Cover art for Morte et Dabo lyrics by Asking Alexandria

I'm pretty sure these are the correct lyrics and not the other ones that are posted on this site. The song sounds like it is written from the perspective of the Devil and his thoughts (clearly quite disheartened) of God.

Satan was originally one of God's leading angels and God but arrogance and envy caused him rebel against God and he was cast out of Heaven. It seems like the first verse is Satan saying how God came to him and said you are forsakend and I offer you forgivness but Satan declines.

The rest of the song tells of Satans hatred for God and the lyrics throughout are pretty self explanatory, it could also be some kind of a metaphor for the way Danny feels about someone and he just using the instance of God vs the Devil to compare it to but could be another way of translating it.

As I'm sure everyone knows by now 'Morte et Dabo' means something along the lines of 'the Gift of Death'or some have said 'I will bring death' but yeh, this is such an awesome song and awesome band, can't wait for Reckless and Relentless to drop!

i think on the part about ripping his eyes out it's actually "off your self-righteous face" but then again idk

okay i have a question if there is no sin in heaven, then how could the devil turn aganist god to think he is more powerful than god. anyone who thinks he is above god is a sin right?

I believe it was only humans who didn't have knowledge, and Angels had the same knowledge - or less - as God. Not gonna get into a whole religion bible bash but I think Angels did have knowledge about good and evil, and yeah, God's right hand (or is it left?) angel defied God. And yeeah, it is a sin. Hope that helps....
