Progenies of the Great Apocalypse
Dimmu Borgir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man
Consistently, without the eyes to see
By those who revel in sewer equally
We, the prosperity of the future seal
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Born to capture the essence of
The trails of our kind
Zero tolerance must be issued forth
Behind the enemy's line
So it shall be written
And so it shall be done
(repeat 1st and 2nd verse)
Discover and conceive the secret wealth
And pass it unto your breed
Become your own congregation
Measure the sovereignty of it's invigoration
We, who not deny the animal of our nature
We, who yearn to preserve our liberation
We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire
We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it's strength
Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare
Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess
Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might
Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours
Consider the god we could be without the grace
Once and for all
Diminish the sub principle and leave it's toxic trace
Once and for all
The opening lyrics of Dimmu Borgir's song Progenies of the Great Apocalypse speak of a battle that has been raging on and on. A battle that is fueled by the venom of hatred for man, which is consistently perpetuated by those who revel in filth, sewage, and all things rotten and negative. The lyrics convey the idea that there are people out there who are blinded by their hatred and who seek to spread negativity and hatred wherever they go.
The next set of lyrics speaks of a group of people who see themselves as the prosperity of the future, sealed by the thunders of the north wind. These people were born to capture the essence of the trails of their kind, and they believe that zero tolerance must be issued forth behind the enemy's line. They call for action, stating that it shall be written, and it shall be done. The lyrics convey the idea that this group of people is determined to take action against the forces of negativity and hatred that they see around them.
The last set of lyrics of the song speaks of a group of people who are not afraid to acknowledge the animal nature of their being, and who yearn to preserve their liberation. They face the darkness in their hearts with a solemn fire and aspire to the truth and pursue its strength. They call themselves the undisputed prodigy of warfare, and they are determined to claim the throne that is rightfully theirs by defeating all the mediocrity that they see possessing the world.

The battle raged on and on
The fight continued relentlessly
Fuelled by the venom of hatred for man
It was driven by a deep loathing for humans
Consistently, without the eyes to see
Always, but unable to perceive the bigger picture
By those who revel in sewer equally
By those who delight in filth and degradation
We, the prosperity of the future seal
We, the ones who ensure future success
Cloaked by the thunders of the north wind
Protected by powerful natural forces
Born to capture the essence of
Destined to embody the very soul of
The trails of our kind
The path that our people must follow
Zero tolerance must be issued forth
We cannot tolerate any defiance
Behind the enemy's line
Even when infiltrating enemy territory
So it shall be written
Our decree cannot be denied
And so it shall be done
We will act upon what we have declared
Discover and conceive the secret wealth
Find and understand the hidden riches
And pass it unto your breed
And share it with your kind
Become your own congregation
Form your own group with shared beliefs
Measure the sovereignty of it's invigoration
Assess the power that it gives you
We, who not deny the animal of our nature
We embrace our primal instincts
We, who yearn to preserve our liberation
We value our freedom fiercely
We, who face darkness in our hearts with a solemn fire
We confront our inner demons with determination
We, who aspire to the truth and pursue it's strength
We seek the truth and the strength it provides
Are we not the undisputed prodigy of warfare
Are we not the supreme masters of war?
Fearing all the mediocrity that they possess
We despise all their mundane and ordinary ways
Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might
Shouldn't we eradicate them with all our power?
Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours
Strengthen our hold and take what is rightfully ours
Consider the god we could be without the grace
Imagine the godly beings we could become without mercy
Once and for all
Finally and completely
Diminish the sub principle and leave it's toxic trace
Destroy the lesser belief and its corrupt influence once and for all

@@Scaar420 I agree with you !!
Although I could easily say
spiritual black dimension
Entrhrone darkness triumphant
Even godless savage garden
Then again abrahadabra and finally Aeonian
I ve had the pleasure and lack to attend a live for spiritual black dimensions back in 2004 I think (perfect!! ) and also after so many tears again in Aeonian on Greece !!
Perfect band , masterminds and pioneers of a whole new scene ! Exceptional musicians every single one of them ! I will always consider them something different and unique !!
P.s best album of 2021 Nightfall”at night we pray”
