Verflucht der tag, da ich geboren ward
Verflucht die nacht, in der ich sah
Wie sein und schein wurden mein
Wo ich wandle ist nicht mehr
Was einmal war
Nur dunkle seelen und
Teufelschar
Nicht I'm gebet, sondern ohne wort

Tâ??te ich in dir den gott
Fleisch und sâ?¦ã?²ã¬'nde, blut und
Liebe, gedanken in schwarz
Eure weiber schreien, eure
Sâ??hne jagen euch, mir zum
Untertan gemacht
Ich erfreu mich an eurer qual
Ich nippe das blut und
VerschlingÃ¯ das herz
Ich folge dem ruf der verdammnis
Dem licht der dunkelheit, kalt I'm
Genick und unsterblich gebein
Ich folge der verdammnis
Der leidenschaft
In rot, verdorben, verrucht
Und unsâ??glich schâ??n
Kreuze versinkend, glocken verklingend
I'm abendlichen schlachtfestrot der
Leidenschaft

Overall Meaning

Atrocity feat. Das Ich's song "Parentalia" is a haunting and dark exploration of the singer's feelings of despair and detachment from the world around them. The lyrics address the idea that the day of the singer's birth was cursed, and that the night they first opened their eyes was equally cursed, with the transformation of their world from light to darkness. The singer laments that where they walk now, nothing is the same as it once was, with only dark souls and the minions of the devil around them. The singer goes on to say that they do not pray, but instead kill the God that once was worshipped, and delight in the pain and suffering of those around them.

The singer revels in their own immortality and follows the call of damnation and passion, with their heart, mind, and body consumed by lust and desire. The song's chorus speaks of Parentalia, which was a Roman festival dedicated to the dead that was held in February. The festival was a time for families to come together and remember their ancestors, but it also allowed for a license for sexual expression and indulgence. The reference to the festival of Parentalia in this song implies that the singer is engaging in a similar sort of indulgence and debauchery, using the festival as a metaphor for the dark desires that they are driven to explore.
