Waking the Demon
Bullet for My Valentine Lyrics

Helpless, my eyes are bleeding from the fear that's inside
I am overwhelmed by fear and feel helpless as it takes over me, causing me to physically suffer

You sealed your demise when you took what was mine
You brought your downfall upon yourself by taking something that belonged to me

Don't try and stop me from avenging this world
I am determined to seek revenge for the wrongs in this world and won't let anyone stand in my way

No voice to be heard
My voice won't be heard as I unleash my retribution

Waking the Demon
A metaphor for unleashing vengeance and bringing forth one's inner demon

Where'd you run to?
As I pursue my vengeance, I ask where my victim has fled to

Walking in shadows
My target is hiding, but I can sense their presence lurking in the shadows

Watch the blood flow
As I unleash my wrath, I'm warning my opponent to expect bloodshed

There's not much longer so don't try and fight
Resistance is futile, as the end is near for my target

Your body's weakening, walk to the light
I observe my victim's physical state and offer a metaphorical choice - either give up and 'walk to the light' of death or keep fighting and suffer more

All those painful times, so alone, so ashamed
I remind my victim of the hurt they've caused me and others, and of their loneliness and guilt in the face of their wrongdoing

Well I'm not coming back, there's nothing to gain
I assure my victim that I won't be relenting, and what they've done can't be undone

Caution, there's just no limits to the boundaries you push
I warn my victim that their actions have crossed a line and that they will face the consequences

I've warned you but still you just fuck with my mind
Despite my warnings, my opponent continues to taunt me and try to manipulate me

There's no escape from this rage that I feel
I express how intense my anger and frustration are, and that it can't be contained

Nothing is real
I am so blinded by my vengefulness that nothing else seems to matter or make sense

Breathe for me
A request to my victim to stay alive and breathe on my behalf, prolonging their suffering

Don't wake me from this slumber
I convey a certain comfort in the idea of being asleep, that it provides an escape from the reality of what's happening

Stay with me
I want my victim to stay and suffer alongside me, as I enjoy the act of delivering revenge

Possession taking over
My drive for revenge has consumed me entirely, and I feel possessed by it

Whoa
An interjection used to express emotion and convey intensity

Tread
An abrupt imperative for my victim to proceed with caution, knowing they are in grave danger
