Sacrifice
Aghast Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Lord Of Death and Destroyer of Life will tonight take a sacrifice
A sacred gift from you - his slave - the gift will be your blood
You will with ecstatic pleasure give Him what you owe your life

Commit a ritual suicide
Give Him your life

Give Him the sacrifice
Tonight





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Aghast's song Sacrifice convey a dark and unsettling message about submitting oneself to a deity who demands blood as an offering. The imagery is vivid and disturbing, as the Lord of Death is portrayed as a ruthless figure who demands the ultimate tribute from his followers. The idea of committing ritual suicide and giving one's life as a sacrifice is presented as a twisted act of loyalty and devotion. The use of the word "ecstatic" in the lyrics suggests that the act of sacrificing oneself is something that is viewed as pleasurable by the singer, which adds an even more disturbing layer to the song's message. Overall, the lyrics of Sacrifice paint a picture of a brutal and unforgiving world where the cost of worshiping a deity is horrifically high.

Stretched In a haze through and back in what is time and space
A soul for a price of a bargain
All the looks of which breaks our heart
Whatever In this world was here from the start
Where do we go is the question
When we arrive after we depart
To leave point A
For what is point Z
All the meanwhile we fail to wonder of what could have been
Of what should have been
Do we forget where we come from
I knew where you were coming from
Yes
Straight to the marrow of another soul

Sinister gave me a kind of otherworldly creepy feeling like I've never felt before. It's not about ghosts, it's not about a serial killer and it's not about a demon. It's about a weird being that lives inside a picture.

Deity would be the right word.
