Black Magic
Bloody Hammers Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walk out in the night to the point that can't get any higher
Look down at the overlook can you see where it conspires
The old house glowing bright as day move close and discover
Could be where the congregation is to be uncovered

Black magic is in the air
They burn the candles so bright
Black magic is going on tonight

Black magic is in the air
They burn the candles so bright
Black magic is going on tonight

Remember don't get too close or look in their eyes
Don't listen to any story they speak only lies
We must end all this here tonight or god help us all
They'll walk to the gallows by morning we'll watch all them fall

Black magic is in the air
They burn the candles so bright
Black magic is going on tonight
Black magic is in the air

They burn the candles so bright
Black magic is going on tonight

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Bloody Hammer's song "Black Magic," the singer ventures out into the night, climbing higher and higher until they reach an overlook from which they can see an old, glowing house. The singer approaches the house and suspects that it may be where the congregation practicing black magic is gathering. The lyrics describe the feeling of magic in the air and the bright candles illuminating the scene. Yet, the singer warns the listener that they should not get too close or look into their eyes as whoever is practicing black magic only speaks lies, and they will meet their downfall by morning.

Overall, these lyrics are a warning about the dangers of dabbling with dark magic or witchcraft. The singer's curiosity leads them to the gathering of those performing black magic, but they realize too late that these people are dangerous and not to be trusted. The lyrics advise against getting too close or falling prey to their stories, making the point that those who practice black magic can be manipulative and deceitful.

Line by Line Meaning

Walk out in the night to the point that can't get any higher
Walking through the darkness to reach the highest point possible

Look down at the overlook can you see where it conspires
Looking down at the hidden meeting place where dark things are being planned

The old house glowing bright as day move close and discover
Finding an old house that is illuminated, and getting closer to uncover its hidden secrets

Could be where the congregation is to be uncovered
Realizing that this is the place where people with sinister intentions are gathering

Black magic is in the air
The presence of dark magic can be felt

They burn the candles so bright
Burning candles to carry out their dark rituals

Black magic is going on tonight
The dark magic is being performed right at this moment

Remember don't get too close or look in their eyes
Being cautious not to approach them closely or make eye contact

Don't listen to any story they speak only lies
Ignoring any false stories that they might tell

We must end all this here tonight or god help us all
Feeling the urgency to put an end to the evil deeds tonight, or there will be terrible consequences for everyone

They'll walk to the gallows by morning we'll watch all them fall
Knowing that their actions will lead them to punishment, and waiting to see them face the consequences
