The lyrics to Atrocity's song Das 11. Gebot are intense and haunting. The repeated phrase "Das 11. Gebot, bringt Euch den Tod" translates to "the 11th commandment brings you death." The lyrics suggest that there is only one god, one path to happiness, and one way to achieve absolution - through death. It also implies that human suffering is eternal and unending, like a fiery inferno.
The song seems to be a warning against religious extremism and blind faith. The idea of a new commandment beyond the traditional 10 commandments is a dangerous concept, as it implies that there is room for interpretation and manipulation. The repetition of the phrase "Himmelslieder" (heavenly songs) suggests that this new commandment might be used to lure people into a false sense of security and promise them a place in heaven if they follow blindly.
The lyrics are chilling, and the repeated refrain creates a sense of unease. The song seems to be a cautionary tale, warning listeners to be wary of those who preach radical ideologies and promise eternal rewards in exchange for blindly following their teachings.

+guitar of the dead The 'Willenskraft' album from 1996 is brilliant, it deserves more exposure. Only recently I played a friend it and it blew him away! he hadn't heard of Atrocity before that..

+vladtepes1456 you're right man. if people could only hear the awesomeness known as atrocity. but then again i see so many people hating their early videos (taste of sin, shout, etc) that i don't think people would even pay attention if i tried to show them this album

+guitar of the dead No worries mate, glad you appreciate it anyway, people don't know what they're missing!
