Voodoo Nation
Adam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crying a world full of pain
Right to my face
Rage I see in your damned eyes
For all mistakes I've made
Crawling straight down my way
Something like all the rage I feel
Life wants faith
Voodoo Voodoo Voodoo Nation

Raiging stars
They will bleed as my scars
You can feel, you can feel
You won't forghet


So try to die another day
You said u want decay
Life says I'll bring u to the grave
So Life will bring u to the grave.
Life that brings u all this pain
Life that brings u all this shame
U know why I hate you.
