Fade Away
Seventh Star Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where will the blood of the children you kill lay to rest? On your hands. Their silent cries fade away into a forgotten darkness. So what if you were used. Does that give you the right to kill? If adoption were an option, would you take it? Can't you see it is? The person inside melts away to an endless nothing in your mind. A lie told in schools just to make you happy. They die because of a selfish plea. You call it a choice? I call it murder! Murder is the same before or after birth. Will you kill them like a pagan practice? Ripping apart a family before it even starts. You throw their souls on a fire of an evil altar. God will forgive these evil deeds. To take life is hate. To give is beautiful. Beautiful life taken away.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Fade Away" by Seventh Star address the sensitive issue of abortion. The song tries to send out a message to people who opt to abort their child for personal reasons. The lyrics question the morality of killing an innocent life and the impact it has on the killer's psyche. It talks about the blood of the children that the killer will have to bear on their hands, which will haunt them for the rest of their lives. The silent cries of the children fade away into a forgotten darkness, indicating how society tends to overlook this grave issue.


The person inside, referring to the unborn child, melts away to nothingness in the killer's mind. The lyrics shed light on the fact that the "choice" of ending an innocent life is not a right but an act of murder. The songwriter compares abortion to a pagan practice where a family is ripped apart before it even starts. Aborting a child is like throwing their souls on an altar of evil, and the consequences will undoubtedly follow. The lyrics also emphasize that giving life is beautiful, and taking it away is hate. The songwriter firmly believes that God will not forgive these evil deeds and that justice will follow.
