My Destiny
Demon Hunter - Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unto my sin
I would never find my faith in this belief unseen again
The solitude of youth
My conscience wearing thin
I will suffer my infliction as a desecrated man
But the fear, the blood, the sweat and sound
They brought me here to wait for the will to appear
We were blinded by the sacred light
They carried us away
Like a razor through the dark that night
My destiny
Now the weight of living word
Come calling true
And my heart will drink the blood of death my soul forever knew
On the reverence of a voice
My clarity of you
The king of whom I never was has run my spirit through
We will carry that flame
The fire is in our name
We will carry that flame
The lyrics of Demon Hunter's song "My Destiny" speak of casting one's heart unto sin and losing faith in something unseen. The singer is haunted by the solitude of youth and is tormented by the fear, sweat, and sound that brought him to where he is. The holy light has blinded him and taken him away, leading him towards his destiny. Now, the weight of living word comes calling true, and his heart will drink the blood of death that his soul forever knew, but he finds clarity in the voice of the king. The song ends with the vow to carry that flame, to keep the fire going.
The lyrics of "My Destiny" are open to different interpretations. Some see the song as an introspective journey towards redemption, while others see it as a story of a person being consumed by darkness. The lyrics' heavy use of metaphors, such as casting one's heart unto the beast, adds to the song's enigmatic quality.

I am a christian pastor, and I just want to say it's awesome that believers and non believers can enjoy great music like DH. And that great bands like DH are making their way into the "mainstream" and "secular" industries more and more now days. Because no matter what you believe, the music is always uplifting and encouraging. And for the fans who are unbelievers, it's never too late and you are very much LOVED. Thank you for giving Christian music the chance it deserves. God bless!

melodeath fan Thank you, that gentleman fails to realize that God also created music (which includes all kinds) along with everything else. And it's up to us to either use music to glorify God, or unfortunately glorify ourselves and other idols i.e. money, sex, death, drugs, and yes Satan. God bless you brother.

A pastor that listens to metal? Where do you preach at?
Tim Heath
this is music that in a pastors beliefs is perfectly acceptable. It, just like any other style or format of music, has meanings and lyrics of what you might find in any other genre. If this song were talking about satan, drugs, sex or encouraging otherwise any other behavior that might be deemed unwise or ''sinful'', he as a pastor especially would not condone this song. This same thing could occur exactly in any other genre,. as it is about the meaning of the song, not the style of music in particular.
