At War With Satan
Cronos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The dark silouette of the creature
Poised, crouched on the corner of a cliffs edge
Waits eagerly, eyes glare patiently.
Red eyes filled with fire and torment

Gleam in the frenzied brightness
Across the shadowed vallies below.
A crack of thunder breaks the deafening silence
Which once ruled the planes, the creature is unmoved

By the commotion and the noise, and the blinding fork
Of lightening which strikes only a few yards from where
Lays it wait for something...
Satan laughs, wings spread to magnificent fullness,

The creature stands at full glory, inhaling deeply
The ice cold air each tender muscle rippling in
The almighty stench of the great dimensional diety...
Lucifer smiles, from the far far west a chariot of fire
Emerges travelling at a tremendous speed toward the

Creature, the creature laughs as if in an immense
State of frenzy the creature leaps up off the ridge
And hollers with dignity in the now cloudless sky
Its long red hair blowing freely in the wind...

The chariot emerges and with a sharp swift movement
The creature takes the reigns and flies up into the
Night, howling out immortal cries, a prediction
Of war,

At war with Satan!

The warriors gather slowly around
The sacred city, Hell
Satan screams a vengeance
On the land as the angels fell

Tyrants pray disaster for the
Land of love and trust
Demons plot a way to turn
The Heavens into dust.

The standard bearers chosen
From the mass of Satan's dogs
To hold the flag of Hades high
Defying all the gods

Satan laughs the words of war
The Heavens shake with fear
Armageddon sings his song
The battle's ever near.

Let the joyous celebrations of Hell begin

Who holds the keys to the seven gates?

Lucifer's demonic laughter
Assist our quest, Belial prays
Free from Hell who serves the master
Sound the charge on Sabbaths day.

Charge!

Crest the demon's souls
Show yourselves in power
Angels fear resist
Nothing holds the storm

Inform the grand master of Hades

Storm the gates!

Free from the pits of Hell
Slaves emerge the mountain
We shall destroy the accursed Heavens
Advance great legions strong
Crush the gates and enter free
Our lord of Hell must take God's throne
Heavenly inferno
Spread the message far...

Take to the skies!

Come on...

Frenzied demons - Angel's cries
Lucifer commands the orgy
Molten mayhem, one thousand lies
Heaven fails to hold tranquility

The brides of sin are wed
Their price, nine holy heads
White marble walls bleed red

Fuck the Bastards

Come on...

God's creation - all must see

Heavens Hell
God has fell
Sound the knell

Where time and space collide
Mortals sit and watch the tide
Of Angels crashing up against the sacred shore

Without the holy grail
Only evil can prevail
The church of God can't hide the truth no more
Can't see the light no more

Light up the skies...

The Demons ring the Sabbath bells
Rejoice the witches chant
Preper the sacrifice - by fire
The blood runs black through heavens shell
Declare the witches dance
Nothing shall suffice
The souls of Christ

Drag him through the whores!

Come on...
Come on...

Orgies filled with joyous laughter
Alters of the flesh
Equinox eternal glory
El descends in death

Satan's empire
A new born flaming star
Children screaming out in pain
Destroy the priests
Destroy their reign

Tyrant pledge the souls of legions
Sullen and remorse
Tana turns the key of life
To hear the thunder roar

Ancients gather amidst the stars
Mortals stare in fear
The Earth is damned beneath the mist
A veil of angels tears

White clouds of life are turning black
The virgin pure she fears attack

Come on...

You are damned...

Children of pleasure move
Appear amongst us
The dark Lord has opened his jaws
Raise for Satanic queen
Ye sons and daughters
Take heed the flame forever learn
Now is come salvation
Strength and the kingdom of our
Satanic majesty
You'll always learn!

Are you damned in Hell?

Damned in Hell

Lilith holds the black heart in her hands
The blood flows
Desecration of God's holy shrine
Armageddon

Hahahahahhahaha

Pandamonium burns in the night
The Hell spawn
Celebrations at Sabbats galore
Unite with mother whore

Take that bitch
We shall not be destroyed...

