Awakening
Big Boss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black Power open the graves,
Death is my killing slave.
Rising souls of Damned,
hide in my Baphomet.
Now I stand ! Now I stand !
In the Gates of Hell
my Fires again burn, my Pride is Great !
Nobody know what I have done......

You would think they would have snake on high end relaxing meds before they bomb him with the 9 year coma or loss of a hand. I guess they like to give patients panic attacks for fun?
