Lyrics
Down, down, down below the grave
Descending deeply into a grave or dark place
Heaven has turned away
God or heaven has turned away or distanced itself
Dust, dust, dust will be his feed
Metaphorical reference to the demise of an individual, implying mortality
A lethal blow to end his days
Implying a fatal or fatalistic conclusion to someone's life
Lies, lies, lies are all he speaks
The person speaks only falsehoods or untruths
Contamination of your mind
Corruption or pollution of one's thoughts or beliefs
Dark, dark, darkness fills you eyes
Reference to a deep darkness clouding one's vision or understanding
Delusion trys to make you blind
Attempts to deceive or mislead, causing blindness to truth or reality
He's like a beast who lies in hiding
Describing a deceptive and hidden nature similar to a lurking beast
A mercenary of deceit
Comparing the deceptive individual to a hired soldier of lies
I hear the tolling of the death bell
Sensing or perceiving the approach of an end or downfall
I see his ultimate defeat
Observing the final defeat or failure of the deceptive entity
He is the Black Snake of rebellion
Characterizing the person as a symbol of rebellion and darkness
He is the slayer of the young
Portraying the individual as a destroyer or killer of the young
He is the hellborn of the angels
Depicting the person as being born of hell or evil forces
His destiny will be the flames
Predicting the person's fate as being consumed by flames or destruction
Death, death, death is all around
Awareness of death's pervasive presence
But you can surely break away
Encouragement to break free from the influence of death or darkness
Blood, blood, blood has paid the price
Suggesting a payment or sacrifice through blood for redemption
The Prince of Peace will show the way
Belief in the guidance of the Prince of Peace (likely referring to Jesus) to show the path
He who is in me is greater
Assertion of the greater power within oneself (spiritually)
Than he who is in the world
Reiteration of the superiority of the power within oneself over the worldly evil
He who is in me is greater
Reasserting the greater strength within
Than he who is in the world
Reiterating the contrast between the power within oneself and the power of the world's evils
