From Hell
Dark Moor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A black cold sadness
Falling into
Hole of madness dying to
Step into the city
Breaking out from silence
Iron Gods
Sirens, don't stop crying
Really crying loud
Murder now
Is allowed
Hissing arrow
Soaked in fire
Wrapped in wire
The souls cry
From hell!
Right from hell!
Crazy driven horden of brothers
Money given to slay others
Richness striven between smothers
Is paid in blood
Keep on fighting no surrender
Judgement coming no defender
Just believing the pretender
Evil rising into
A spiral of madness
For all will be sentenced
And this way
Justice will take vengeance
Power does conspire
Against innocence
Wrapped in wire
The souls cry
The lyrics of From Hell by Dark Moor depict a grim and dark world where the rule of law has been replaced with a lawless, violent one. The song speaks of the depths of depravity that humanity can sink into when power and greed supplant morality and empathy. The opening lines refer to the darker aspects of human nature, where lust and desire for power give rise to an abyss of madness and despair.
The song then takes the listener through a vivid portrayal of the crumbling society. The city is a place of chaos and violence, with the Iron Gods pouring flaming destruction in their wake. The next few lines speak of the cries of the sirens and the sound of murder now being deemed acceptable, highlighting the darkness that has permeated every corner of society.
The final few lines of the song describe the consequences of this fall into darkness. The reference to the souls crying refers to the inner turmoil that those who have surrendered to darkness feel. The song's final line, From Hell, is a metaphor that describes the suffering and eternal damnation that awaits those who embrace evil.
