„I don’t know how long it will be act, because it depends only myself. So it isn’t plausible to conclude the band’s working. I like to do it. I need an extra to feel well and this is Aetherius Obscuritas. This is my salute to the Black Metal „Ancestors” and adifying the Hungarian underground black metal scene, this means me BLACK METAL. I don’t care this nowadays marker, „true black metal”, that’s why I don’t give any markers to my music.
Furthermore, i have to name some bands who are the big influences for me, and without them my music may looks like else or doesn’t be at all. At first, primarily thanks to Varg to charmed me with his earlier works, Aske and Burzum, why for his invidual voice got moved things in me. The secund is Ancient. Hereby also the older ones, especial „Chainian Chronicle”, which is a huge influence. And of course, I can’t miss out Ragnarok, All my awe is them…”
The Lockness Door
Aetherius Obscuritas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But at last came a knock,
And I thought of the door
With no lock to lock.
I blew out the light,
I tip-toed the floor,
And raised both hands
But the knock came again
My window was wide;
I climbed on the sill
And descended outside.
Back over the sill
I bade a "Come in"
To whoever the knock
At the door may have been.
So at a knock
I emptied my cage
To hide in the world
And alter with age

When the knock came again, the singer climbed out of the window and bid the unknown visitor to come in. At the end of the song, the singer reveals that they have left their cage to "hide in the world and alter with age" as a result of the knock.

It went many years,
After a long period of time,
But at last came a knock,
Finally, there was a knock at the door,
And I thought of the door
I remembered the door,
With no lock to lock.
It had no lock and was not secure,
I blew out the light,
I extinguished the light,
I tip-toed the floor,
I walked quietly on the floor,
And raised both hands
I lifted both of my hands,
In prayer to the door.
And prayed to the door for protection.
But the knock came again
However, the knock persisted,
My window was wide;
My window was open,
I climbed on the sill
I climbed onto the windowsill,
And descended outside.
And descended from the windowsill to the outside.
Back over the sill
I went back over the windowsill,
I bade a 'Come in'
I invited the knocker to 'Come in',
To whoever the knock
To whoever was knocking,
At the door may have been.
At the insecure door they may have been knocking.
So at a knock
Therefore, when I heard a knock,
I emptied my cage
I let my guard down,
To hide in the world
And retreated into the safety of the world,
And alter with age
Protected and insulated, I was able to age and change.
