Call From The Grave
Daemonarch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Bathory cover]

God of Heaven, hear my cries
Of anguish, I'm in pain
I'm suffering a thousand deaths
But I live on in vain

Death would greet with eternal sleep
My soul would come to peace
My life has ceased, the time has come
Can no one hear my pleas?

Lowered down at the moisty ground
Into the dark and cold
My heartbeat is the only sound
Tears my limbs and soul

I scream for mercy, hear my cries
Lord, don't abandon me
I'm so tired
Grant me the eternal sleep

Buried and forgotten
In a cold and nameless grave
If death is what awaits me
I feel no fright

Buried and forgotten
In a cold and nameless grave




If there's a God in Heaven
Hear my call from the grave

Overall Meaning

In Daemonarch's rendition of Bathory's Call From The Grave, the lyrics speak of a departed soul who is tormented by the never-ending cycle of his existence. The singer cries out to the God of Heaven, begging for mercy and release from his unending pain. Death would be a welcome relief, but it seems that the singer is doomed to suffer for all eternity. As his body is buried in a nameless grave, he pleads with the Lord to hear his call from the grave.

I didn't know that this song was a cover from Bathory. I heard the Bathory version and I think is very good. Daemonarch copied the song but put his seal.
