Misery
The Fallen Prophets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
7 years of darkness upon you
Creatures of the depths will feast
Tearing away your fear and flesh
Going nowhere
Trapped under lock and key
Trapped now for eternity to be
No use for breaking free
They are more powerful than you and me
Laying in your tomb
Your wounds won't heal soon
And now your flesh turns to ash
Now your breaking down inside
And you're still wondering why
The time has come
To make peace with what you've become
Live your way or
Die in Hell
Fall into the pits of Hell
Burn you have forsaken me
Now revenge is mine
Now you will see my pain and misery
Fall into the pits of Hell
Burn you have forsaken me
Now revenge is mine
Now you will see my pain and misery
Now that you're not welcome anymore
Thrown into the mountains core
There you will die
And see the things you have done to me
Now go on or I'll break your life
And now your flesh turns to ash
Live your way or
Die in Hell
Fall into the pits of Hell
Burn you have forsaken me
Now revenge is mine
Now you will see my pain and misery
Fall into the pits of Hell
Burn you have forsaken me
Now revenge is mine
Now you will see my pain and misery
