Destiny
Leather Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Weary but restless the sky is dyed in bloody black
Sacred knowledge hides behind sinister smiles

He hides like a shadow
His wings in the dark
He rips off and swallows
Whatever he finds
He can smell your fear
And his claws are made of steel

Beware of his eyes
Cause he'll probably attack
Don't try to run
You will be caught
Praying for your god

Somewhere, behind clouds of midnight
Somewhere, devouring your soul
They don't watch so I attack

The power of madness
Is claiming my brain
His meaning is evil
And it feeds on pain

Forget who i was
Tonight you'll see im not the same

Im just a sinner I've lost every hope
Nothing can stop me Im strong as a god
Never fail the crow

Somewhere, behind clouds of midnight
Somewhere, devouring your soul
They don't watch so i attack

I hide in the dark I broke all the chains
Just live life Forget 'bout your grave

I reign in hell
Im the one who died in vain And im the soul which never ends

Die for the crow
Cause he wants to bring you down And steal your crown And be the king, dont turn around





Nothing brings me down
Dont turn around

Escucho esta canción a todas horas, cuando me levanto, cuando voy a trabajar, cuando salgo del trabajo, cuando tengo un mal día, cuando estoy feliz...son la regla que confirma que en España tenemos músicos de la hostia, les doy las gracias por devolverme a los 80 cada día . Un saludo y mis respetos heavys, y sigan señores y demuestren lo heavys que somos, que gente como yo nos quedamos en el camino y nunca saldremos, pero sentir orgullo por ustedes es poco y quedarme corto. Un abrazo
