Satan's Song
Embrace the Abyss: The Unrelenting Grasp of Darkness in 'Satan's Song'
Lyrics
The Devil lives in me
The speaker acknowledges the presence of evil within themselves.
And the Devil, He lives in you
Asserts that others also harbor the Devil within them.
And He'll take your soul
Warns that the Devil will claim one's soul after death.
Just as soon as your life is through
Emphasizes the inevitability of the Devil taking souls after life ends.
And you can kick you can scream
Despite resistance, the Devil's influence is strong and unyielding.
You can fight all night oh but
Highlights the futility of fighting against Satan.
Satan’s grip is much too tight oh yes
Expresses the overwhelming and inescapable nature of Satan's control.
Satan's grip is much too tight
Reiterates the firm grip of Satan, underscoring its strength.
And you can hope for heaven
Suggests the possibility of hoping for salvation or a better afterlife.
For all that it's worth
Questions the value or effectiveness of hoping for heaven.
But the Beast has had His
Indicates that the Devil has been observing and tracking the individual.
Eye on you since birth
Reiterates the idea that the Devil has been watching since birth.
Yes, the Beast has had His
Repeats the notion of continuous observation by the Devil.
Eye on you since birth
Emphasizes the persistent scrutiny of the individual by the Devil.
So take my hand
Invites the listener to join the speaker on a journey.
And I’ll deliver you to your promised land
Offers to guide the listener to their destined afterlife.
Because we are all good sinners
Acknowledges the shared sinful nature of humanity.
And we are sure to go
Anticipates the collective destiny of facing punishment in the afterlife.
To that fire and brimstone that
Describes the punishment of fire and brimstone awaiting in the underworld.
Is waiting down below
Underlines the inevitability of facing consequences in the afterlife.
Yes, we are all good sinners
Reiterates the idea of humanity sharing a sinful nature.
And we are sure to go
Restates the collective fate of facing punishment in the afterlife.
To that fire and brimstone that
Reiterates the concept of a punishment of fire and brimstone below.
Is waiting down below
Repeats the notion of inevitable consequences in the afterlife.
So get down on your knees
Advises humility and supplication through kneeling and praying.
And pray to your Lord for your soul to keep
Encourages seeking salvation from a higher power.
Oh yes
Asserts that nothing can prevent the descent into a fiery afterlife.
Nothing can save you from that fiery deep
Emphasizes the inevitability of facing consequences in the underworld.
Nothing can save you from that fiery deep
Reiterates the helplessness in avoiding punishment in the afterlife.
You know there ain't no saving me
Declares the speaker's lack of salvation, reinforcing a sense of doom.
