Driving Down The Darkness Lyrics
Beat down through worlds
This time it's crossed the line
Beware of what's behind
Wolfs coming quick to kill you
Currents running strong
Think your right, wrong
Look, it's long gone
Look, it's long gone
Stick it to yourself
Hold your own
Stay strong in the sight of insanity
Driving down the darkness
Stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness
While you play god (with my life)
Me against them, no stopping
Time for action not talking
If it rears it's ugly head I'll cut it clean off
Change this, change that
Change this, change that
My ears are burning from all the talking
Time for fuckers to start walking
Stick to yourself
Hold your own
Stay strong in the sight of insanity
Driving down the darkness
Stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness
While you play god (with my life)
I'll pray for you
Your prayers come true
That I don't come for you
Driving down the darkness
Stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness
While you play god (with my life)
This time it's crossed the line
Beware of what's behind
Wolfs coming quick to kill you
Think your right, wrong
Look, it's long gone
Look, it's long gone
Hold your own
Stay strong in the sight of insanity
Stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness
While you play god (with my life)
Time for action not talking
If it rears it's ugly head I'll cut it clean off
Change this, change that
Change this, change that
My ears are burning from all the talking
Time for fuckers to start walking
Hold your own
Stay strong in the sight of insanity
Stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness
While you play god (with my life)
Your prayers come true
That I don't come for you
Stricken by the madness
Praying for forgiveness
While you play god (with my life)

I think its about going against someone who is trying to control you, an fighting them to get control of your own life back, and "drive down the darkness" you are in because you arnt in control of yourself
Bloody awesome.
I like this song, devildriver rock!!! I like this song heaps, this song sounds like their life is being held by someone else and they are saying to stay strong and try and take back control.
the chorus in this song kicks a great deal of ass. the guitar is bad ass.
A great thing about music is anyone can pull any meaning they want out of it. For this particular song, this is what I take out of it: I'm going through a divorce right now. What I hear in the music is the battle within ones self to control the crazy irrational thoughts you have when dealing with something like divorce. "Stay strong in the sight of insanity" If you've ever been through a divorce, you know how crazy you seem at times. The title itself "Driving down the Darkness" is simply saying, you have to keep those dark thoughts and impulses in check. And if your spouse is vindictive evil bitch, it may seem like she's is playing god with your life.
I just view the meaning of the song as: I can't tely on anyone or trust anyone, you can only truly rely on yourself. The whole "pray I don't come for you" part (to me) is about people who have done you wrong in the past.
