Burn in Hell
on the head Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arms held outstretched
I am hell
Born this mortal shell
I am wrath
Take this bloodbath
God sent me to kill you
The smell of scorched earth
It filled me with a sense of bliss
Inside my head the noises show they thundered
With cracking and hiss
One match
Killed the anguish
One act
Left me fulfilled
Destruction now the only catalyst
To save this soul
From these thoughtless kills
Where once a heart was beating
Nothing but embers glow
Our love it serves as kindling
To stoke this flames inferno
I am hell to thee
Down here all shall suffer with me
Die purified
Rise the ashes to the sky
Obsession born of young lust
Incomprehensible the feelings as they come to pass
But now betrayal slowly turns to bloodlust
Through sulphur and gas
Ignite this crime of passion
Loves pyre is set a blaze
The charred remains of all
Compassion was the spark that lit
Your immolation
Where once a heart was beating
Nothing but embers glow
Our love it serves as kindling
To stoke this flames inferno
I am hell to thee
Down here all shall suffer with me
Die purified
Rise the ashes to the sky
So burn
I'll burn it down
I'll burn you down
So you'll never love again (again)
Where once a heart was beating
Nothing but embers glow
Our love it serves as kindling
To stoke this flames inferno
I am hell to thee
Down here all shall suffer with me
Die purified
In this the ashes of your immolation
I
Am
Hell
In the ashes of your immolation

I am death
I represent death
Arms held outstretched
My arms are open and ready to claim those who must die
I am hell
I am the embodiment of hell itself
Born this mortal shell
I exist in this physical form
I am wrath
I embody wrath and anger
Take this bloodbath
Experience the violent and intense destruction that I bring
God sent me to kill you
I am carrying out God's plan by bringing death upon you
What started out as wonder
What began as curiosity
The smell of scorched earth
The scent of burning ground
It filled me with a sense of bliss
It brought me pleasure
Inside my head the noises show they thundered
The sounds in my mind were deafening
With cracking and hiss
The sounds of fire and destruction filled the air
One match
Just one small flame
Killed the anguish
Ended the emotional pain
One act
One specific action
Left me fulfilled
Brought me satisfaction
Destruction now the only catalyst
The only thing that motivates me is destruction
To save this soul
In an attempt to redeem myself
From these thoughtless kills
From the mindless deaths I have caused
Our love it serves as kindling
The love we shared fuels the flames of destruction
To stoke this flames inferno
To intensify the fire I have created
Obsession born of young lust
An unhealthy fixation that originated from sexual desire
Incomprehensible the feelings as they come to pass
The emotions are difficult to understand as they arise
But now betrayal slowly turns to bloodlust
The feeling of being betrayed has transformed into a desire for violence
Through sulphur and gas
Amidst the stench of toxic fumes
Ignite this crime of passion
Begin this violent act of love
Loves pyre is set a blaze
The fire of love is now burning out of control
The charred remains of all
The destroyed remnants of everything
Compassion was the spark that lit
A feeling of empathy and kindness ignited the flames of destruction
So burn
Experience the intense destruction that I bring
I'll burn it down
I will completely destroy everything
I'll burn you down
I will bring destruction upon you
So you'll never love again (again)
So that you will never feel love again
In this the ashes of your immolation
In these remains after you have been burned alive
I am hell to thee
I bring hell upon you
Down here all shall suffer with me
Everyone in this place will suffer together
Die purified
Experience a painful and final purification through death
Rise the ashes to the sky
Your remains will be scattered to the heavens
I
I
Am
Am
Hell
Hell
In the ashes of your immolation
After I have burned you alive
