Whore Of Bethlehem
Archgoat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like locusts blackening the sky
They praise my excrement
They call him their saviour
Kings have served me
Drank their wine of Satan
The Tainted gift of Samael
THEIR HANDS HAVE FILCHED HER TEMPLE
MARBLE HAS CHANGED TO OBSIDIAN
THEY CALL HIM THE SON OF GOD
I CALL HIM THE SON OF 1000 MEN
Born from the flesh and blood
Result of Debauchery
Son of Sadomatic Arts
From depths of my whore's cunt
The song "Whore of Bethlehem" by Finnish black metal band Archgoat, speaks about the filth and debauchery of humanity, coming from the singer, the whore of Bethlehem. The lyrics paint a picture of locusts, symbolizing the plague and destruction that humanity brings upon itself. The followers of the whore worship the excrement she produces, in a grotesque celebration of depravity. The mention of Satan and Samael is dark and unsettling, hinting at the demonic influences that the whore has seduced kings with. The whore claims to have corrupted the temple of Bethlehem and changed its once beautiful marble to obsidian, a more sinister and corrosive material. The mention of the son of God and the son of a thousand men is a contrast that highlights the deity of Christianity against the mundane and human desires of the whore.
The lyrics explore the darkness of human nature and our insatiable appetite for pleasure and hedonism. Archgoat's music is known for its unapologetic and blasphemous lyrics and "Whore of Bethlehem" is a fitting example of their unique brand of black metal.
