Left Hand Path
Entombed Lyrics

I am my own God
I have complete control over my own life and destiny

Master slave and I will be beyond the grave
I am both the master and the servant of my own existence and I will continue to be so even after death

No one will take my soul away
I will not allow anyone or anything else to control or dictate the course of my life or afterlife

I carry my own will and make my day
I have the power to determine what I will do and when I will do it, and I will not be swayed by the opinions or desires of others

See the truth beyond
Look past the lies and falsehoods that are presented to you and see the reality that lies beyond

Through endless lies thy kingdom come
Through the constant deception and darkness of the world, one can find the light and create a kingdom of their own

Glorified wisdom illumination tool
Knowledge and wisdom are powerful tools for enlightenment and understanding

Self deceit it's the golden rule
Living in a state of self deception can be an effective way to achieve one's goals and desires

Live your life you're gonna die your own death
Live life on your own terms because ultimately, the only person responsible for your death is yourself

There's no one above that's gonna take your breath
Nobody has the power to control or take away your life

I dip my forefinger in the watery blood
The singer is symbolically invoking the power of the occult or supernatural

Of your impotent redeemer
The artist is rejecting the notion of a savior or redeemer as weak and powerless

And write over his thorn torn brow
The singer is asserting their own power over the supposed power of religious symbols or icons

The true Prince of Evil
The singer is claiming to be the representative or agent of a dark, malevolent force that opposes mainstream religious teachings

What man's created
The things that mankind has created or constructed

Man can destroy
Mankind also has the power to destroy the very things they have created

Bring to light
To uncover or reveal something that has been hidden

That day of joy
A metaphorical reference to a day when one's own power and control over their life is fully realized
