Paradox
HELLWEED Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you ruin everything
A taste of grudge in your actions
Bane my eternal flame
You don't try
You don't follow
You don't fucking care
Why can't you set me free?
Begone!
I can't change your roots
Begone!
So immovable
Put me down below the bottom
And you'll ruin everything
A disbelieve in your questions
Reflects infernal pain
You don't try
You don't follow
You don't fucking care
Why can't you set me free?
Please, my friend, save me
Begone!
I can't change your roots
Begone!
So immovable
You have no fucking guts
You'll never try to change your rules
You will never be one of us
You're not so unstoppable
