Skjend Hans Lik
Carpathian Forest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

En Evig Kamp Mot Guds Lys!!!

Drep den forstefodte
Skjend hans lik
En fiende av gud
Til evig tid

Hat, Kulde, Dod!!!!

Et hjerte fylt av hat
Ondskapens sjel
Kald likbleik hud
Dodens sanne ansikt

Ond, Grim, Sjel!!!!

Grim hellig forakt
Kristen menneskejakt
Uforsonlig tidlost hat
Gi meg valgjerds hode
Pa et faens solv fat

En dodsmaskin skapt av hat
Mot gud og hele menneskeheten
En iskald trone skapt av uhellig tro
Beskyttet av alt det onde
Og hedensk vikingblod!!!!

En evig kamp, jeg blaser pa ildens glod!!
En fiende av gud, til evig tid!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carpathian Forest's song "Skjend Hans Lik" describe a fight against the Christian God and everything that the religion stands for. The song suggests killing the "forstefødte" (firstborn) and "skjend hans lik" (defiling his corpse) as a way of showing opposition to God. The lyrics go on to describe an individual who is filled with hatred, cruelty, and death who seeks to destroy God and all of humanity.


The lyrics suggest that this individual is a machine of death, created to bring about the downfall of God and all things Christian. The song talks about the cold, unfeeling heart of this creature, its pale skin like that of a corpse, and its constant thirst for death and destruction. The lyrics continue to describe the creature as unrepentantly evil, filled with hateful and dark thoughts, and forever opposed to everything Christian.


Overall, the song can be seen as a critique of Christianity from a pagan perspective. It rejects the idea of an all-powerful God and instead embraces darkness, death, and chaos as fundamental aspects of existence.
