Heaven Shall Burn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Depriving me of mercy, refusing all compassion
These bare walls around me
My prison, my dungeon
Deliver me to ransom
No god can justify this cruelty
There's nothing left for me
There's nothing left but agony
At last break down this dogma
Just let me go, just let me be
Just let it be my last breath
As all peace has left this world
There is serenity given in death
Silence is falling down
So long ago I lost my anchor
As all my sorrows drown
The turmoil of this world is not my struggle anymore
The end is putting down its hand for me
I see, I feel
As all my sorrows drown
Just let me go, just let me be
Just let it be my last breath
Days fade away, songs die away
My peace of mind, given in death
As all peace has left this world
So long ago I lost my anchor
I'm longing for redemption
The turmoil of this world is not my struggle anymore
The end is putting down its hand for me
I see, I feel
These bare walls around me
My prison, my dungeon
There's nothing left for me
There's nothing left but agony
The turmoil of this world is not my struggle anymore
Enclosed by the mists of oblivion
Songs die away
The turmoil of this world is not my struggle anymore
The end is putting down its hand for me
I see, I feel
The lyrics to Heaven Shall Burn's song Outro describe the pain, anguish, and imprisonment that the singer is experiencing, depriving them of mercy and compassion. The walls around them create a feeling of confinement, and the idea of being delivered to ransom brings up a sense of desperation. The singer questions the cruelty of any god that could allow such suffering to occur, and expresses a desire for release from this agony. They believe that death will provide peace and serenity, allowing them to escape the turmoil and struggles of the world. The end is putting down its hand for the singer as they see and feel the emptiness around them.
The song's theme touches upon the complex subject of suicide, and the feelings of hopelessness one may experience when dealing with depression or intense emotional pain. Suicide is generally viewed as a tragic act that leaves behind a great deal of pain and confusion for loved ones, and the song explores the singer's desire for release from the suffering they are experiencing. The lyrics may serve as an outlet for some to connect with their own feelings of despair, as well as to draw attention to the need for mental health resources and more compassionate understanding of those struggling with difficult emotions.

I remember when I was about 15 years old back in 2005 when I first heard Heaven Shall Burn. The moments where Olafur Arnalds string and piano compositions played I remembered something awaken inside of me. It was the first time in my life that music pulled at something deep inside of me. It was the first time I was able to actually FEEL something through music... not just hear it...but rather listen. I remember the adrenaline rush during the HSB song, and then the quieting moment that would make me close my eyes and experience the feeling of calmness, sadness, and peace once Olafur came in. These were moments I will never forget. They were pivotal in my listening experience with music. These moments meant so much to me. Thank you so much for making this compilation.

It's amazing that such hardcore bands can create the most touching music anyone's ever heard.

Metal has a very strong connection to classical music, and gets a lot of inspiration of it. But a real listener of music, is able to like or respect other genres than their main genre. And you own this skill, because you can listen to other tracks than "hardcore" and also love that.

Never heard anything more beautiful than that.for some it might be depressing but everytime I hear this, it puts a smile on my face. I get so much positive energy out of that. And besides, it's an excellent thing to kinda chill out between certain HSB songs and let the songs really put an effect on you; especially the Antigone album. The tracks 6, 7 and 8, which would be "Numbing The Pain", "To Harvest The Storm" and the Risandi Von outro... actually, I think this is what keeps me sane sometimes
