The Path
Dominus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel I need this path to get away
From the same old bullshit
We live in everyday
Just screaming, screaming where's
The path that leads to rock 'n' roll
I let it click, click, click
And out came what I need
Screaming, screaming where's
The path that leads to rock 'n' roll
In this wood this house was going wild
All the devils and witches
Oh yeah, they were invited
Screaming, screaming here I come
I love the rock 'n' roll
Along with me I brought the demon seed
I Let it click, click, click
And out comes what I need
Screaming, screaming here I come
I love the rock 'n' roll
In the house the vol beat rolled
I can't believe I saw a priest who
Was stomping out of tune
The devil and the witches danced
With the burning, burning booze, booze, booze
In their hands
The priest was looking at this wild dancing girl
(he said) how do you learn to move this thing, you will burn
(she said) I felt it in the music and I feel, oh so good
The priest was so horny, that he ripped off her clothes
I feel I need this path to get away
Get away from the same old bullshit
We live in every day
Screaming, screaming I was there, I love
The rock 'n' roll

I feel I need this path to get away
I need to find a new direction in life that takes me away from the monotony of my daily routine
From the same old bullshit we live in everyday
Life has become tiresome with no excitement or adventure
Just screaming, screaming where's
Feeling lost and unsure about where to turn
The path that leads to rock 'n' roll
Looking for a way to escape through the power of music
Along with me I brought the demon seed
Bringing my inner desires and passions to the forefront
I let it click, click, click
I gave in to my temptations and let them guide me
And out came what I need
I found the inspiration and drive I had been seeking
Screaming, screaming where's
Still searching for my true path
The path that leads to rock 'n' roll
Where music can set me free
In this wood this house was going wild
In this lively atmosphere, anything goes
All the devils and witches, oh yeah, they were invited
Everyone is welcome here, regardless of societal norms or expectations
Screaming, screaming here I come
Embracing the energy of the moment and ready to rock
I love the rock 'n' roll
The music is my passion and guiding force
In the house the vol beat rolled
The beat was pounding, setting the rhythm for everything that followed
I can't believe I saw a priest who was stomping out of tune
Even those who typically conform to societal norms are letting loose in this environment
The devil and the witches danced with the burning, burning booze, booze, booze in their hands
People are indulging in their desires and passions, free from judgement or guilt
The priest was looking at this wild dancing girl, (he said) how do you learn to move this thing, you will burn
Even the priest is allowing himself to be swept away by the energy and sensuality of the moment
(she said) I felt it in the music and I feel, oh so good
The girl is letting the music take control and guide her movements
The priest was so horny, that he ripped off her clothes
Even someone who has dedicated their life to a higher power is giving in to their temptations and desires
Screaming, screaming I was there, I love
Reveling in the memories and excitement of the experience
The rock 'n' roll
The music that inspired and allowed me to escape

My first Dominus song to listen to. Love the guitars and bass especially where they slow it down around the 4:07 mark. Perfect description in these comments by Johnathan Jansson - the sound is heavy groove metal. Like that, fits it perfectly. I don't usually like a groups or songs that have all growler or screamer for the vocals, but this I can actually understand. The drummer's sound and tempo is a little off to me but I personally like the sound of the song all together. \m/

@rob-pm7gb
I'm not a death metal fan at all but this isn't to bad, can actually hear a touch of volbeat in some of the guitar riff, but definitely love volbeat more.
