Savage Messiah
Carrion Vael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So, punish them all, the godless must fall to my hammer.
Starvation, delusion, the end brings all the solutions my friends.
We cut off the skin and drain of the evil that's trapped of within.
Lay here, my dearest we must fear. The words of our savior this day, we must cut away the demons within you, the plagues of a sinner.
Tonight, in the moonlight. A rage flows within you, like wine of the fissure, you die like the swine that we ban of Elysium.
Savage messiah. Cauterised by the pain and desire. I provide all the hate you require.
In the end we will wash in the fire and never fear death again.
In the end we will wash in the fire and never fear death again.
Exalt my powers, for life through the holes I then shower. With seed and then breath can be powered. Now follow my suit, the void needs your spore before threads can be used.
Sew her guts that I've torn from her lifeless we must remember our faith.
Her bowles rust. Now drink of my waste, no time for the sleep that she craves on this day
Lay here, my dearest we must fear. The words of our savior this day, we must cut away the demons within you, the plagues of a sinner.
Tonight, in the moonlight. A rage flows within you, like wine of the fissure, you die like the swine that we ban of Elysium.
Now Now is the time. For tearing apart, all that we are, and leaving the lost left to find.
For youYou are all mine. No matter the cost, can't bear all the loss. I'll kill you if you ever hide.
Savage savior. We follow you till the end, no matter the cost only death can awaken him.
Savage savior. We follow you till the end, no matter the cost only death can awaken him.
Awakened him, sealed all the fate for them. Not a god, just a man full of hate and gin.
Cut the skin, bring to life. Just a shit covered corpse that you once called your wife.
You're a savage savior. Nothing more, not a god, just a man.
Now die all alone, just as broken as they all did.
Lay here, my dearest we must fear. The words of our savior this day, we must cut away the demons within you, the plagues of a sinner.
Tonight, in the moonlight. A rage flows within you, like wine of the fissure, you die like the swine that we ban of Elysium.
The lyrics to Carrion Vael's "Savage Messiah" present a complex narrative that intertwines themes of prophecy, violence, and the human struggle with inner demons. The portrayal of the singer as both a "prophet" and a "healer" suggests an individual who has been marked by faith and belief, yet is fundamentally misunderstood or rejected by the very followers he attempts to save. This duality creates a tension between his divine aspirations and the harsh realities faced by those around him. The phrase "punish them all, the godless must fall to my hammer" implies an aggressive stance against unbelievers, encapsulating an almost zealot-like fervor where the singer sees violence as a means of purification. The contrast between the desire for healing and the method of using a hammer highlights the brutality underpinning his vision, where solutions lie in extremes.
The imagery of "cutting off the skin" and "draining the evil" invokes a visceral sense of ritualistic violence and self-sacrifice. This suggests that true healing or redemption requires an extreme confrontation with one's inner demons—the "plagues of a sinner." The singer's insistence on purification through pain showcases the concept that redemption is not only about faith but also about confronting one's darkest truths. The lyrics reference the inevitability of death and suffering, likening emotions of rage to "wine of the fissure," presenting suffering as something both intoxicating and destructive. This motif reflects a broader commentary on the human condition, where pain is intertwined with the search for meaning, and the process of facing mortality becomes a path to transcendence, albeit a tumultuous one.
As the singer embraces his role as a "savage savior," the lyrics indicate a transformation from victimization to a commanding figure that wields hate and desire as his tools. The repetition of "cauterised by the pain and desire" emphasizes his acceptance of suffering as part of the process. This depiction of a cult-like devotion fostered among followers underscores a larger critique of blind allegiance to charismatic leaders who promise salvation through violence, hinting at the potential for manipulation and exploitation. The dark empowerment found in suffering resonates through the lines, as the singer claims he can fulfill the followers' thirst for hatred and vengeance, reinforcing a cyclical nature of violence and the allure of destructive tendencies.
Ultimately, the conclusion of the lyrics reflects a grim acceptance of mortality and the futility of seeking solace in the false promises of divine figures. The recognition that he is "not a god, just a man full of hate and gin" forces an acknowledgment of human flaws and the limitations inherent in leadership. The act of dismembering and reducing once cherished individuals to mere "shit-covered corpses" symbolizes the ruin left in the wake of fanaticism and spiritual destruction. The constant refrain of cutting away demons reveals the underlying struggle of maintaining faith when faced with the harsh realties of life and death. The cyclical descent portrayed through the analogy of dying "like the swine that we ban of Elysium" encapsulates the tragedy of lost potential and the bleak conclusion that arises when humanity reaches for salvation but instead finds only decay and despair.

He is not divine, merely a human marred by loathing and intoxication.
Cut the skin, bring to life.
Incise the flesh to stimulate vitality.
Just a shit covered corpse that you once called your wife.
Merely a decayed body, once identified as your spouse.
You're a savage savior.
You're a merciless rescuer.
Nothing more, not a god, just a man.
Nothing beyond that; not a deity, but a mere human.
Now die all alone, just as broken as they all did.
Now perish in solitude, equally shattered as those who came before.
