The Man Named Hell
The Showdown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leather up and grab your axe
There's no better time to die
Scale the walls, destroy the doors
No respect for the demon's cry
No fury like mine
Hell, hell, hath dominion of air and sky
I reject and deny its right
To the source of a debt
Owed to a man named hell
Follow us down
To the man named hell
Take back the crown
From the man named hell
The night we own
We'll claim his throne
Execute the winged spawn
Their domain overrun
Burn the gates, no escape
Metal-clad we ride to die
Or be free of your curse
Hell, hell hath dominion of air and sky
I reject and deny its right
Pride, selling our souls
To the source of a debt
Owed to a man named hell
Follow us down
To the man named hell
Take back the crown
From the man named hell
Follow us down
Follow us down
Follow us down
To the man named hell
The Showdown's song, The Man Named Hell, is a high-energy battle cry that celebrates the power of human will in the face of dark circumstances. The lyrics describe a group of warriors who have decided to take back their freedom from the clutches of Hell, personified as a monstrous figure with dominion over the air and sky. The opening line, "Through the mouth of Hell, we rise," sets the tone for the song as one of defiance and courage in the face of overwhelming odds.
The repeated refrain, "Follow us down to the man named Hell, take back the crown from the man named Hell," underscores the sense of purpose and urgency behind the warriors' mission. They are not content to simply survive or hide from Hell's power - they actively seek to overthrow it and establish themselves as rulers in their own right. The heavy use of metal imagery and language throughout the song adds to the ferocity and strength of the warriors' determination. Ultimately, The Man Named Hell is a call to arms for anyone who feels trapped or oppressed by their circumstances, reminding them that they have the power within themselves to fight back and claim their own destiny.
