Hands Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Descend upon their doomed existence
Reap their blood
I am the beginning of the end
Cast upon this mortal land
Pawns on a board moved in to place
Eternal sleep to those who wake
The spells are cast this is the last day of man divined by fate
My fate, the fate I will brought on by this vengeant kill
Countless eons I have waited, countless lives manipulated
The final piece finally falling into place
The final death etched in another man's grave
Blade turned earthward and plunged into his chest
Hysteric laughter bellows as he draws his last breath
I extinguisher reclaim my ancient right
To all that exists until the end of time
Pray for thyself, all will cease to be
Pray for thyself, pray that your death comes swiftly
And on this night salvation will die
There will be no recompense
It's only the beginning
Beginning of the end
The dagger meets the heart, signaling my reign
Blood sky ripped open, the sun fades away
The horror on their faces brings pleasures untold
If only they knew this is how their lives would unfold
Go forth, my minions descend upon their doomed existence
Reap their blood, make them bow before my feet
Forever imprisoned in cages of fire
In the name of my might blasphemy
And on this night, salvation will die
There will be no recompense
It's only the beginning
Beginning of the end
Go forth my minions, descend upon their doomed existence
Reap their blood make them bow before my feet
Forever imprisoned in cages of fire
In the name of my mighty blasphemy
Go forth my minions
Orders given to minions to commence destruction
Descend upon their doomed existence
Instructions to attack and annihilate the victim
Reap their blood
Describing the act of bloodshed inflicted on the enemy
I am the beginning of the end
The artist is the trigger of an inevitable end
Cast upon this mortal land
The artist is an outsider, brought to this land for a specific purpose
Pawns on a board moved in to place
Belittling human beings as chess pieces being decisively positioned
Eternal sleep to those who wake
Death is the only fate for those who survive his attack
The power from the pillar fuels my void of hate
The artist's hate is only intensified by their source of power
The spells are cast this is the last day of man divined by fate
The artist's use of supernatural powers leads to the end of mankind as it was predicted
My fate, the fate I will brought on by this vengeant kill
The artist's personal destiny is tied to the death of their target
Countless eons I have waited, countless lives manipulated
The singer has waited for an immeasurable amount of time and caused endless destruction in that time
The final piece finally falling into place
The final part of the artist's plan is coming together
The final death etched in another man's grave
The target's death is certain and already marked in their burial spot
Blade turned earthward and plunged into his chest
Description of the brutal killing of the target
Hysteric laughter bellows as he draws his last breath
The singer is joyous over the death of their victim
I extinguisher reclaim my ancient right
The artist is taking back their ancient claim to power
To all that exists until the end of time
The artist's dominion extends to all living things until the end of time
Pray for thyself, all will cease to be
Encouraging victims to pray for their own salvation as they will soon face extinction
Pray for thyself, pray that your death comes swiftly
Clarifying that the victims' death is the only inevitable outcome
And on this night salvation will die
There is no hope for salvation; it will die
There will be no recompense
No payback or reward of any kind for the victims
It's only the beginning
This attack marks the start of the end
The dagger meets the heart, signaling my reign
The singer is asserting their authority as the dagger kills the victim
Blood sky ripped open, the sun fades away
Bloodshed on a massive scale causes the sky to darken
The horror on their faces brings pleasures untold
The singer gains pleasure from the fear they inspire in their victims
If only they knew this is how their lives would unfold
The singer reflects upon the victims' ignorance and how their demise was inevitable
Forever imprisoned in cages of fire
The victims are destined to an eternal hell
In the name of my might blasphemy
The artist's actions are considered sacrilegious, taken in their name

Self medicate !

@1031 Li Glo true but you could understand it differently as I did for example. It does not have to be with drugs.

This song helped me quit drinking alcohol and using. Today I'm 120 days sober. Thank you, your words are powerful. Keep doing what you love! It's hard sometimes but "why not start?"
