Krull
Conan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My name is Krull
I live on a mountain
I know where you're from
It's in the fountain
Worship Krull
Within the Mountain
My God's have gone
Into the fountain
Madness and horror
Daggers and teeth




Wrestle the Gods
In the swamps of the dead

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Conan's song Krull describe a deity named Krull who resides on a mountain and is worshiped by his followers. Krull is powerful and knowledgeable; he knows where the listeners come from, and his followers pay their respects to him within the mountain. However, the song also alludes to a more sinister side of Krull's power. The gods that used to be worshipped by Krull and his followers have been defeated and cast down into the fountain, and the landscape around Krull's mountain is one of madness and horror, where daggers and teeth wait to attack. The final line of the song portrays a brutal image of a struggle between the gods and the terrifying creatures that live in the swamps of the dead.


Overall, Krull is a song that paints a picture of a dark and dangerous world where powerful beings vie for supremacy. The lyrics suggest that Krull and his followers are on the winning side of this struggle, but the cost of that victory is a landscape of violence and death.
