Descend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And soon I'm the one in charge
Let the battle begin
You'll drown in blood
Accept, I fought and I conquered the throne
It righteously belongs to me
It's not to be taken away from me so easily
The time has come for the will of all to be gone
Disobedience will not be tolerated
From now on you will all speak of me with dread
For I am the only one, I am your master
I am in sickness and health
The one you will submit to
And now don't turn around
There's no going back
I am fear, wielder of the black darkness
The aftermath of my terror is nothing but death
You ignored to see what was so clear and this is your punishment
Death is your punishment
I am fear
Death, a relief
You can call me what you want
You just let go of your will and I won't release my wrath
The seven plagues
I am the one, the merciless
Your world will be washed away
You'll hear my masterpiece
The death symphony
The lyrics of Descend's song Confined by Evil speak of the rise of a tyrannical ruler who has conquered the throne and is now in charge with an iron grip. The singer portrays himself as an empty puppet who has taken control and warns of the upcoming battle where his enemies will drown in blood. He believes that the throne righteously belongs to him and will not be easily taken away from him.
The tyrant asserts his power and warns of harsh consequences against anyone who disobeys him. He is in sickness and health, the one everyone will be forced to submit to, and there's no turning back. The singer asserts his control as the wielder of black darkness and brings death and terror to his enemies. He warns those who defy him of punishment and death, and that he is the only one and their master.
The song portrays a dystopian world where the tyrant controls everything and dispenses justice as he sees fit. The lyrics provide a cautionary tale about the dangers of absolute power and how it can corrupt even the noblest of men.
