Assassins
Avenger of Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sifting through the shadows
A violent force bent on your destruction
Evil intentions
Seeking the payment assigned

All around
All you see
Shifting faces of the enemy

(Pre-chorus:)
Burst of fire from the dark
Hunting you until you die
No escape from the fear
You will die tonight
Terror stalking everywhere
Feel their presence, know they're there
Invisible to all who seek

(Chorus:)
Killers lurking in the dark
Cutting you to pieces
Those who try to fight
Shall die
To appease the need




A demanding sacrifice
Of a human life

Overall Meaning

In "Assassins," Avenger of Blood describes a violent force that is seeking to destroy and kill with evil intentions. The opening lines describe the antagonists as shifting shadows, reinforcing the idea that they are everywhere and could strike at any moment. The pre-chorus builds upon this sense of paranoia and fear, as the singer realizes that there is no escape from the relentless hunters who are stalking them. The killers are invisible to those who seek them, exacerbating the feeling of helplessness and isolation. The chorus is a bleak picture of the consequences of failing to appease this force, which demands a constant sacrifice of human life. Those who try to fight back will not succeed and will inevitably die.


As a whole, "Assassins" is a song that showcases the ruthless brutality and unstoppable force of an evil entity. The lyrics suggest that the hunters are not motivated by anything other than their own dark desires, making them all the more terrifying. Avenger of Blood creates a sense of unease and uncertainty by portraying the killers as being everywhere and nowhere at once. The lyrics of this song are a warning to those who might underestimate the power of darkness and evil, imploring listeners to remain vigilant and aware of the dangers that lurk in the shadows.
