Die Todgeweihten
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kain in vaters hand
Kain zu blind zu stehn
Kain aus schwarzem blut
die todgeweihten grâ?¦ã?²ã¬'áen dich
Nimm dein schwert
Und tanze tanze tanze tanze
kain und wahn zum wahn
Kain do sâ?¦ã?²ã¬'áes licht
Kain das gift I'm wort
Kain wie stahl I'm wind
The lyrics of "Die Todgeweihten" by Atrocity describe the character of Kain, who seems to be in a state of rebellion and anger against his father, represented by the line "Kain in vaters hand" ("Kain in father's hand"). The repetition of Kain's name and the use of allusion to the biblical story of Cain and Abel adds a sense of urgency and a layer of meaning to the lyrics.
The lyrics also mention that Kain is too blind to stand and has black blood, possibly referring to his state of confusion and lack of clarity. The chorus ("die todgeweihten grâ?¦ã?²ã¬'áen dich/Nimm dein schwert/Und tanze tanze tanze tanze/Tanze den tanz zum tod") translates to "the doomed ones call for you/take your sword/and dance dance dance dance/dance the dance of death". This can be interpreted as a call to action, perhaps inciting Kain to rise up against his fate or take revenge.
Overall, "Die Todgeweihten" is a powerful and intense song that explores themes of anger, rebellion, and fate. It invites the listener to reflect on the story of Cain and Abel and consider a broader perspective on the human experience of struggle and opposition.
