Be Prepared for Hell

Be Prepared for Hell

Slipknot

“Be Prepared For Hell” is the twelth track on Slipknot’s .5: The Gray Chapter.

In an interview for Kerrang! Magazine, Corey Taylor spoke about this song:

This is hard, because it’s a song that Clown wrote, not only musically but lyrically, and that’s him singing it. What I get from it is the expectations that come in your mind when you’re dealt such a heavy blow, like losing Paul. The lyrics go, ‘Be prepared for Hell, and I say oh well / Just tell me when I can open my eyes and realise I’ve died’. So you may look like you’re together, but you’re not. On the inside, you’re really starting to deteriorate, so it’s the perfect set-up for what is the next song…
