time for war, war
I'm the destroyer
War, war
I'm the destroyer (I won't walk away)
This is no time for the faint at heart
It's time for war, war
I'm the destroyer
I'm the destroyer
I'm the destroyer

I love the "drum n' bass" influence on the pre-chorus and the chorus is one of my favorite on the album! They definitely put some creativity into this one.

[suprchickn]

This has a level of freshness I haven't heard from Skillet in a time! I hope streams and sales are through the roof! This album is absolutely brilliant and filled with variety and lots of cool left turns. It is definitely one of their top three albums ever imo!

[hudsonlaw]

This album is crazy! Each song has its own twist! I love it!

[maxhaly]

It sounds like John Cooper was channeling his inner David Draiman for this song cause this song gave off major Disturbed vibes. I've been a fan of both Skillet and Disturbed for years so I love this song a lot.

[davidwagner]

That heavy into riff hit me like a truck…. I love it

[pobccc]

Against all the evil hell can conjure, all the wickedness mankind can produce, we send unto them only you.

Rip and tear, until it is done.

[joshuaansley]

Skillet always pushing the creativity to new heights!!

[jdrake]

I like the Invincible/Alien Youth feel of this song. Nice theme throwback.

[Scizzle]

One of the coolest riffs I've ever heard.

[AndersenWolf]

*LOVE THIS ONE!!! is my FAVORITE from this Night's releasing!!!* IS PURE FIRE 🔥 🔥 🔥

[philsmay]

Finally! A song and nostalgic album that feels like the Alien Youth/Collide Era. This is like "Kill Me Heal Me" part 2. The formula is right there. Sick and slayin it to the max.

[giancarlojavierviz]

Wow the best electro metal album I've heard and that with this song that destroys it. Skillet adapts to modern metal without losing its essence. they never disappoint

[ajmaphanga]

My Favorite Song In The Album, plus it's really amazing for intense workouts🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[ARDrummer]

Has elements of the old school Skillet...very cool stuff!

[seangriffin]

You guys always combine the best melodies together into one song. Congrats on the new album and thanks for it.

[thursdayfivenine]

The beginning of this new song blows me away everytime I listen to it.

[dwane]

One of the best albums I ever heard. I love the positivity.
