Thanatos
Daemon Lost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's always a reason to fall
If the heart is angry, the mind obsessed
What survives generations is this desire
To destroy, mutilate, self-demonstration

The final battle yet to come
Thanatos is pushing forward
Every man feels this urge to die for blood
Proud of their weapons, they destroy to create Chaos and Terror
There'll be no more grief or tears, no-one to feel this

Blind killers search for vain revenge
Brainwashed by dark minds





This is how Humanity ends, murders itself
Impulse taking over Man's heart
