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 ↴
Sagitarius showed the way - Gemini was
My guide. Twenty years - twenty flags of
Slavery, grave was my destiny, till
Tiphareth beckoned to me.
Three years of torment - Adeptus
Minor was my sign.
In Teutonic Lands I suffered
I cried, I fought for an olive wreath.
A dead girl shown the way:
I joined my destiny.
I was prphesized Eternal to be.
A vision of Cold, a drop of myrrh,
A scent of rare incense.
I rose to fulfill my Prophecy.
I am Adam Kadmon.
The infinite and the null-
The Alpha and the Omega.
The mutated gene of the coming race.
Snakes entwined in an eternal solstice.
My beauty denies any description:
Mechanical to animical - samanistical to theatrical
Corporeal to astral - erotical to apocryphal:
Behold!
My tower raping the sky!
Behold!
My wheels crushing the kingdoms!
Behold! The winged skull rising!
The lyrics to Acherontas's "The winged skull rising" speak of the journey of the singer, who was born under strange auspices. From the very beginning of the song, Sagitarius and Gemini signify a path that may not be straightforward, but elusive and difficult to attain. The singer reveals that they have suffered under slavery for many years, and their destiny was that of a grave. However, the singer saw an opening; a new path led to Tiphareth, and destiny called them to rise once again.
It seems that the singer was not content with their fate and that they had to strive towards something more significant. The singer was an adeptus minor, and they suffered in Teutonic Lands while freezing in Northern regions - likely referring to the cold and brutal environments they were in. Despite the harshness of their experiences, they still fought for an olive wreath, driven by a dead girl's vision. The singer believed that their destiny was to achieve greatness, and that they were prophesized to be eternal.
Following the vision of the dead girl, the singer joined their destiny and became the Adam Kadmon - a symbol of the infinite and the null, the alpha and the omega, and the mutated gene of the coming race. The singer uses beautiful and evocative imagery to describe their transformation - from mechanical to animical, samanistical to theatrical, corporeal to astral, and erotical to apocryphal. The singer proclaims their greatness, with a tower that rapes the sky, wheels that crush kingdoms, and a winged skull that rises.
