Desire the Pain Lyrics

This is your dying will. Forced to feed – and over again. Flies to filth, greed, wealth.
And we take what they give – every piece that we can hold.
Is it all that we are? Is it all we seek to be?

Soiled hands will meet us there. Choking the light from our souls.

I desire the pain. I desire the weight. And I will face my grave.

Draining the life from our veins – into a curse that we despise.
What a sickening way to spend our lives.

Soiled hands will meet us there. Choking the light from our souls.

I desire the pain. I desire the weight. And I will face my grave.
I desire remorse. I desire release. And I will chase this away... Away....

I desire the pain. I desire the weight. And I will face my grave.
I desire remorse. I desire release. And I will chase this away...
I desire the pain. I desire the weight. And I will face my grave.
I desire remorse. I desire release. And I will chase this away. (I desire the pain...)

Cover art for Desire the Pain lyrics by Demon Hunter

surprised no one has commented, personally one of my favorite songs in the album.

My two cents, in a nutshell... It starts off speaking about how we all get caught up in worldly trappings.. After that, it's about him aspiring to cut off his worldly trappings and to live a more Godly life in Christ, bearing the cross(I desire the weight)to reach his full potential. "I will face my grave" Generally, when you're sinning, or caught up in a trapping..not thinking about death, or the consequences; basically running from the grave.. Thus he's saying the opposite here. "I desire remorse, I desire release" Seems to be about regretting that sin/trapping, and seeking release via overcoming it or death...or perhaps "release" is death with the positive outlook of being united with Christ. I'd prefer the latter IMO.

Herp derp seems I temporarily forgot what nutshell means.

i just heard the song for the first time now, and im not that good at intpereting these lyrics, but i like your thoughts.
