World Ender
Lord Huron Lyrics

I had a name but they took it from me
I used to have an identity, but it was taken away from me.

I was the man that I wanted to be
I used to be the person I aspired to be.

I had a place where I lay my head
I used to have a home where I felt safe and comfortable.

They burnt it to the ground and the sky turned red
My home was destroyed, and the aftermath was devastating.

I had a life and a place in the world
I had a life with purpose and meaning.

I had a sweet talkin' wife and a beautiful girl
I had a loving family who meant everything to me.

I know I'm never gonna see 'em again
I have come to terms with the fact that I will never see my family again.

Gonna tear the world up until I have my revenge
I will not rest until I have avenged what was taken from me.

They took my life but it isn't the end
Although my life was taken, I am still alive.

They put me in the ground but I'm back from the dead
I was buried, but somehow I was brought back to life.

Oh I'm the World Ender baby and I'm coming for you
I am a force to be reckoned with, and I am coming for those who wronged me.

You'll hear me howl by the light of the moon
My presence will be known by my haunting howls in the night.

That's how you'll know that I'm coming for you
My howls will serve as a warning that I am coming for those who wronged me.

Gonna find you alone in the dark of night
I will seek those who wronged me in the cover of darkness.

When the World Ender comes better run for your life
Those who wronged me should fear my wrath and run for their lives.

I'll never bleed and I won't ever age
I have been given some sort of immortality and will never grow old or die.

I'll never feel the embrace of the grave
I will never experience death.

The fair and the brave and the good must die
Even the best of us will meet our demise.

I seen the other side of living, I know heaven's a lie
I have come back from the dead and have realized that there is no afterlife.

I'll tear through the night, and I'll raise some hell
I will cause chaos and destruction as I seek revenge.

'Cause I'm the World Ender, baby and I'm back from the dead
I have been resurrected as the World Ender and will bring an end to those who wronged me.

Lord knows I should be pushing daisies
I should be dead and buried in the ground.

I was 6 feet down, but something raised me up
Despite being buried, something brought me back to life.

Sent back for to lift my curse
I have been brought back to right the wrongs that were done to me.

I'm gonna get me a taste of some chaos first
Before seeking revenge, I will cause destruction and chaos.

Untied, gonna get little wild
I will let loose and be free, embracing my wild side.

Go screaming through the dark like a demon child
I will move through the darkness with fervor and intensity.

Close your eyes now, the light is fading
I will bring an end to those who have wronged me, and the light will fade from them forever.

And the noise in the night is gonna get a little louder, baby
As I seek revenge, the world around me will become increasingly chaotic and louder.

They can run for their lives but they cannot be saved
Those who wronged me can try to run away, but they will not be able to escape their fate.

I'm the World Ender, baby, and I'm coming for them
I am the World Ender, and I am coming for those who wronged me.

They put me in the ground but I'm back from the dead
Despite being buried, I have been brought back to life and will seek revenge.
