Let The Blood Spill Between My Broken Teeth
Benighted Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let the blood spill, between my broken teeth
The desert landscapes stretch on the infinite horizon
Monotonous and wild
Unchain the wrath, naked skin tries to stay closed
Under the atrocious lashing sounds
Step by step appear the lugubrious furrows
Drawn by the born rivers
Their streams dig again and again, corrode the ground
Torturing the wide expanses
The sky turns black, the surfaces become quivering
The fleshy mountains like alive proudly rise
Cut in their middle, pierced under the rock
Opening the labyrinths of human thoughts
Lacerated plains by barbaric passages
Underground flows and plaintive whispers
Floods and earthquakes
Lightning strikes, traumatizes and signs the eternity with a forgotten name
Beneath a blinding light
A blinding light
The ground separates, cut in several places
The imprint of hostile elements is close to be made
Break
I clench my jaws and I bite as strong as I can
I let the blood spill between my broken teeth
Lava currents drown
The fissures
And spread the running disease
Hidden under indelible scars
Damages are made of a delicious disharmony
Like a bow sliding at random on a out of tune violin
Shapeless and devastating magmas search for the path of the surface
Fighting hopeless not to be broken
The desert landscapes stretch on the infinite horizon
Monotonous and wild
Unchain the wrath, naked skin tries to stay closed
Under the atrocious lashes
Lava currents drown
The fissures




And spread the running disease
Hidden under indelible scars

Line by Line Meaning

Let the blood spill, between my broken teeth
I want to suffer and bleed, I am in pain and want to show it


The desert landscapes stretch on the infinite horizon
The environment around me is barren, empty and vast


Monotonous and wild
It is boring and unpredictable at the same time


Unchain the wrath, naked skin tries to stay closed
I am letting out my rage and aggression, but trying to keep myself together


Under the atrocious lashing sounds
I am being beaten or attacked mercilessly


Step by step appear the lugubrious furrows
The sad and depressing marks are slowly becoming visible


Drawn by the born rivers
Caused by natural and inevitable processes


Their streams dig again and again, corrode the ground
The continuous flow causes erosion and destruction


Torturing the wide expanses
Causing widespread suffering and pain


The sky turns black, the surfaces become quivering
It is getting darker and ominous, the ground is shaking


The fleshy mountains like alive proudly rise
The flesh-like mountains seem to be alive and strong


Cut in their middle, pierced under the rock
There are deep cuts and holes in the mountains under the surface


Opening the labyrinths of human thoughts
Revealing the complexity of human minds and emotions


Lacerated plains by barbaric passages
The plains are torn apart by violent and cruel acts


Underground flows and plaintive whispers
There are secret and sad things happening underground


Floods and earthquakes
There are natural disasters happening


Lightning strikes, traumatizes and signs the eternity with a forgotten name
The lightning strikes are traumatic and will leave a lasting impact


Beneath a blinding light
There is an extremely bright light shining


The ground separates, cut in several places
The ground is splitting apart in many places


The imprint of hostile elements is close to be made
There will be a permanent mark of destructive forces


Break
A sudden stop or change is happening


I clench my jaws and I bite as strong as I can
I am gritting my teeth and enduring the pain as much as possible


Lava currents drown
The lava is overwhelming and consuming everything


The fissures
The deep cracks in the ground


And spread the running disease
The danger and destruction is spreading rapidly


Hidden under indelible scars
There are permanent and unhealed wounds beneath the surface


Damages are made of a delicious disharmony
The destruction creates a beautiful chaos


Like a bow sliding at random on a out of tune violin
Like a dissonant and unpredictable musical performance


Shapeless and devastating magmas search for the path of the surface
The formless and destructive lava seeks to erupt and spread


Fighting hopeless not to be broken
Trying to hold on and survive despite the inevitable destruction


Lava currents drown
The lava is overwhelming and consuming everything


The fissures
The deep cracks in the ground


And spread the running disease
The danger and destruction is spreading rapidly


Hidden under indelible scars
There are permanent and unhealed wounds beneath the surface

French Metal is raising the bar indeed. Gorod, Gojira and Benighted are part of the elite of metal these days

Ce sera a lui de faire son choix ^^
