Heaven’s Descent Lyrics

Cover art for Heaven’s Descent lyrics by Volbeat

I believe this one to be more about falling into darkness and how we constantly breed it. It tells of a character who revels in their darkness and self-perceived power, embracing their wickedness and ruling over the dark realm they inhabit, mentioning how they were not entirely born this way, but their parents' actions ultimately led them here. We may not do it intentionally, but sometimes we do, imparting our bad views on young ones and making them unable to tell what's wrong or right. This is emphasized with the line "evolution is producing a kind." Our current ways of life are turning the pure youth to decent into a wicked way of thought.
