Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under the Sign of Hell
The Cult of Goat was born
The Horns of Darkness Impure
Materialized in form of Coven

Destruction rituals chanted
The Black Energy unleashed

The Sea of the True Kunwiedor
Shall raise the Scurrhinn Winds
Against the foul Nazarene
The False shall come to and end

Spread
The Flame

Crush
Christianity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Archgoat's song "Black Crusade" can be interpreted as a call to arms for followers of the Cult of Goat. The opening lines, "Under the Sign of Hell/The Cult of Goat was born," suggest that the song is about the birth of a new religious movement rooted in the worship of the devil. The following lines, "The Horns of Darkness Impure/Materialized in form of Coven," reinforce this sense of religious devotion and suggest that the followers of the Cult of Goat see themselves as part of a larger community.

The lyrics then take a turn towards destruction and violence, with references to "Destruction rituals chanted/The Black Energy unleashed." These lines suggest that the followers of the Cult of Goat are not just passively worshipping the devil, but actively seeking to bring about destruction and chaos. This is reinforced by the lines "Spread/The Flame/Crush/Christianity," which explicitly call for the destruction of Christianity.

Overall, "Black Crusade" can be seen as a call to arms for followers of the Cult of Goat, urging them to embrace their dark impulses and fight against Christianity and other forces of perceived oppression.
