Swallowed
Arghoslent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fell upon my land
Felt upon my sword
Beheading for a feast
Our swords covered with blood
Beneath the melting sun
The praise is for pagan lords
Our village was set afire
The females screamed for help
The sand-demons have scarred our sacred land
Ashes and smoke were left
To remind us of failure
The women had been stained
By the rodents of the desert
Carriers of the disease
Left for us to find
We must please Satan attack the rodents of the sands
Battle...
Swallowed by the sand
The land was fully conquered
But the desert could not be owned
They slithered to the core
To praise Yahweh at nightfall
The children had been taken
Their juice sucked into the sand
The sun reflected their blood
Fluids consumed by the rodents below
The blue cloud of doom
Fell upon my land
Felt upon my sword
The lyrics in Arghoslent's "Swallowed" seem to talk about a battle that took place in a village, where the singer talks about the destruction that has occurred. The blue cloud of doom could be a reference to the smoke that rose from the village as it was being burned down. The battle seems to have been between the villagers and the sand-demons who have scarred the sacred lands of the village. The villagers were helpless, and the females screamed as they were being attacked by the sand-demons. The lyrics also talk about a disease that was left behind by the rodents of the desert, which further complicates their situation.
As the battle intensifies, the singer describes how the village was fully conquered, but the desert could not be owned, indicating that the sand-demons were still a threat. The children were taken, and their juice (perhaps blood) was consumed by the rodents below. Yahweh, which is a name used for God in Hebrew, is mentioned in the lyrics, indicating that the battle may have had religious undertones.
Overall, the lyrics of "Swallowed" depict a scene of destruction, death and chaos in a village, as they try to fend off against a formidable enemy.

Cool to hear some of these songs super unpolished before the recordings of their proper albums. Can't decide if I should buy this on CD or not
PripyatGhoul
@Earl Gray where are these cds located i cannot find anywhere selling them even on their official label, can only find arsenal of glory
Slabba Danks
@Earl Gray I don't either. To be honest I'm torn between getting more of their albums on CD, or getting them on vinyl
Earl Gray
@Slabba Danks Cool. I have the original Hornets album on CD. I’m thinking of getting Incorrigible Bigotry & Galloping Through The Battle Ruins next, but we’ll see. I don’t have a huge collection yet.
Slabba Danks
@Earl Gray nah, got an original release incorrigible copy though
Earl Gray
Same. Did you end up getting the CD?
