Tormentum Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Terror down below, he buckles to his knees
Fire in the hole to crack the secrecy
Allegiance pushed to another extreme
Natural born killer, occult regime

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Another victim
Show me a sign

[Chorus]
(Indignation) Lights again
(Suffocation) Lights again
(Domination) Lights again
(Isolation) Lights again

[Verse 2]
Watching and waiting they probe endlessly
But they can't compete for the pain runs too deep
Spawning the next hundred years of revenge
Death is their honor and means to transcend

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now who's the victim?
You'vе crossed that line
[Chorus]
(Indignation) Lights again
(Suffocation) Lights again
(Domination) Lights again
(Isolation) Lights again

[Interlude]
"As pursuant to the Gеneva Convention, no exceptional circumstances, whether a threat of war, a state of war, political instability, public emergency, order from a superior officer or a public authority may not be invoked as a justification of torture."

[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solos]

[Bridge]
How will it end? Who makes the call?
They'll never get it all
As the sorrow stains the floor
When will it break the will to survive?
What will it take? You're still alive
Death before dishonor stays
A war of sheer insanity
The false facade of piety
Still the game plays on

[Instrumental Outro]
[Guitar Solo]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
