Tormentor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think over how you will decide
You can read "Who enters here
give up all your faith"
Falling down
Like a stone... down... miserable man
Into empire of fire and blood
Why did you need this you poor man
You'd stay a god fearing man
Falling down
Like a stone... down... you miserable man
The torments of Hell are terribly horrible
The depth digest you damned cold body
Your blood is burning, while you're freezing
Icy winds are bursting over your face
Falling down
Like a stone... down... miserable man
