Agony And Scream Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

God - you were a martyr
not worth praying
your grave won't be adorned with flowers
but with infants blood

Satan touched the dawn
and devoted the sky
to the powers

the sky born in the blood
but out wedlock

God, I scoff at your words
couse your graves been spat with fire
you won't be eternity
you won't be nothingness

The Subject on their knees
bitterly accept these moments
the satan is being coronated

Now
now satan's coronation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of III by Agony and Scream depict a rejection of god and the elevation of Satan, and the triumph of evil. The opening lines refer to god as a martyr, indicating that he has died or been defeated in some way, and is no longer worth praying to. The lyrics continue to assert that god's grave will not be adorned with flowers, but rather with infants' blood. This is a dark and disturbing image, suggesting the violent and bloody nature of the departure of god's reign. Satan is then introduced, touching the dawn and devoting the sky to the powers, which are presumably his own. The sky is born in blood, but out of wedlock, which could be interpreted as a reference to the illegitimacy of Satan's reign.

The lyrics then move on to a direct address to god, with the singer scoffing at his words and suggesting that his grave has been spat with fire. The idea here is that god's defeat has been so complete that his very burial has been desecrated. The singer then asserts that god will not achieve eternity, nor will he be nothingness. This line suggests that god has been entirely eliminated, with no possibility of resurrection or return. Finally, the singer references a subject on their knees, bitterly accepting these moments, as Satan is being coronated. The listener can interpret this as the triumph of evil over good, with Satan taking his place as the new ruler of the world.
