slave
Grace & Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m a creature of night
Drawn to the sight
Of flesh to feed my hunger

Craving fresh meat
I prowl the streets
And strike out of the shadows
Back in my lair
I stroke her hair
Consumed by my twisted passion

Versed in the ways of charm I persuade
None ever dare to deny me

Oh, when will this need ever leave me
Oh, when can I be free
To throw off these chains
And break the spell cast by her

I am a slave of desire
Let me burn
Under the curse of your fire

I damn them all
Seduced by my call
They fall for my deception
Their hearts are singed
They burned from within
Yielding to my temptation

Born to rebel
Like sirens from hell
They sing out to beguile me
Punished again
For their mortal sins
I’m the agent of their retribution

Oh, when will this lust ever leave me?
Oh how will it end?
Will I be free or damned to burn forever?

I am a slave of desire
Watch me burn
Under the curse of your fire

Oh, when will this need ever leave me
Oh, when can I be free
To throw off these chains
And break the spell cast by her

I am a slave of desire
Let me burn
Under the curse of your fire

I am a slave of desire
Watch me burn
Under the curse of your fire

I am a slave of desire
I am a slave of desire
Let me burn




Under the curse of your fire
Under the curse of your fire
