Herr der Sklaven
Camulos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Verwesender Geruch, darin ein gieriger Keim
Der Keim soll wachsen, sie alle zu knechten
Ihren Glauben zu tцten, sie alle zu schдchten
Jesu Christ, Herr der kranken Seelen
Ich mцchte Dir mein Opfer zu FьЯen legen
Ein blutiges Kind vom Christ erschlagen
Er ist geboren, der Herr der Sklaven kehrte heim,
Die Menschheit zu vergiften, aus Wasser macht er Blut
Lebend sterben jene, die ihm folgen
Nicht fдhig, das Wahre zu sehen
Schleppen ihre todgeweihten Leiber in die Leichenhallen vor Deinem Altar
Ich warte auf den jьngsten Tag, um Dich erneut ans Kreuz zu schlagen
Ausgeweidet wird dann Dein Leib, Dein toter Kцrper ins Hцllenreich getragen
Jesu Christ, Herr der kranken Seelen
Ich mцchte Dir mein Opfer zu FьЯen legen
Ein blutiges Kind vom Christ erschlagen
Es wird meinen Hass in seinen Augen tragen
Er ist geboren, der Herr der Sklaven kehrte heim,
Die Menschheit zu vergiften, aus Wasser macht er Blut
The lyrics to Camulos's song Herr der Sklaven describe the rise of a dark and malevolent power that seeks to ensnare and enslave humanity. The first stanza paints a grotesque picture of sickness and decay festering within the hearts of those who are caught under the sway of this power. The second stanza speaks of a sacrificial offering of a slaughtered child given to Jesus Christ, with the intention of carrying the hateful essence of the deed into his eyes. The subsequent stanzas detail the destruction and death that follows in the wake of the malevolent power's influence, including the conversion of water into blood and the dragging of bodies to an altar.
The themes present in the lyrics can be construed as a comment on the corrupting and destructive nature of power and how those who wield it can shape and decimate the world around them. The use of Christian imagery further emphasizes the idea of power and control, as well as the potential for corruption and abuse.
Overall, the lyrics to Herr der Sklaven present a haunting and chilling vision of humanity's potential fall to darkness and the price that would be paid for succumbing to it.
