2) Resembling Deeds Of Flesh in both its wealth of riff-variations and athletic rhythmic assault, this music surges constantly forwards referencing itself only tangentially, as brief glimpses into parallel dimensions of organic possibility that pass by with a deathlike unstoppable certainty. The intensity is almost overwhelming and following the more intricate details of pieces as they unfurl requires attentive listening, but at the same time there is a simplicity of epic motion ingrained within this music at its meta-level. Abhorrent is like the amoral and violent force of nature, realizing itself through pure will and power both in spite of death and echoing it vitriolically all the way to its end.

The Witch
Abhorrent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hides that beautiful figure
Gloomy and mysterious woman
Attracting the most close wishes
As the weak as the powerful
Enchant themselves with
her hypnotic look
But, don't live who dare
Oh, mystic and immortal witch
Spreading the death of men
Her white veil inspire wishes
To suck the life from her victims
The witch, the witch, the witch....
After each death conceived
One light bright from her veil
The vital energy from her victims
Faces the tragical end under her veil
She always appears at night
Killing for pleasure, harvesting innocent lives
Her secrets are eternally hidden
And the mystic witch waits
Under the moonlight
In Abhorrent's song The Witch, the lyrics describe a woman who is both alluring and mysterious. Wrapped in white veils and possessing a hypnotic gaze, this witch attracts both the weak and the powerful, but is careful not to reveal her secrets to any who dare to discover them. Despite her beauty, she is also described as spreading the death of men and using her veil to suck the life from her victims. Each death seems to only add a bright light to her veil and increase her strength. She appears only at night to harvest innocent lives for pleasure, lurking under the moonlight.
These lyrics are very symbolic and can be read in many ways. One interpretation is that the witch represents a dangerous temptation, someone who can both attract and destroy those who come too close. Her veil, which represents purity and innocence, is used to lure and drain the life from those who cannot resist her. Her white veil inspiring wishes is a powerful image, as is the light that adds to it with each death. It is almost as if the witch gains power from the death of her victims, making her more dangerous and powerful with each passing moment. The fact that her secrets are eternally hidden also adds to her mystique and allure, making people want to know more about her even though they know it may cost them their lives.
