I Live For Your Pain
Helloween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unchain your obscenity
desirable enemy
Await my enlightening
Allow what your fate can bring

Now you're caught inside my cage
You are the object of my rage
Sin, I wash you clean again
I'm your redeemer

Cause I
I live for your pain
I live for your pain
I'm dying

My victim you are meant to be
No, you cannot hide nor flee
You know what I'm looking for
Pleasure your torture, I will endure

Now you are rust inside my cage
you are the object of my rage
Blood, I wash you clean again
I'm your redeemer

Cause I
I live for your pain
I live for your pain
I'm dying

I'll burn in your flame
I live for your pain
I'm dying
I'm dying
I'll burn

Now you are rust inside my cage
You - the object of my rage
Blood I wash you clean again
I'm your redeemer
Be my believer

Cause I,
I live for your pain
I live for your pain
I'm dying

I'll burn in your flame
I live for your pain
I'm dying
I'm dying




I'm dying
I'll burn
