Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A demonic glaring eye through the flames of hell
Our quest for fire to take back what you stole
What yours is mine to use at our device
Endlessly we ride into the flames of hell
Black stallions of the night through the flames of hell
Sliced open your throat, your precious soul will seep out
We are the children who are lurking in the night
We are the saviors restoring evil in this world
We're one and one for all to heed this demon realm
Armies of angels will fall under our control
Cast from the devils arms into the flames of hell
To drag your people down through the flames of hell
Seek and destroy
Cities, towns, will crumble at the gates of torture
We're one and one for all to heed this demon realm
Armies of angels will fall under our control
We're one and one for all to see the glory of our kingdom after its'
fall restored to its evil throne on high
We come to raise the fire and ravage through your soul
We come to raise the fire and take back what you stole
Enter the demon realm. Hellfire
The lyrics to Destroy Destroy Destroy's song "Hellfire" paint a picture of a group of people venturing into the flames of Hell to retrieve what was taken from them. The opening lines suggest that their journey will be eternal, and that they will be confronted by an ominous demonic presence. The word "dive" is a deliberate choice, implying that this group is willing to fully immerse themselves in the dangers and horrors of Hell to achieve their goal. The line "our quest for fire to take back what you stole" suggests that they are there to retrieve something that rightfully belongs to them, whether that be a tangible object or something more metaphorical, like their power or dignity. They are prepared to take and use whatever they need to accomplish this goal.
Throughout the song, the group exhibits a bloodthirsty, violent nature. They ride black stallions and thrive in the darkness of night. The lines "sliced open your throat, your precious soul will seep out" and "slaughter at sight is our never ceasing goal" convey a brutal and merciless approach that suggests they either don't care about the people they kill or take pleasure in it. They are portrayed as a dangerous and chaotic force, causing cities and towns to crumble and leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.
Despite their violent nature, the group sees themselves as saviors, "restoring evil in this world." They view themselves as the rightful rulers of the demon realm and show no hesitation in taking control. They believe "armies of angels will fall under our control" and are determined to seize power at any cost. In essence, "Hellfire" is a tale of a group of people who are willing to do whatever it takes to regain what was taken from them, even if it means conquering Hell itself.
