Necromantique Nun
Necros Christos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay bare
The stones
Removed
The witch
Gets welcomed
By the breath of doom
Shrines
Of slumber
Disturbing
Endless rest
Her magic
Unblessed
By a mancy of death
The body's dead but though it speaks
Midnight's calling the deceased
An omen for the dead to come
The spells are cast the rite is done
Necromantique nun
Baalat ob
The body starts to rise
Seals
Unlocked
A candle
Enlights the grave
Her voice
Doth summon
The ghost
Has finally come
Dead eyes
Do glow
Kischuf
Is on the run
Familiar
Spirits
Invoked
Secret lore
The evil
Woman
Had cursed
En-dor
She brings
To life
Whatever
Once has lived
No call
Unheard
No body
Shan't resist
The lyrics of "Necromantique Nun" by Necros Christos tell a story of a witch who raises the dead through her sinister magic. The song starts with the reference to bones lying bare, indicating the remnants of the dead. The stones removed could refer to a grave or a burial site that the witch has uncovered. The imagery of the witch's breath welcoming the gravesite evokes a sense of necromancy, with the witch possibly casting spells or invoking spirits. The shrines of slumber could represent tombs or mausoleums that the witch has disturbed, awakening the dead from their endless rest. The magic that the witch performs is not blessed by anyone but is imbued with death's power - this line foreshadows the dark nature of her incantations.
The second stanza describes how the dead begin to rise once the ritual is performed. The midnight calls to the deceased, and the spells are cast to bring forth the dead. The repetition of "Necromantique Nun" in this stanza adds an eerie quality to the song. Baalat ob is a possible reference to the Canaanite goddess Baalat, who was associated with witchcraft and necromancy. The candle that enlights the grave could illuminate the darkness, guiding the newly risen dead towards the witch. The ghost that the witch summons has finally come, its dead eyes glowing with the Kischuf, a Hebrew term referring to the magic that was used for unholy purposes.
The final stanza describes the endless power that the witch wields. Through secret lore and cursed words, she can bring to life whatever has once lived. The no call is unheard, and no body shan't resist, hinting towards the terrifying and unstoppable nature of her magic.
