Carpite Florem
Asgaard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night of the deepest shadow...
Fearful loneliness flowing the stream of grief
She is a flame that carries the seed of cold
She spread out her ominous damned wings
Over the scream of mankind with a heart torn away
Here is the rose, her memory still last...
The ocean of remembrance
Gathered in the chalice of rapture

Our bodies interwoven with the silver band of night
Shiver with convulsive bliss




In your mouth, the rosy nectar of sin
I am a demon of passion which desire in essence...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Asgaard's song "Carpite Florem" seem to depict a dark and powerful force that casts a shadow over mankind. The first few lines describe a night of deep darkness and the fear and loneliness that flows through it. This force is personified as a flame that carries the seed of cold, suggesting that it is both hot and cold, powerful and dangerous. The ominous wings and the scream of mankind also emphasize the destructive power of this force. However, there is also a sense of beauty and mystery in the lyrics, as the rose represents the memory of something lost but still remembered, and the ocean of remembrance gathers in the chalice of rapture. This seems to suggest that there is a deeper meaning or purpose to the darkness, and that there is a way to find beauty and meaning within it.


The second part of the lyrics shift to a more personal tone, with the singer describing their own physical and emotional experience of this force. Our bodies are interwoven with the silver band of night, suggesting a merging or blending of selves with the darkness. There is also a sense of intense pleasure and ecstasy, as the singer shivers with convulsive bliss and tastes the rosy nectar of sin. However, there is also a hint of danger and recklessness, as the singer identifies themselves as a demon of passion which desires in essence. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of both power and danger in the forces of darkness, but also suggest that there is a possibility of finding beauty and meaning within it if approached with the right mindset.

Nice song. I haven't listened to this band before... Not quite famous, are they? But still great a great piece.

Beautiful playing, vocals, melodies & fantastic versatility... it sounds like a full orchestra is playing, something Dimmu Borgir failed miserably at trying to create.
i wish more bands had the guts to go for it like Asgaard or bands like Sear Bliss did.
