Lady Killer
Priestess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the darkness will burn
Recalling pictures of olden days
All these feelings return
If you're breathing you've been afraid
In the shadows remain
I'll be stalking you night and day
Till you share all my pain
Now we step into the fire
Beware you will pay
Ladykiller
I swear you will pay
Ladykiller
Bait the killer and lie in wait
Till the morning unfolds
Now he's feeding on my mistakes
And the trail has run cold
All the violence that fills the world
Leaving nothing for shame
This is when so much pain will call out
Such things I have learned
Hear my vow and fear my vengeance
Beware you will pay
Ladykiller
I swear you will pay
Ladykiller

The lyrics "Turn the scissors with open blades, all the darkness will burn" depict the person's determination to bring an end to the killer's dark ways. The phrase "If you're breathing, you've been afraid" further emphasizes how the person is always on edge and how their fear has taken over their lives. The lyrics "Now we step into the fire" show the singer's determination to face the danger head-on and get their revenge, whatever it may cost them.
The chorus of the song, "Beware you will pay, Ladykiller, I swear you will pay, Ladykiller" highlights the relentless pursuit of the singer as they plan to hunt down the killer and make them pay for their crimes. The lyrics "Bait the killer and lie in wait, till the morning unfolds" describes the singer's tactical approach to trapping the killer, hiding in wait until the perfect opportunity arises.
The song's lyrics address a dark and complex theme that deals with a killer's mindset and the overpowering fear victims experience. The track's heavy metal sound adds power to the lyrics, making them even more potent.

Turn the scissors with open blades
Use the sharp edges of the scissors to open up your own inner darkness
All the darkness will burn
The light of self-awareness will burn away the darkness
Recalling pictures of olden days
Nostalgia brings back memories of more innocent times
All these feelings return
The pain of the past resurfaces
If you're breathing you've been afraid
Living means experiencing fear
In the shadows remain
The dark parts of ourselves often stay hidden
I'll be stalking you night and day
The demons within us are always present
Till you share all my pain
Only by sharing our pain can we find release
Now we step into the fire
We must confront our fears and face the pain
Beware you will pay
There are consequences for our actions
Ladykiller
The one who takes lives
I swear you will pay
Justice will be served
Bait the killer and lie in wait
Set a trap and wait for the killer to come
Till the morning unfolds
Keep waiting until the sun rises and reveals the truth
Now he's feeding on my mistakes
The killer is taking advantage of my errors
And the trail has run cold
The clues have dried up and the trail has gone cold
All the violence that fills the world
The pervasive presence of violence in our society
Leaving nothing for shame
We've become desensitized to the shame and horror of violence
This is when so much pain will call out
The pain becomes unbearable
Such things I have learned
Through suffering, I have gained knowledge
Hear my vow and fear my vengeance
I will seek retribution
Beware you will pay
Justice will be served
Ladykiller
The one who takes lives
I swear you will pay
Justice will be served

@claytonjanzen506
Still loving this song in 2021
@zachk1983
I swear that this is the best band to come out in 20 years! Spread the word, Priestess kicks ass!
@markjaye8182
From time to time I check the internet, youtube, streaming music services, anything I can think of to find out what happened to this amazing band... And nothing. I've been a music fanatic, former DJ (college radio and 80's alt rock club DJ) and all around music junkie since my high school days in the 70's with Zepplin, Rush, AC/DC, Black Sabbath and the list goes on... I love Priestess and hope against hope that they reunite, reform or whatever they want to call it, to put out their amazing brand of rock music again. Mikey Heppner, if you ever read this, please give us more Priestess!!! The rock gods, fans and I will all thank you!
@CrazyGabb
Wow, another amazing song by Priestess ! The singer has a gorgeous voice.
@Schoobs31
Mastodon deserves a good band to tour with. Tour again.
