Morte et Dabo
Asking Alexandria(R&R) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Son, you are forsaken
Condemned for the sins that you led
I offer you forgiveness
I offer you forgiveness
Bow down before me
Bow down before me
I will never bow to he who claims to be divine
I'll tear down your gates with my bare fucking hands
And burn the world that you rule over
No matter how convinced you are, you're not a god of mine
You're not a fucking god of mine
I never believed in you
From what I see it was justified
I never believed in you
This power over the masses is a gift you don't deserve
When your blood spills, we'll drink from your skull
You can run, you can hide
Bitch
I'll fucking find you
I'll tear your eyes out of your self-righteous face
Lord
I'll fucking find you
I'll tear your tongue out of your rancid fucking mouth
Heaven will, burn to the fucking 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
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 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
Asking Alexandria will burn in hell with this song
"Morte et Dabo" is a Latin phrase that translates to "I will give death." In the song, the lyrics are spoken from the perspective of someone who has been condemned for their sins and offered forgiveness by a figure claiming to be divine. The singer rebels against this, stating that they will never bow down to someone who claims to be a god and will tear down their gates with their own hands. The singer calls out the hypocrisy of the figure's power over the masses, predicting that their reign will come to an end with violence and bloodshed. The song ends with the singer declaring their lack of belief and condemning the false hope offered by the figure claiming divinity.
The lyrics of "Morte et Dabo" are deeply critical of organized religion, particularly the idea of a divine figure who holds power over the masses. The song speaks to the frustration and anger that can arise in those who reject traditional religious beliefs and seek a more independent path. The imagery of violence and destruction also adds to the sense of rebellion and resistance against a perceived authority.
