I Will Come For You
Virgin Steele Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under tortured skies from a land with no sun
I will come for you
From seven points of darkness
Beyond the mountains and the ruins
I will come for you
Across the fields of rage and yearning
With power in my hand
I will return, I will return

Once we had beauty our Sun blazcd in passion
We lived alive
Far from the reaching of closed minded preaching
We lived and died

Now all in darkness we wait for the end,
Hunted by men of the cloth
Murder and torture, they rape and they slaughter
Claiming the way of the cross

Cast out from Eden baptized inta treason
With sighless eyes
Lost clouds of reason, false hope burning season
A godless lie

Whose god is stronger, who's made by its hand
Primitive blood stains the sand
Murder and torture they're raping your daughter
Drunk with the blood of the lamb

Fair child of the desolation cry to me,
Under stars that have died
Under skies of pain we are born
Yea we are born, forever we'll be
Oh my love I'll defy death and meet on holy ground

Under tortured skies from a land with no sun
I will come for you
From seven points of darkness
Beyond the mountains and the ruins
I will come for you
Across the fields of rage and yearning
With power in my hand
I will return, I will return

Now like the sun, like the wind and the rain
I'll return like a storm, I will rise once again




Across the oceans of time I am called by your voice
I'll return, I will return!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Virgin Steele's "I Will Come for You" describe a desolate and dark world, where the sun no longer shines and humanity is hunted by the "men of the cloth" who claim to follow the way of the cross. Despite the darkness, the singer vows to come for his beloved, no matter how far he must travel or how dangerous the journey may be. He promises to return with power in his hand and defy death to meet on holy ground.


The verses contrast the world as it once was, full of beauty and passion, with the present-day world of darkness, torture and death. The singer and his love are both cast out from Eden and baptized into treason. The lyrics suggest that the loss of faith has led to a world of war and torture, where innocent people are killed and faith cannot save them. However, the singer's vow to return to his love gives some hope in an otherwise bleak world.


The chorus emphasizes the singer's determination to return to his love and use his power to defy death. He likens himself to natural phenomena like the sun, wind and rain, promising to rise once again and be called by his lover's voice.
