slave
Manntra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eternal darkness
A taste of flesh that burned in hell
No justice
Sharping my blade made me insane
Calling
Grinding teeth when lights go out
I've been starving
I've been looking for your heritage.

Lie down into my grave

Serve me just like a slave
You'll be my prey
I'll never let go
Hunting only at night
I'll eat you alive
Remember the light
Remember the light.

Crawling
The sound of scratches on the wall
I'm growling
I'll take away your innocence
Flawless
Stainless steel beneath the rust
I'm starving
I've been looking for a sharper edge

Lie down into my grave,
lie down into my grave.

Serve me just like a slave
You'll be my prey
I'll never let go
Hunting only at night




I'll eat you alive
Remember the light.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Manntra's song "Slave" paint a picture of a dark, oppressive world where the singer is fueled by an intense hunger and thirst for power. The opening lyrics, "eternal darkness, a taste of flesh that burned in hell, no justice, sharpening my blade made me insane," set the tone for the rest of the song. It is apparent that the singer is on a constant quest for power, which he uses to control those around him. The lyrics "Serve me just like a slave, you'll be my prey, I'll never let go" are an assertion of the singer's dominance.


The singer's hunger for power is further highlighted in the lyric, "I've been starving, I've been looking for your heritage." Here, it is clear that the singer is not content with ruling just himself but seeks to subjugate and control others. The obsessive nature of his quest for power is portrayed in the lyrics, "calling, grinding teeth when lights go out, crawling, the sound of scratches on the wall, I'm growling, I'll take away your innocence." The constant hunger and desire to feed on others is a key element of this song.


The lyrics, "hunting only at night, I'll eat you alive, remember the light" offer a semblance of hope. It offers a warning to those who fall prey to the singer's power play to remember the light, to hold onto a shred of hope.
