Possession
Witchburner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hateful roars -- from iron throats
cutting riffs -- angry guitars
pounding bass - the pulse of death
rumbling drums -- like machineguns

morbid tunes from the deepest dephts, hymns of steel from the Underground,
absolute power thrashing wild, praise the hellish sound!
A raging fire -- burns deep inside
loyal hearts -- filled with pride
Our souls belong -- to the dark
Heavy Metal -- It´s in our blood!

evil tunes straight from Hell, blackest hymns from beyond
under the sign of the horns, praise the demonic sound

Possession -- Obsession
obesessed by metallic rage
Possession -- Addiction
addicted to chaotic riffs
Possession - Aggression
aggressive hammering sound
Possession -- Devotion
Devotion to the Metal Cult

Maniacs -- come on!

Dedicated - Forever Possessed
we honour the -- old legacy
we worship- ancient necrosounds
the wisdom that -- old heros brought

vinyl hunter, tape trader, maniacs and headbangers
metalheads and worshippers, united by the oath we've sworn

normal way of life -- we don´t need
our hellish noise -- make your ears bleed
power and might -- ready to figth
amoured with -- chains and spikes

Evil spells straight from Hell, blackest hymns from beyond
in the sign of the Antichrist, praise the demonic sound

Possession -- Obsession
obesessed by metallic rage
Possession -- Addiction
addicted to chaotic riffs
Possession - Aggression
aggressive hammering sound




Possession -- Devotion
Devotion to the Metal Cult
