Bathory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And give me a sword forged in the raging Hell's fire
Lend me the eight legged black stallion of Odin and I'll have my vengeance,
oh, I'll kill with desire
Vengeance flows like boiling poison through my twisted veins
Tonight I'll blood shed with wrath and set the night on flames
Invincible in battle, war gods hear my death wish cry
Snarling breath upon your backs, I'm vengeance incarnate
Now it's time, the moment's comed, stand up now, face my hate
See the fire in my eyes, the final light you'll see
I send you to the darkness with my sword of thunder and steel
[Repeat second verse]
I let the bodies lie in shame
I let mighty earth drink their blood
I turn my face to eternal sky
And praise my elders' God
Equimanthorn hear my Hail
You're the mighty four winds night and day
Steel in every warrior's heart and sword
The brave and wise in flesh and soul
Equimanthorn, Equimanthorn, Equimanthorn, Equimanthorn,
Equimanthorn, Equimanthorn, Equimanthorn, Equimanthorn
The lyrics of Bathory's song "Equimanthorn" are a tribute to Norse mythology and the power of vengeance. The singer is calling upon the gods to grant him the strength to seek revenge on his enemies. He asks for the powers of thunder and a sword forged in the fires of hell. He also requests the eight-legged black stallion of Odin to carry him into battle. The singer is consumed with a thirst for vengeance that flows like poison through his veins. He laughs in the face of death and is invincible in battle. He will set the night on fire with his wrath and kill with desire. The repeated chorus is a tribute to Equimanthorn, the powerful god of the four winds, who is honored by the brave and wise in flesh and soul.
