Morte et Dabo Lyrics

So he came forth and said unto me
Son, you are forsaken
Condemned for the sins that you led
I offer you forgiveness
I offer you forgiveness

Bow down before me
Bow down before me

I will never bow to he who claims to be divine
I'll tear down your gates with my bare fucking hands
And burn the world that you rule over
No matter how convinced you are, you're not a god of mine
You're not a fucking god of mine

I never believed in you
From what I see it was justified
I never believed in you, in you

This power over the masses is a gift you don't deserve
When your blood spills, we'll drink from your skull
You can run, you can hide

Bitch
I'll fucking find you
I'll tear your eyes out of your self-righteous face

Lord
I'll fucking find you
I'll tear your tongue out of your rancid fucking mouth

Heaven will, burn to the fucking ground
Your world will crumble, and fall from the skies
Blood will spill, and rain upon the earth
Your reign is over, and I'll wear your crown

This is your demise
I know you feel it in your chest
This is your demise
It's getting closer

This is your demise
I'm creeping from the depths of hell
This is your demise
I know where you sleep

I never believed in you
From what I can see it was justified
I never believed in you, in you

What a way to end the world
With false hope in a false god

What a way to end the world
With false hope in you

What is the Meaning of Morte et Dabo?

In a maelstrom of rebellion and defiance, the lyrics paint a portrait of an individual rejecting false divinity and oppressive power. The speaker is not just turning away from a self-proclaimed god, but actively revolting against an unjust regime. With fiery determination, they vow to dismantle illusions of grandeur and emerge as the harbinger of collapse. This anthem of insurrection embodies the raw essence of disbelief in manipulated reverence and the destruction of deceitful idols. The violent imagery and intense rhetoric underscore the urgency of liberation from tyrannical rule. As heaven is set ablaze and blood rains upon the earth, the cries of resistance echo through the song's core, celebrating the courage to rise against deception and take down the thrones of hypocrisy. Through this visceral expression of defiance, the song beckons listeners to question authority and embrace the power of truth.
