Contrary to popular belief, neither Acherontas nor Stutthof were NS bands - Stutthof's name was taken from that of a Nazi concentration camp in Poland, but NS ideology does not appear or play a significant part in the lyrics or meanings of songs by either band. Acherontas is focused solely on the mysticism of the left-hand path.

Acherontas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You, Gate of the deepest Dream and shadows
Allow your Infinity as Black Drape pierce me
Let me enter in your Temple of frozen Stars
I speak the words that open the path as written by the Great ΔΡΑΚΩΝ Tiamat
By the Crown of the Black Sun and my Royal blood I open the Omnipotent Eye of Horus
By the calls of the Averse Eye
From the quarters of Heaven
Illuminate Me in this Rite
Of fiery shadows
O' Moonless night of higher and sacred Blood!
I Became and the Becoming Became
I Became by Becoming
The form of Khepra
God of Transformation
Who came into Being
In the first time
Through me all Transformations were Enacted
Ancient Spirits of Life and Death, this Circle of Rebirth
Of burning flames and Holy flesh
I Invoke Thee

The song "Blood Current Illumination" by Acherontas delves into the occult and ritualistic practices. The opening lines pay tribute to the moon as it is considered a powerful symbol in many ancient and contemporary religions. The singer seeks entry into the temple of frozen stars, which may refer to the mystic connection between the heavenly bodies and human existence.
The singer then invokes the Great ΔΡΑΚΩΝ Tiamat, who is the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of the salt sea. The Crown of the Black Sun and Royal blood are two powerful symbols used for invoking the Omnipotent Eye of Horus, an important motif in Egyptian mythology. By invoking the Averse Eye and spirits from the quarters of Heaven, the singer seeks divine assistance to illuminate them in this rite of fiery shadows. The final lines of the song speak to the singer's transformation, becoming the form of Khepra, an Egyptian god of transformation, who brought forth all transformations enacted.
