Demon Hunter- A Broken Upper Hand + Lyrics

9. A Broken Upper Hand

Trapped behind my state of mind, I took your words and now I'm blind.

And everything you've given just kills me.
Your words swarm me through my soul like locusts.

Eating away at any glimpse of focus.
Their eyes flaming red like pain.
Filling the void once righteous and bloodstained.
But words can't kill the light inside me that tears me from the hate that binds me.
I feel it crawling up my spine.
But I'll cut it off before it reaches the bloodline.
You'll never fade me out, you'll never turn me off.
You'll never reach the end, you'll never hear enough.
You're half-grasp can't exterminate my stand.
You can't rule with a broken upper hand.
A fragment of what's been left behind.
Trapped behind my state of mind, I took your words and now I'm blind.

And everything you've given just kills me.
Your face brings out the hate that rots me.

The face of everyday that haunts me.
I can't pull away my blank stare.
A thousand times should prove I don't care.
But hands can't steal the light that makes me.
Or bring me to the fate that breaks me I feel it crawling up my spine.
But I'll cut it off before it reaches the bloodline.
You'll never fade me out, you'll never turn me off.
You'll never reach the end, you'll never hear enough.
You're the half-grasp can't exterminate my stand.
You can't rule with a broken upper hand.
A fragment of what's been left behind.
Trapped behind my state of mind, I took your words and now I'm blind.

And everything you've given just kills me.

@coolme9678

It's a demon skull with a bullet through the head. Hence the name of the band.

[MrBluedevil0913]

well people theres another side of christianity i like to call it the Hunters side

[RC1312Kad]

@awesomeJoz Well, whether you agree with the lyrics, their passion is driven by their beliefs, so for them to perform music without the message that they are preaching wouldn't mean as much, and that'd likely be reflected in their music.

You take out their reason to play, and the passion in the music is gone.

@awesomeJoz But they are all Christians they should do it the bible say's too praise and tell about God and they do with their lyrics

[awesomeJoz]

@TheKornkornkorn

Well, I wasn't really pointing at the fact that the band members are religious, more at the fact that they include lyrics that are religious in context. Me, being the atheist that I am, think the band would be much better without this.

@awesomeJoz What does religion need to do with anything I am a devoute Christian who still loves this band so does it really matter about religion

[ForeverAdommyLove]

@coolme9678 Their name is Demon Hunter, so the skull is like a demon with a bullet through it's head

[Lordgale119]
