Adagio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing else, but darkness, blood and pain
My darkest ambition will prevent you to outlast
After so many years of disgrace
I feel my hatred becoming mightier
Corrupt your soul, I will
Never ending my pervert plague to rage
Spread your wings and follow me up high
Leave the dark behind, repent you sinner (repent your sins)
Leave our souls in peace
And pray for us to die bravely, O'Lord I've sinned
Salvation, wisdom and forgiveness
I dedicate my death to implore your pardon
I can't find my way, tracked down by my fate
To reign over the world I will
The mandrakes of death I will seed
I'll kill and certainly I'll bleed
Spreading impureness on your fields
Spread your wings and follow me up high
Leave the dark behind, repent you Sinner (repent your sins)
Leave our souls in peace
And pray for us to die bravely, O lord I've sinned
Salvation, wisdom and forgiveness
I dedicate my death to implore your pardon
I can't find my way, tracked down by my fate
Leave our souls in peace
And pray for us to die bravely, O lord I've sinned
Salvation, wisdom and forgiveness
I dedicate my death to implore your pardon
I can't find my way, tracked down by my fate