Satan laughs, damnation has sunk its talons deep
Into the womb of utopia spilling forth great streams
Of virginal purity and bliss.
The golden throne of the tetgrammaton is ablaze,
Satanic majesty sits proud, the joyous drones of celebration

Enact scenes of blasphemy, lust and destruction.
Raping the holy trinity the Sabbath chimes the tunes of bless
And sanity, the Heavens in their last throes of death.
Gabriel and his arc angels falling ever downwards through the

Fires of pandemonium to the dark deserted depths of Hell
Their broken bloodstained wings scorched the by raging inferno
Lay battered by the shores of the styx.
Weary from the battle they seek refuge, bathing their wounds

In the blood of a million matyrs while celebration ringing
In the heavens grows strong the keys to the seven gates of Hell
Lie momenterally unguarded.
Raging flames carved by the innocence of the angel's hearts

Will release forth their wealth of centuries of God loving
Souls once wronged of their destiny of Heaven's golden palace.
An unseen presence breaths never before pangs of mortal hatred
And anger deep into the pounding hearts of the angels.

Once more the creature is summoned to deliver a decleration of
War,

At war with Satan!

The angels gather slowly around
The sacred city Hell
Gabriel screams a vengeance of the
Land as the angels fell

Matyrs prey disaster for the
Land of hate and scorn




The Angels curse the day the antichrist
Was ever born...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cronos's song At War With Satan are an intense and graphic portrayal of the battle between the forces of Heaven and Hell. The opening stanzas describe a creature, possibly Satan, perched on the edge of a cliff, waiting patiently for something. As the storm rages on around it, the creature stands in all its glory, inhaling deeply and seemingly awaiting the arrival of Lucifer's chariot of fire. When it appears, the creature takes the reins and flies off into the night, howling in a state of frenzy, predicting war. As the song progresses, the warriors of both Heaven and Hell gather, with Satan commanding his legions of demons to storm the gates of Heaven and take God's throne. The lyrics are filled with references to blasphemy, lust, destruction, and the relentless pursuit of power and dominance.


The overall tone and imagery of the lyrics are dark, brooding, and confrontational, reflecting the eternal tension between good and evil. The lyrics are also highly symbolic, with many references to biblical themes and characters. The song portrays a world ruled by chaos and violence, where the only law is the law of the jungle. It is a world where might makes right, and where the powerful seek to crush the weak.

Fires of pandemonium to the dark, desolate depths of Hell

Their fractured, blood-soaked wings seared by the raging inferno


Lay battered by the shores of the styx.
Lie battered on the banks of the river Styx.


Weary from the battle they seek refuge, bathing their wounds
Weary from the battle, they seek shelter and tend to their wounds


In the blood of a million matyrs while celebration ringing
In the blood of countless martyrs as the festive atmosphere resonates


In the heavens grows strong the keys to the seven gates of Hell
In the celestial realm, the power over the seven gates of Hell strengthens


Lie momenterally unguarded.
Temporarily unattended.


Raging flames carved by the innocence of the angel's hearts
Violent flames ignited by the purity of the angels' hearts


Will release forth their wealth of centuries of God loving
Will unleash their treasure of centuries of devotion to God


Souls once wronged of their destiny of Heaven's golden palace.
Souls once robbed of their destined place in Heaven's glorious palace.


An unseen presence breaths never before pangs of mortal hatred
An invisible presence breathes unprecedented waves of human hatred


And anger deep into the pounding hearts of the angels.
And anger deeply into the beating hearts of the angels.


Once more the creature is summoned to deliver a decleration of
Once again, the being is summoned to make a declaration of


War,
War


At war with Satan!
Engaged in a battle against Satan!


The angels gather slowly around
The angels gradually gather around


The sacred city Hell
The revered city, Hell


Gabriel screams a vengeance of the
Gabriel shouts in vengeance against the


Land as the angels fell
Land where the angels have fallen


Matyrs prey disaster for the
Martyrs pray for disaster upon


Land of hate and scorn
Land filled with hatred and contempt


The Angels curse the day the antichrist
The angels curse the day the antichrist


Was ever born...
Was ever born...
