Reign of Darkness
Thy Art Is Murder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am destruction of innocence
I am the violence embedded in flesh
I am the pain in the bones of
The mortal shell
The dark heart of the Earth
I am Hell
I am Hell
Fear me
I am destruction of innocence
I am the violence embedded in flesh
I am the pain in the bones of
The mortal shell
The dark heart of the Earth
I am Hell
Fear at the throats of the
Father of deception
Let the blood of the cowards
Flow as the wines
False claims of retribution
May they choke on their lies
Lay waste the relics
Silence the hymns of deceit
You will know pain
You will see the true face of panic
Devastation now and forever
Reign of darkness
The masses one with the cursed
Godless in time
No longer a helpless slave
To the mask of the divine
Law waste the age of man
Return to the Earth
You will know pain
You will see the true face of panic
Devastation
Now and forever
Reign of darkness
Fear me
I am destruction of innocence
I am the violence embedded in flesh
I am the pain in the bones of the mortal shell
The dark heart of the Earth
I am Hell
Thy Art Is Murder's song "Reign of Darkness" is a powerful and disturbing exploration of destruction, violence, and pain. The song begins with a haunting chant of "Fear me," as if calling to all those who would experience the wrath of the singer. The lyrics describe the singer as the embodiment of Hell, destruction of innocence, violence, and pain. The singer seems to relish their role in causing chaos and pain to humanity, and the imagery of bones and the dark heart of the Earth adds to the chilling atmosphere of the song.
The second verse of the song takes aim at the "Father of deception" and the "false claims of retribution" that lead to the suffering of countless individuals. The singer seems to revel in the demise of these individuals, describing their blood flowing as wines. The lyrics call for the destruction of relics and hymns of deceit, suggesting a rejection of organized religion and a return to the Earth.
The final verse of the song describes the masses as "one with the cursed" and "godless in time." The lyrics suggest a rejection of traditional structures of power and a return to a more primal state. The song ends with a repetition of the opening verse, emphasizing the singer's role as an agent of fear and destruction.
