Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Staring into the depths of pain darkness and suffering.
I will not be moved from this place, inside of me.
Until I understand this part of me that bleeds and captures my spirit.
If it's the death of me, then I will losen it's grip.
Protect me from the hell that burns inside of me.
No one can see this is the hell in me.
Bring light into the darkness.
Reveal my true intentions.
No one can see this is the hell in me.
Will you set me free?
This is the hell in me.
Lead me out of the darkness.
Strengthen and protect the voice that makes no sound.
Suffer and bleed for me.
Pulled from the hell that is in me.
Set me free.
Protect me from the hell that burns inside of me.
No one can see this is the hell in me.
Will you set me free?
This is the hell in me.
