Slave of Darkness
Burning in Hell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Music: Leandro / Marcelo Lyrics: Leandro]

Slave of darkness, slave of darkness, slave of darkness
I'm riding high across the wind to wash away all my sins
So voices can be heard in my mind and Gods will light my whole life
You see my fights and my prayers to follow the line of my destiny
In my soul there's much grief
'Cause I lost my hope
Taking away my joy of living
With no friends only my fears
My dream is just to live and not be a slave of darkness
[BRIDGE]
I live now and wait for someday
So that I will be able to live in peace
I live now and waiting for tomorrow
And trying to escape to be…
[CHORUS]
Slave of darkness, slave of darkness, slave of darkness
I don't wanna be for all eternity
I'm riding higher over the hills
My eyes can't see anybody
Nobody to save me
The shadows will be my only friends
Lost in the sky just me and my mind
Isolated from the world only with my thoughts
Emptiness in my eyes




I want to live again
[BRIDGE - CHORUS]
