So he came forth and said onto me
Son, you are forsaken
Condemned for the sins that you live
I offer you forgiveness [x2]
Bow down before me
I will never bow to he who claims to be divine
I'll tear down your gates with my bare f*cking hands
And burn the world that you rule over
No matter how convinced you are, you're not a god of mine
I never believed in you
From what I see it was justified
I never believed in you,
In you
This power over the masses is a gift you don't deserve
When your blood spills, we'll drink from your f*cking skull
You can run, you can hide
Bitch
I'll f*cking find you
I'll tear your eyes out of your self-righteous face
Lord
I'll f*cking find you
I'll tear your tongue out of your rancid f*cking mouth
Heaven will, burn to the f*cking ground
Your world will crumble, and fall from the skies
Blood will spill, and rain upon the earth
Your reign is over, and I'll wear your crown
This is your demise
I know you feel it in your chest
This is your demise
It's getting closer
This is your demise
I'm creeping from the depths of hell
This is your demise
I know where you sleep
I never believed in you
From what I can see it was justified
I never believed in you,
In you
What a way to end the world
With false hope in a false god
What a way to end the world
With false hope in you.
They didn't mean for it to be the point of view of Lucifer. They just wanted for a kickass song, and it is. "Morte Et Dabo was written to be the most evil, blasphemic song it could be. The only fictitious song on the record, about slaying god and tearing apart everything in the heavens. A real 'hell on earth' track. Not really much to say about it beyond that. It's fucking murderous." But hell, I am Catholic and I find the lyrics kind of meaningful. Sometimes I feel kind of like religion is dumb and tears us down as human.
