You gave each one to me, i faced destruction and you
I hope you suffer, i hope you suffer, i hope you do
Just killed me and walked away, and now i can t speak your name, i hope you do
I gave my heart to the cruel, your love was written so true, and now i can t speak your name
Deny the last one who cares, deny the last one who cares
I ve seen my darkest days, i hope you do
I hope you suffer, i hope you suffer AFI, i hope you do
i hope you do
I hope you suffer, last words of the runaway
i hope you suffer
And now i can t speak your name, you made me suffer
You have been lost for days, i hope you suffer, deny the last one who cares
I hope you suffer, i faced destruction and you
I fucking suffered, i fucking suffered, i hope you suffer
I ve seen my darkest days, pretend i m no longer here, i hope you suffer
I ve seen my darkest days, now with the faith you removed
Just like you, our hope for forgiveness dies, i hope you do
You made me suffer, i hope you do
i got two letters from you
I hope you do, you gave each one to me
i hope you do
You made me suffer, i hope you do
deny the last one who cares
I got two letters from you, our hope for forgiveness dies
For the idiots debating religion on this page, An upside down cross doesn't immediately mean satanism. People mistake an inverted cross as a perversion of the normal cross, but it isn't. Do your research. It's the Cross of St. Peter. THE POPE HIMSELF has an inverted cross on his throne. St. Peter, the first Pope, was martyred by crucifixion. He did not believe himself worthy to die in the same way Jesus did, and instead, the cross was inverted. In this song, he is (most likely) making a corollary between his pain and being crucified. Gosh, some people are so ignorant.
I really disliked this song when it came out because the message is so cruel, which I felt had never been a theme in even the angriest old school AFI songs. But here I am a few years later trying to recover from an abusive relationship, and I'm sad to say I finally understand the hatred and vengeance in this song. Sometimes I just lie in bed shaking with rage, sometimes I scream and scream and I can't stop. Being consumed by hate is like rotting from the inside and I still think the message here is a bad one because wishing for someone else's suffering isn't going to heal your own, but I get it. Some people deserve to burn.
I got two letters from you
Last words of the runaway
Your love was written so true
And now I can't speak your name
I faced destruction and you just killed me and walked away
I gave my heart to the cruel
Now it will not beat again
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
Just like I suffered
No one will ever know you
Deny the last one who cares
Intoxicate with the new
Pretend I'm no longer here
I opened my heart to you
You lied just to reach inside
Now with the faith you removed our hope for forgiveness dies
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
Just like I suffered
I've seen my darkest days
You gave each one to me
I've seen my darkest days
You gave each one to me
You have been lost for days
May you find my darkness
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
I hope you suffer
I hope you do
Just like I, I fucking suffered
Just like you
You made me suffer
I hope you, I hope you do
AFI is one hell of a band.
A band that has gone through more evolutions than literally any band out there. Thats a good thing. Creating, destroying, rebuilding.
Starting from the underground in the hardcore punk/hardcore scene..into the cross pollination of goth hybrid punk to the now lighter alternative sound they are today.
Thank you AFI for all the hard work you've done. Please continue to evolve and never sound the same.
