Pray for blood
Pray for the cleansing
Pray for the flood
Pray for end of this nightmare
This lie of a life can as quickly as it came dissolve

We seek only reprieve
And welcome the darkness
The myth of a meaning, so lost and forgotten

Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell

Pray for solace
Pray for resolve
Pray for a savior
Pray for deliverance
Some kind of purpose, a glimpse of a light in this void of existence

Oh...
Now witness the end of an age
Hope dies in hands of believers
Who seek the truth in the liar's eyes

Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell

Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell

Take hold of my hand
For you are no longer alone
Walk with me in hell

Walk with me in hell
Walk with me in hell

You're never alone
You're never alone
You're never alone

You're never alone
You're never alone
Walk with me in hell

    General Comment:Everyone who thinks that this song is about religion is a moron.
    Lamb of God, despite the fact that their name, most of their album titles and many of their songs have religious titles, rarely write songs that are about religion.
    The reason Randy writes songs with religious imagery in them is because it has power. The word 'hell' envokes a powerful image in peoples heads. Randy knows this. So he uses lots of religious imagery in his (excellent) songwriting.

    Also people who think that LOG are a satanic band are also wrong. LOG are anti-religion, not Satanic.

    BTW Lamb Of God fucking rule. Sacrament kind-of sucks, but this song is really good.

    Song Meaning:One more comment about this song being about religion and I'll kill myself, this is a song about co-dependency, it's explained with many metaphors which can lead you astray but the chorus is the best example of this meaning, 'Walk with Me in Hell', being so co-dependent on someone that they suffer through your trials and tribulations as well

    General Comment:To me it is simply an anthem of the non-believer. Most GOOD lyrics are written in an ambiguous style, either by design or chance, thus allowing the listener to interpret them in the context of their OWN circumstances and worldview. It's also kind of the nature of good poetry. (Lamb Of God is my favorite metal band! WAY better than Metallica IMO. They're like the "Black Sabbath" of the 90's!)

    My Interpretation:Objectively they mean whatever the author meant them to mean. Subjectively they are ambiguous enough to have different meanings for different people.

    General Comment:The speaker is actually Jesus Christ.

    Pray for blood
    Pray for the cleansing
    Pray for the flood
    Pray for end of this nightmare
    This lie of a life can as quickly as it came dissolve

    Meaning: Jesus is saying that this life is a lie. Eternal life in heaven awaits us if we replace ourselves with the soul of Jesus. Jesus is in all of us, so it is up to us to emulate Him in every way possible. This is the real flood, or cleansing: replacing yourself with Jesus. The nightmare is life on earth.

    We seek only reprieve
    And welcome the darkness
    The myth of a meaning, so lost and forgotten

    Meaning: We are all sinners. However, we are all one body in Christ. Just like Jesus welcomed death, we should too. The "myth of the meaning" is the fact that Jesus is in all of us and we are in Him. Jesus addresses us as "we" because His spirit lives in all of us. We are His.

    Take hold of my hand
    For you are no longer alone
    Walk with me in hell

    Meaning: Jesus was crucified, and then He descended into hell itself to defeat death! He rose again on the third day, and ascended into heaven. If we walk with Christ in hell, then we will walk with Him when He rises again! We are all part of Him.

    Pray for solace
    Pray for resolve
    Pray for a savior
    Pray for deliverance
    Some kind of purpose, a glimpse of a light in this void of existence

    Meaning: Jesus is our only hope. Faith in God gives us solace and resolve. Jesus Christ is our savior who delivers us from evil. He is our only glimpse of light in this dark world.

    Oh...
    Now witness the end of an age
    Hope dies in hands of believers
    Who seek the truth in the liar's eyes

    Meaning: Jesus is referring to the fallen nature of man. We all turned our back on God with our sins (we are all sinners). Now we have to die with Christ before we have any hope of entering heaven. (the liar is the devil, who tries to tempt us to sin).

    Take hold of my hand
    For you are no longer alone
    Walk with me in hell

    Meaning: Jesus was crucified, and then He descended into hell itself to defeat death! He rose again on the third day, and ascended into heaven. If we walk with Christ in hell, then we will walk with Him when He rises again! We are all part of Him.

    Jesus is going through hell, to deliver us from evil. The least we can do is take His hand and walk with Him. He is always with us.

    General Comment:The song is about addiction and the people who help you? If you think about it walk with me through hell is saying hey help me along the way and through all this hell it probably is about Randy's alcoholism and his band mates walking with him through his hell

    General Comment:its probably "youre never alone" in that you're not the only one to have thought that life is basically just meaningless.

    but apparently not lol
