King of Pain
Gosudar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traitors are choked with blood.
They’ve chosen the wrong way to
Pray the false gods.
Abandoned in my land,
Rejected in my love.
With bloody sword
It’s my destiny to be the King of Pain.
It’s my destiny to be the King of Pain.
In my dreams
I see a black ocean.
Full of godless creatures,
I will drown them
In their own blood.
Time has come to end the history.
I’m the last and only GOSUDAR.
In Gosudar's song "King of Pain," the lyrics express a sense of dominance and control over one's kingdom, even if it means inflicting torture on traitors who have chosen to pray to false gods. The line "My lands are full of torture" paints a brutal picture of a ruler who is feared and respected by his people. The next line "Traitors are choked with blood" implies that there is no mercy for those who dare to betray the king.
The following stanza shows a vulnerable side to the king as he describes being abandoned in his land and rejected in his love. Despite this, he still wields a bloody sword and envisions himself as God's right hand. The repetition of the line "It's my destiny to be the King of Pain" suggests that he is determined to maintain his power and rule with an iron fist.
In the final stanza, the king shares a vision of a black ocean filled with godless creatures that he will drown in their own blood. This emphasizes the king's ruthless nature and the belief that he is the only one fit to end history as the last and only Gosudar.
