Victim of Fate
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The biggest trap I had seen
Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to
Evil is all around
My mother's a bitch my father's a killer
Gettin' paid for murder
Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate!
I had to kill people to save my own life
I don't want to go to hell
I started at the bottom
I'm headin' for the top
I'll never return I'll never go back
To that goddamn part of the town
Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid
But this ain't the life I dreamt of
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate!
What now lonely man who's standing
In the shadows of the streets
You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you
You hide from the daylight living in darkness
You got no friends you can trust nobody
Except for yourself
The only shade that's beside you
Is the shade of Lucifer
Laughing with a satanic smile
And his friend Death sharpens his sickle
You don't want to die, do you? But you will
You will burn in hell!
Fly high touch the sky
Never know the reason why it ends
Victim of fate!
Fly high, touch the sky, you will die!
The lyrics to Helloween's "Victim of Fate" depict the struggle of a person born in a rotten part of town, surrounded by evil and violence. The singer's parents are involved in murder, and the only way for the singer to survive is by fighting and struggling every day. The lyrics then go on to describe how the singer has had to kill people to save their own life, and how they're heading for the top after starting at the bottom. The song ends with an eerie warning of the consequences of a life filled with darkness, with the shade of Lucifer and Death sharpening his sickle.
The song conveys the idea that sometimes people are born into a situation that is out of their control, and that they have to fight to survive. It also illustrates how a life of violence leads to a one-way ticket to hell. The music complements the lyrics with its fast-paced, heavy riffs that create a sense of urgency and danger.
Overall, "Victim of Fate" is a cautionary tale about the consequences of a life filled with darkness and violence. It urges listeners to take control of their lives and not let their circumstances define their destiny.
Line by Line Meaning
I was born in the rotten part of the town
I come from a disadvantaged area
The biggest trap I had seen
It's a place where it's easy to get caught up in bad things
Wherever you'll go and wherever you'll get to
No matter where you go, you'll encounter evil
Evil is all around
There's a pervasive sense of danger and wrongdoing in my environment
My mother's a bitch my father's a killer
My parents are abusive and violent
Gettin' paid for murder
My father's profession involves taking other people's lives
Fightin' and strugglin' the whole day
My life is a constant battle to survive
The only way to survive
Violence is a necessary means of self-preservation
Wanted from law but they'll never catch me
I'm a criminal, but I'll never be caught
I'd much rather die in this bloody war
I'm willing to die fighting rather than be caught by the authorities
Fly high touch the sky
I have ambition and want to succeed
Never know the reason why it ends
I don't know what the future holds
Victim of fate!
I feel powerless in the face of the circumstances I was born into
I had to kill people to save my own life
I've had to take lives to save my own
I don't want to go to hell
I fear eternal damnation
I started at the bottom
I had nothing when I began
I'm headin' for the top
I'm determined to succeed against the odds
I'll never return I'll never go back
I'll never go back to that terrible place
To that goddamn part of the town
To the part of town that was so awful
Headhunters won't get me 'cause I'm not stupid
I'm smart enough to avoid danger
But this ain't the life I dreamt of
I didn't want to live a life of violence and fear
What now lonely man who's standing
What happens to someone like me when they're alone?
In the shadows of the streets
Living a hidden existence out of fear
You're left alone with no helpin' hand beside you
There's no one there to help or support me
You hide from the daylight living in darkness
I avoid being seen or exposed to danger
You got no friends you can trust nobody
I have no one I can rely on or confide in
Except for yourself
I have to rely on myself alone
The only shade that's beside you
The only companionship I have is with the devil
Is the shade of Lucifer
I'm in league with the devil
Laughing with a satanic smile
The devil is amused by my plight
And his friend Death sharpens his sickle
Death is always lurking
You don't want to die, do you? But you will
I don't want to die, but it seems inevitable
You will burn in hell!
I'll face eternal damnation for my sins
Fly high touch the sky
I still have ambition and hope
You will die!
Despite my best efforts, my fate is sealed

Vitima do Destino
Vitima do destino
Eu nasci na parte podre da cidade
A maior armadilha que eu já havia visto
Aonde quer que você vá e aonde quer que você chegue
O mal está por perto
Minha mãe é uma puta, meu pai é um assassino
Sendo pago por um assassinato
Lutando e batalhando o dia inteiro
O único jeito de sobreviver
Procurado pela lei mas eles nunca vão me pegar
Eu preferiria morrer nesta guerra sangrenta
Refrão:
Voe alto, toque o céu
Nunca sabe-se o motivo pelo qual isso termina
Vítima do destino
Eu tive que matar pessoas para salvar minha própria vida
Eu não quero ir para o inferno
Eu comecei lá em baixo
Estou indo para o topo
Eu nunca retornarei, eu nunca voltarei
Para a maldita parte da cidade
Caçadores não irão me pegar porque eu não sou estúpido
Mas essa não é a vida com a qual eu sonhei
Procurado pela lei mas eles nunca irão me pegar
Eu preferiria morrer nesta guerra sangrenta
Refrão
E agora, homem solitário que está de pé
Nas sombras das ruas
Você foi deixado sozinho sem ninguém ao seu lado
Você se esconde do dia, vivendo na noite
Você não tem amigos, você não pode confiar em ninguém
Exceto em você mesmo
A única sombra que está ao seu lado
É a sombra de Lúcifer
Rindo com um sorriso satanico
E sua amiga morte afia sua foice
Você não quer morrer, né? Mas você vai
Você vai queimar no inferno!
Refrão
Voe alto, toque o céu, você irá morrer!
