Sea of Blood
Hexenhaus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the shining steel cuts through your skin
Let the feast now begin
The lust of blood posesses my mind
I'm burning deep within
I'm the one to end it all
When you feel the blade penetrate your flesh
A rendez-vous with your fate
Screams in the night
A sacrificial rite
The outcome of my hate
Oh, can't you see it in my eyes
I'm an evil devil in disguise
A temptation makes me kill the innocent sacrifice
A soul set free to fly up from the sea of blood
A mutilation in cold blood
All performed in demetia
I enticed you, my child with malicious intent
No tears at regret will ever stain my eyes
[Lead : Marco & Mike / Theme : Mike & Marco]
Violent morbid deeps echoes in my head
Thoughts of maim in the past
Stabbed in the back
Delivered to death
I'll escape the corpse at last
Intoxicated by your cries
I'll find a new child to entice
A temptation makes me kill the innocent sacrifice
A soul set free to fly up from the sea of blood
The song "Sea of Blood" by Hexenhaus is a haunting, metal-infused exploration of violence and blood-lust. The opening lyrics, "As the shining steel cuts through your skin, Let the feast now begin," illustrate the gruesome nature of the song. The singer's mind is possessed by the lust for blood, a feeling that burns deep within him. He feels empowered by the act of killing, as he believes he is the one to "end it all."
The chorus is equally disturbing, as the singer describes his temptation to kill "the innocent sacrifice." This is a clear indication that the violence is not directed towards those who have wronged him but is rather a sadistic act of pleasure. The imagery is violent and vivid, especially when he sings about "a mutilation in cold blood" and "the outcome of my hate." The singer's tone is menacing and the lyrics suggest that he is a malevolent force to be reckoned with.
The closing passages are perhaps the most chilling, as the singer admits to enticement and malice, and revels in the fact that he feels no regret for his actions. The last lines evoke a sense of terror, as the singer admits that he will "find a new child to entice." Overall, "Sea of Blood" is a terrifying depiction of violence and the psychology of a sadistic killer.
