Lyrics

I Am Hell (Sonata In C#)

Sangre sani, sangre sani

Sangre sani, sangre sani

Sangre sani, sangre sani

I am death

Arms held outstretched

I am hell

Born this mortal shell

I am wrath

Take this bloodbath

God sent me to kill you

What started out as wonder

The smell of scorched earth

It filled me with a sense of bliss

Inside my head the noises how 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

Love's 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

Not 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

Rise the ashes of your immolation

I Am Hell

In the ashes of your immolation

I Am Hell

In the ashes of your immolation
