Pay for your Sins
Lethal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Satanic rites
Summoning demons from the past
Caught
Standing on trial
The water will show how long you'll last
Treachery towards our Lord
Sentenced
Death at the stake
In hell you shall awake
Now it's time to
PAY FOR YOUR SINS
PAY WITH YOUR LIFE
PAY FOR YOUR SINS
SENTENCED TO BURN
Solo: Bob
Sorcery
Vile rituals
Desecrating the Lord's name
Proven
Justice now served
Fear not, now you're cleansed by flames
Now when flames reach for the sky
Smoke lifts, taking your soul up high
Tried again
Before God himself
Forever doomed to burn in hell
Now it's time to
PAY FOR YOUR SINS
PAY WITH YOUR LIFE
PAY FOR YOUR SINS
SENTENCED TO BURN
Now it's time to
PAY FOR YOUR SINS
PAY WITH YOUR LIFE
PAY FOR YOUR SINS
PAY WITH YOUR LIFE
PAY FOR YOUR SINS
PAY WITH YOUR LIFE
PAY FOR YOUR SINS
SENTENCED TO BURN
The lyrics of "Pay for your Sins" by Lethal are about witchcraft and the punishment that witches had to face during the medieval period. The song describes how witches used to perform Satanic rituals and summon demons from the past, which were considered blasphemous acts against God. The lyrics then go on to explain how the witches were caught and put on trial, where they were made to undergo the trial by water. The trial by water was a medieval practice where the accused was tied up and thrown into a river or lake. If they failed to float and sank to the bottom, they were innocent, but if they floated, they were guilty of witchcraft and sentenced to death.
The song also highlights the treachery of the witches towards God and how they were sentenced to death at the stake. The lyrics end with the imagery of the witches burning in flames and being punished for their sins. Overall, the song conveys the message that anyone who goes against God and indulges in blasphemous practices will ultimately pay for their sins and be punished.
