Blood for Satan
Black Dawn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shed the sweet blood
Let it flow in great streams
Let the blade fuck your flesh
For the master you all must bleed

Sex with steel, blade me
I ejaculate black blood
Bloody painful masturbation

I am the whore of Satan!

Blood for Satan

When the bitches howl
and warm blood is spilled
I rejoice their painful cries
For I am the lover of darkness

Blood for Satan

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Black Dawn's song Blood for Satan are a grisly depiction of a worshipper of Satan essentially sacrificing their own blood to honor Satan. The singer commands one to "shed the sweet blood" and refers to the listeners as "whores of Satan". The imagery is particularly violent, suggesting that they must let the blade "fuck [their] flesh" and that the result will be "great streams" of blood flowing. The second verse is particularly graphic, invoking a twisted sexual imagery where the singer ejaculates black blood, describing it as "bloody painful masturbation". The repeated refrain of "Blood for Satan" hammers home the point of the song- that the lifeblood of the worshippers must be given as tribute to the dark deity.

The language here is intentionally vulgar and graphic, likely intended to shock listeners and to provoke strong reactions- whether positive or negative. It paints a very bleak, disturbing picture of someone completely devoted to the will of Satan and willing to give everything- including their own life- to satisfy him. The message seems to be that true devotion to Satan requires bloodshed and violence.
