Valley Of Misery
Holochaust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's all misery
You think that's living
Depressive thoughts
Can be misleading
So laugh and cry
Make some heat to stay warm
When the night gets cold
[chorus 1:]
These experience words
Are just for your wealth
Sometimes we get ill
To gain our own health
Until you've seen it all
You don't believe it
Unless you wanna live
In valley of misery
Don't think that you are
The only one with the scars
With feet on ground
Is how you reach the stars
Dark are the skies
And you can find the light
But still you've got to fight
[chorus 2:]
There are no guarantees
In life we are living
It's as much of taking
As it's giving
The writing's on the wall
You must have seen it
Learn it well to be free
From valley of misery
Life is like a boat
We're all in motion
To choose the pace
And destination
Life may be storm
Should it be calm today
Then be ready for tomorrow
[chorus 1]
Or do you want to live at all.
[chorus 2]
From valley of misery
Where sunlight cannot see
In valley of misery

Escaping a life of despair and negativity
Where sunlight cannot see
A metaphorical place where hope and positivity do not exist
In valley of misery
A place of constant misery and despair
