Face to Face
Gates of Holocaust Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Face to face, my enemy
I see the fear in your eyes
Where Jesus Christ to defend you?
Before me what can you do?

Face to face, my enemy
Brutally I will attack you
With my evil force

I will strangle you

I will tear your neck and drink of your blood
My desire is to see you suffering
At this time I am laugthing
Of your defeat, bastard

Jesus Christ, didn’t defended you
You believed in the illusion of the light
Where is the mercy of the Lord?

Your mind was execrated

Your body turned to powder
You med the smell of death
