Preludium
Ancient Wisdom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Master and Prince of Rebellious Spirits,
Fallen from grace.
Oh, prideful Morningstar,
Thou who defy the rising of the light,
To thee I swear obedience.
Father of sin, my life is thine
The lyrics in Ancient Wisdom's song "Preludium" speak of devotion and allegiance to Lucifer, who is described as the master and prince of rebellious spirits, fallen from grace. The name Lucifer is typically associated with the devil or Satan, and his rebellion against God. The lyrics acknowledge Lucifer's pride and refusal to submit to the rising of the light, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for embracing darkness and rejecting enlightenment or salvation. The words "To thee I swear obedience" symbolize the singer's willingness to follow Lucifer and serve as a follower of sin.
The lyrics of "Preludium" reflect themes common in black metal, which frequently deals with topics such as Satanism, nihilism, and anti-Christian sentiment. However, Ancient Wisdom's take on the subject matter is notable for its poetic and philosophical approach, which elevates the lyrics beyond the usual blasphemous tropes. The song's sense of reverence for Lucifer may also be interpreted as a critique of organized religion and a celebration of individualism.

Emperor Lucifer,
Oh mighty and powerful ruler, Lucifer
Master and Prince of Rebellious Spirits,
You are the master and leader of all rebellious spirits
Fallen from grace.
Though you were once in favor, you have now fallen from grace
Oh, prideful Morningstar,
You, with your great pride, shine brightly like the morning star
Thou who defy the rising of the light,
You go against and resist the coming of the light
To thee I swear obedience.
I promise to follow and obey you, oh great Lucifer
Father of sin,
You are the origin and creator of sin
my life is thine
My life belongs to you, oh powerful Lucifer
