Leave Me In Hell

Venom's song 'Leave Me In Hell' is a raw and intense exploration of existential dread and the dark allure of the underworld. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of torment and suffering, beginning with the ominous 'Midnight, Six sixty six,' immediately setting a sinister tone. The references to 'Torment' and 'Beastial sex' suggest a world where pain and perversion reign supreme, and the cries of a 'Mother screaming in pain' and a 'Father ruling hell's domain' create a nightmarish family dynamic. This imagery reflects a deep-seated fear of birth and existence, encapsulated in the repeated plea, 'I don't want to be born, I don't want it, Leave me in hell.'

The song continues to delve into themes of danger and sacrificial rituals, with mentions of a 'Gold pentagram' and a 'Full blooded ram.' These elements are steeped in occult symbolism, evoking the dark rituals associated with Satanism. The line 'Karma, Hell bears its child' suggests a predestined fate, where the protagonist is born into a world of suffering and darkness. The 'Reaper sharpens his scythe,' a classic symbol of death, further emphasizes the inevitability of this grim destiny.

In the final verse, the song reaches a fever pitch with references to 'Sabbath, My crucifix' and 'Chief satanist.' The protagonist is 'Possessed by hell' and calls upon the 'Master' to 'Cast me a spell,' indicating a complete surrender to the forces of darkness. The repeated refrain 'I don't want to be born, I don't want it, Leave me in hell' underscores a profound rejection of life and a desire to remain in the infernal realm. Venom's aggressive musical style and provocative lyrics combine to create a powerful statement on the horrors of existence and the seductive pull of the underworld.
