Witch of Endor
Bloody Hammers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just my thoughts left to echo
Looking toward a bringer of war
Clearly intending my overthrow
Ignoring divine instructions
Souls being released by my sword
Guidance from above departed
Yeah solution is raise the dead
Find the conjuring witch of Endor
Reigning in hell
Solution is find the conjuring witch of Endor
Pushing onward through the hail storm
There will be no turning back
Seek the eyes of the fallen prophet
My only chance in this attack
Ignoring divine instructions
Souls being released by my sword
Guidance from above departed
All my questions returning ignored
Yeah solution is raise the dead
Find the conjuring witch of Endor
Reigning in hell
Solution is find the conjuring witch of Endor
In the wake of this injustice
A beaten path to the unknown
Awaiting holy apparition
And my guidance to be shown
The lyrics to "Witch of Endor" by Bloody Hammers depict a scene of conflict and desperation. The singer appears to be in a chamber, alone with their thoughts as they contemplate the "bringer of war" who intends to overthrow them. The singer admits to ignoring divine instructions and releasing souls with their sword, indicating a loss of faith and moral grounding. Despite this, they push forward through a hail storm and seek the "eyes of the fallen prophet" as their only chance in the coming attack.
The solution to their problems, as outlined in the chorus, is to "raise the dead" and find the "conjuring witch of Endor." The reference to Endor comes from the Biblical story of King Saul, who consulted a medium in Endor to communicate with the deceased prophet Samuel. The singer seems to be willing to resort to any means necessary, even necromancy, to gain an advantage in their struggle. The final lines suggest a glimmer of hope that the singer may receive divine guidance and direction as they continue down a path into the unknown.
Overall, the lyrics of "Witch of Endor" are a dark and intense exploration of desperation and lost faith. The singer is willing to go to extreme measures to achieve their goals, even if it means dabbling in the supernatural. The song has a haunting quality with its driving riffs and intense vocals, which add to the sense of unease and desperation.

Is this song about Charal from that Ewoks movie? Where the Star Wars nerds at to get that reference? :D
Wim Van der Straeten
The song is based on a story in the Old Testament about King Saul visiting the witch of Endor to learn about his fate.

I am digging these guys. Much more than the Black Metal crap. I love metal but the Black Metal sucks.
