Tormentor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Death is not survival
Your life was frail
You always broke the laws of god

I've got your brain 'cause
You don't need it anymore
Here is no what you have to think about

Something has changed around you
It's not that world yet
Soon I will meet with you

It's too late to cry
I'm waiting for you here
This is the world of fallen angels

I always hated you
And I always helped you
But we always were enemies

When I was with you
I was always against you
And from now the inside pain will burn you

TORMENTOR - black fire
TORMENTOR - frosty winds
TORMENTOR - this time
TORMENTOR - this space
TORMENTOR - to hear that laughing voice:
"It's a long time you'll get out from here"

You murdered 'cause you were coward
You were raging by me
Why were you in league with me
I made you possessed!

You were good looking
And you had all you wanted

But those times are over
I made you obsessed

Line by Line Meaning

Death is not survival
Survival does not equate to simply avoiding death

Your life was frail
You lived a fragile, weak existence

You always broke the laws of god
You frequently disobeyed the laws or commandments of a higher power

I've got your brain 'cause
I possess your mind because

You don't need it anymore
You are no longer alive to utilize it

Here is no what you have to think about
There is nothing for you to contemplate in your current state

Something has changed around you
The environment or atmosphere around you has shifted

It's not that world yet
It is not the world you are familiar with

Soon I will meet with you
I will soon encounter or confront you

It's too late to cry
There is no point in shedding tears now

I'm waiting for you here
I am waiting for you in this place

This is the world of fallen angels
This realm is inhabited by corrupted or rebellious angels

I always hated you
I have always harbored animosity or loathing towards you

And I always helped you
Despite my hatred, I frequently assisted you

But we always were enemies
Despite the surface-level help, we remained adversaries

When I was with you
During the times we spent together

I was always against you
My feelings of hostility towards you remained unchanged

And from now the inside pain will burn you
Internal anguish will torment you from this moment onwards

You were raging by me
You were violently and angrily acting alongside me

Why were you in league with me
Why did you choose to ally yourself with me?

I made you possessed!
I have caused you to become completely controlled or influenced by my influence or will.

You were good looking
You possessed physical beauty

And you had all you wanted
You obtained or achieved everything you desired

But those times are over
Those experiences or opportunities are now in the past

I made you obsessed
I have caused you to become overwhelmingly fixated or preoccupied with something.
