Sacrifice
Amazarak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I summoned up the living dead
and demons in the skies
I drank from chalice warm and red
and watched the virgin die
Present at ungodly births in holy paradise
And raped mother of Christ
[Oh, mother of Christ]
C'mon baby raise your knife
Welcome darling to my sacrifice
[Oh, sacrifice]
Tie the angel to the altar
Sacrifice to Lord of hell
Let the warm blood torrent, baby
While the moonlight sets the night on spell
I saw the lightning strike in the skies
And heard you roar of pain
Oh, lift the knife and strike once more
Your blood is mixed with the rain
C'mon baby raise your knife
Welcome darling to my sacrifice
[Oh, sacrifice]
[repeat verse 1]
[repeat verse 2]
[repeat chorus]

The lyrics to Amazarak's song Sacrifice are a cover of Bathory's track, and they describe the summoning of undead creatures and demons into the world, the drinking of the blood of someone or something, and the sacrificial killing of a virgin as an offering to a lord of Hell. The singer appears to relish in the desecration of holy places and the spread of darkness on the earth, even going so far as to claim to have raped the mother of Christ. The chorus calls for the listener to join the singer in this dark ritual, urging them to raise their knife and make a sacrifice of their own.
This song is an intense exploration of sacrilege and the worship of darkness, seeking to conjure up images of subversive power and blasphemy through its vivid and often violent imagery. The lyrics are likely meant to shock and provoke listeners, challenging them to confront their own feelings about religion and morality in the face of such extreme imagery.
