Cometh Down Hessian
High on Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Enter stoned paravex
Mother of the seekers
Cometh down Hessian
Plunder the archaic tomb

Stolen ancient amulet
Black the hexed sarcophagus
Summoning the hound
Bringer of impending doom
Impending doom

Necromatic lunatics
Murder of the innocents
Stepping on the curse
Inflicting it's beastious wounds

Undo the evil spell
Dig the graves demise
Unveiling the horror
Hair covered corpse, now, will lie

Enter stoned paravex
Mother of the seekers
Cometh down Hessian
Plunder the archaic tomb

Stolen ancient amulet
Black the hexed sarcophagus
Summoning the hound
Bringer of impending doom
Impending doom

Necromatic lunatics
Murder of the innocents
Stepping on the curse
Inflicting it's beastious wounds

Undo the evil spell
Dig the graves demise




Unveiling the horror
Hair covered corpse, now, will lie
