666
Katharsis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My paleness turneth to brightness
Where thousand seals inflame the night.
The chains are broken, The gates are open
My mask is sheer terror, but I bring the final calm...
An incarnation of kathairein flesh
Deathcult and Flakk Ameth at trident attack
Replacing hope and holiness...
666 Sinister seed.
Rise from the depths where mortality shall breed
I am the Archangel�s bestial eye,
I am the murdere of the holy childe
666 devestator of the suns,
Devestator of the skies, Devestator of the light.
I am the crawling chaos. I am the shining victor.
I am the living death.
So watch your fading vision
While I enter heavenly ground.
So dream your failing prophecy
While I eat your world...
In the battle of conquest be upon the enemy
Give me their flesh to eat.
Hail the one, the blessed beast
Worship Him with swords and spears,
Lift His throne and place
Light devouring gods and men.
And another king shall reign.
Eternal ecstasy of hell
For from the North cometh the pain...
None shall before the One,
Angel of the Bleeding Sun.
Imperial forceïs raging blow.
A storm of steel awaketh
Cruel pounding hammers of His law
Triumphant Lucifer on the ruins of the world.

The chains are broken, The gates are open
Freedom has been attained; the way forward is clear
My paleness turneth to brightness
I am transformed from a state of weakness to one of strength
Where thousand seals inflame the night.
Amidst the darkness, powerful and significant things are unfolding
My mask is sheer terror, but I bring the final calm...
Although I may appear frightening, I am actually bringing peace and resolution
An incarnation of kathairein flesh
I represent the embodiment of purification and catharsis
Deathcult and Flakk Ameth at trident attack
I am joined by powerful forces of death and destruction
Replacing hope and holiness...
The old ways of thinking and being are being replaced by something more extreme and nihilistic
666 Sinister seed.
I am a force of evil and destruction
Rise from the depths where mortality shall breed
I emerge from the depths of suffering and sorrow
I am the Archangel�s bestial eye,
I am an all-seeing, animalistic force of destruction
I am the murdere of the holy childe
I represent the death of everything innocent and pure
666 devestator of the suns,

While I bring destruction to the divine and the sacred
So dream your failing prophecy

While I eat your world...
While I consume everything that is good and pure
In the battle of conquest be upon the enemy
In the act of victory, be merciless against your foes
Give me their flesh to eat.
Metaphorically consume and destroy your enemies
Hail the one, the blessed beast
Worship and revere the ultimate manifestation of evil and chaos
Worship Him with swords and spears,
Show devotion through bloodshed and violence
Lift His throne and place
Elevate the power and influence of evil and destruction
Light devouring gods and men.
Destroy everything that brings light and hope
And another king shall reign.
As the old ways are destroyed, new modes of being will emerge
Eternal ecstasy of hell
Hell, or the ultimate state of suffering, is a source of unending joy and fulfillment
For from the North cometh the pain...
Pain and suffering are inevitable and are coming from a direction beyond human control
None shall before the One,
No opposing force can stand against me
Angel of the Bleeding Sun.
I am the embodiment of destruction and chaos, and my power extends to the divine
Imperial forceïs raging blow.
The overwhelming, unstoppable force of my destruction
A storm of steel awaketh
My power is akin to a storm of destruction
Cruel pounding hammers of His law
My destruction and chaos are the ultimate law and justice
Triumphant Lucifer on the ruins of the world.
I am the ultimate victor, standing on top of the ruins of all that is good and pure
