War
Bathory Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The bells of war doth chime tonight
And the heavens shake with fear
The earth commot the sky is in flames
The battle is ever near

[Troops of Hell tonight they storm
The walls they so despise
Heaven's gates are closing in
The night is filled with cries]

WAR, WAR, WAR
A crack of thunder, a smell of death
The wind of mayhem blows
Heaven in its final breath
And God lose all control

Prayers for mercy cries for help
Won't stop the blasphemy
Our troops emerge the sacred throne
And the victory is complete





WAR, WAR, WAR
[WAR, WAR, WAR]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bathory's song War paint a vivid picture of a chaotic and violent scene. The bells ringing signify the start of a battle that strikes fear in the hearts of all who hear them. The earth is shaking and the skies are ablaze with fire. It's evident that the battle is drawing closer and the troops of Hell are ready to carry out their destruction. They yearn to breach the walls of the enemy and close in on the gates of Heaven, which is now vulnerable to their assault. The night is filled with cries of agony and despair.


The sound of thunder and the stench of death mingle in the air, as the forces of evil continue their onslaught. Mayhem is rampant, and Heaven is on its last breath, as God loses control over what is happening. Those who seek mercy and help through prayer are met with the blasphemous roar of the enemy. But, Bathory's portrayal of the battle is not one-sided. As the troops of Hell emerge, they ultimately achieve victory over the sacred throne of Heaven.


Overall, War depicts the brutality and destructiveness of war, portraying it as both an external and internal conflict. The battle is not only fought on the physical plane but also on the spiritual plane, where the forces of good and evil are in constant conflict.
