Hellraiser
Entombed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough
I keep saying that it's getting too much
But I know I'm a liar
Feeling all right in the noise and the light
But that's what lights my fire
Hellraiser,
In the thunder and heat
Hellraiser,
Rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser,
And I'll make it come true
Hellraiser,
I'll put a spell on you
Walking out on another stage,
Another town, another place
Sometimes I don't feel right
Nerves wound up too damn tight
People keep telling me it's bad for my health
But kicking back don't make it
Out of control,
I play the ultimate role
But that's what lights my fire
Hellraiser,
In the thunder and heat
Hellraiser,
Rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser,
And I'll make it come true
Hellraiser,
I'll put a spell on you
I'm living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough
I keep saying that it's getting too much
But I know I'm a liar
Feeling all right in the noise and the light
But that's what lights my fire
Hellraiser,
In the thunder and heat
Hellraiser,
Rock you back in your seat
Hellraiser,
And I'll make it come true
Hellraiser,
I'll put a spell on you

If I'm not mistaken,so far there's been at least 8 different HELLRAISER films! Oh yeah, and don't the CENOBITES take a great picture? They're just so damned PHOTOGENIC! Haha! The band COIL put out an album of HELLRAISER themes a while back. They were originally supposed to do the soundtrack to the first film but I think that it fell through.GREAT stuff though.
