Black Heaven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich bin die Nachtgestalt in einer falschen Welt
Die Seele malträtiert am Kreuz der Sklaverei
Ich weiß das Blut ist schwach, doch der Geist ist frei
Ich höre seine Stimme
Ich schau in sein Gesicht
Er ist am Kreuz gestorben
Er tanzt auf meiner Seele
Will mir Erlöser sein
Gott, lass mich bloß in Ruhe
Gott, lass mich bloß allein
Er spricht von Lust und Liebe wie von ew'gen Leid
Der Sinn des Seins verborgen ruht im Himmelreich
Er teilt die Nacht vom Tag der Gut und Böse trennt
Doch nur die Dunkelheit hat Flügel mir geschenkt
In the lyrics of the song Sakrileg by Black Heaven, the singer describes themselves as speaking holy of what is considered sinful, while being the presence of night in a false world. They express that their soul is tormented on the cross of slavery, but they know that blood is weak and the spirit is free. The singer hears the voice of someone, and looks upon their face, acknowledging that they died on the cross, but not for them. This person dances upon the singer's soul and wants to be their savior, but the singer desires to be left alone by God. This person speaks of love and pleasure, but the true meaning of existence is hidden in the kingdom of heaven. They divide night from day and separate good from evil, but only the darkness has granted the singer wings.
The lyrics of Sakrileg highlight the struggle of a person who has been subjected to the doctrines of religion and society but seeks liberation and individuality. They seem to have encountered someone or something that is trying to guide them towards enlightenment and salvation, but the singer is skeptical and resistant to it as they feel abandoned by God. The reference to the night and darkness suggest a sense of freedom and rebellion against traditionally held beliefs. The lyrics also refer to the struggle between good and evil, which often creates a dichotomy in the minds of people adhering to religious dogma.
