black moon
1-800WRLD Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

White horse in the blackest woods, stars painted on your walls
Candles flicker and torches burn, down all your ancient halls
Midnight meetings of the sacred 13 turns into a black mass chant
Graveyard child turns scared and wild at the sight of the burning lamps

Black moon child you fly so high
Black moon child you fly so high
Black moon child in the sky

Moon child dances to the midnight thrum while the keeper wails and weeps
While the death obsessed hold midnight trysts and deny him of his sleep
There is no grace there is no guilt, there is no love do what thou wilt
There is no grace there is no guilt, there is no love do what thou wilt.

Black moon child you fly so high
Black moon child you fly so high
Black moon child in the sky

Fly high fly so high
Fly high fly so high
Fly high fly so high

White horse in the blackest woods, stars painted on your walls
Candles flicker and torches burn, down all your ancient halls
Midnight meetings of the sacred 13 turns into a black mass chant
Graveyard child turns scared and wild at the sight of the burning lamps

Black moon child you fly so high

Black moon child you fly so high
Black moon child in the sky

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 1-800WRLD's song "Black Moon" describe a scene of darkness and mystery, as the singer enters a place of ancient power and forbidden rituals. The "white horse in the blackest woods" suggests a surreal, dreamlike landscape, and the stars painted on the walls and flickering candles add to the eerie atmosphere. The midnight meetings of the sacred thirteen, which turn into a "black mass chant," evoke images of occult practices and demonic forces. The graveyard child, who turns "scared and wild" at the sight of the burning lamps, represents innocence confronted by the darkness of the unknown.

The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "black moon child you fly so high," adds to the otherworldly feeling of the song. The moon child dances to the "midnight thrum," while the keeper wails and weeps, emphasizing the hypnotic power of the ritual. The idea that "there is no grace there is no guilt, there is no love do what thou wilt" suggests a philosophy of selfishness and hedonism, where personal desire and enjoyment is more important than any moral considerations.

Overall, "Black Moon" conveys a mood of darkness, mystery, and danger, as the singer is pulled into a world of forbidden practices and unknown forces.
