Descent
Doro/Pete Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's one for all we're gonna pay
Too much confusion
So much abuse can't get away
It's raining blood before my eyes
It's getting dark, nowhere to hide
One life, one mind
We're so blind no one sees
It's a slow ride but a sure sign
We're all soon history (mes amis)
Descent
Descent
We hope that somewhere
Someone will stand up and fight
It's all a big lie
The life we live is such a crime
It's raining blood before my eyes
Glow in the dark, no place to hide
[Chorus:]
Is this the end?
Descent
This is the end
It's raining blood...
[Chorus:]
