TORMENTOR
The lyrics of Tormentor's song "Tormentor I" present a bleak and cynical view of the world. The opening lines, "Born in/Is the sin," suggest that all humans are inherently sinful just by the fact of their existence. The next line, "Should I/Be good for others," hints at the futility of trying to be a moral or ethical person in a world that seems to be ruled by selfishness and violence. The verses that follow describe some of the many ways in which the world is a dark and dangerous place, including "machines creating death," "acid rain," and "war everywhere." The chorus repeats the name "Tormentor" and suggests that this world is itself a tormentor, or that tormentor is a force within the world that is responsible for its many evils.
The second verse continues the theme of human violence and cruelty, with the line "murdering/is the pleasure of human." The next lines suggest that people are unafraid to face the consequences of their actions, and that they see the world itself as a tormentor. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that the world is a place of torment and suffering. The final lines of the song suggest that the end is near, and that the world is doomed to destruction.
