The Knife
Akerbeltz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For the weapon conceived
By evil, for it's blade made
Of silver, the one that was
Stealed by the witches and
Was made to be a holy image,
For the sharp weapon of the
Devil, for it's hilt made of
Bone unburied from a holy
Grave from a slave of the
Right path, that once was
It's right arm! For the blood
Thirsty knife of fear, for
The blood that's been poured
By the sharp edge of terror,
And for the bloodbath never
To stop. Ready for the KILL!
The moon templates with
Her icy shine the edge of this
Weapon consagrated to the
Gods of death and impurity
Tempting to it's use, for
Feasting on hot blood. A hand
Is used by the knife to move
Deep inside with a morbid
Rush, to feel the flow of
Blood, innards exposed to
The freezing moon, with her
Light, the blood shines black,
And a light steam emanates
From the still beating heart.
SOLO: Ritual Mutilations
The knife is pleased to feel
The taste of blood, integrated
As one with the hand... The
Knife comes from within! Under
The sign of hate and under
The moonshine the blade
Shall rise from within!
Ritualistic death, or death
For revenge, death for
Pleasure, death for despite
Death for fear, death by the
Knife, always by the knife...
Ritual mutilation, death for
Pleasing the gods of death in




Demand for their attention,
Always by the knife!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Akerbeltz's song "The Knife" explore a weapon that was created by evil for the purpose of shedding blood. The knife has a silver blade stolen by witches and a hilt made of bone from a holy grave. It is a tool of the devil and represents fear and terror. The moon is the only witness to the carnage the knife leaves in its wake. The knife is thirsty for blood and is used to move deep inside to feel the flow of blood, all the while integrated with the hand that moves it. The knife represents ritualistic death for pleasure, revenge, and despite. The gods of death demand attention through bloodshed, and the knife is the tool they use.


The lyrics of "The Knife" are graphic and disturbing. They speak to the idea that evil does exist in the world and that there are those who will use whatever means necessary to cause harm or satisfy their desires. The imagery of a knife that has been imbued with unholy power is particularly chilling, as it suggests that even everyday objects can be transformed into instruments of death at the whim of the malevolent. The repeated references to blood and death, as well as the idea of the knife being used for ritualistic purposes, give the song an eerie, otherworldly quality that may appeal to fans of horror or occult-themed music.
