Dark Lotus made its debut with the single "Echo Side", which was later released on Insane Clown Posse's 1999 album The Amazing Jeckel Brothers. It was later announced that each member "would act as a 'petal' of the lotus," and that there would be six members. After speculation as to who the sixth member would be, including rumors that Esham would join the group, it was announced that Marz would be a member.
Dark Lotus released their first album, Tales from the Lotus Pod, in 2001. Mike E. Clark was brought in to produce the album, but left the project after producing four songs, and Fritz the Cat produced the rest of the album. The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart, #6 on the Top Independent Albums chart, and #158 on the Billboard 200. Marz left the group, and was replaced by James Lowery. In 2002, Tales from the Lotus Pod was reissued in a new version removing Marz' vocals. On April 6, 2004, Dark Lotus released their second studio album, Black Rain. It peaked at #3 on the Top Independent Albums chart, and at #71 on the Billboard 200.
Lowery left the group, and a third album, The Opaque Brotherhood, was released without him. It peaked at #4 on the Top Independent Albums chart, #23 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, #45 on the Top Internet Albums chart, and #45 on the Billboard 200.[4] Allrovi reviewer Stewart Mason praised the album, writing "Nothing on The Opaque Brotherhood will convince anyone who isn't already a fan, but the tormented lyrics and matter-of-fact delivery remove a layer or two of distance and artifice from the band's familiar themes, and make them that much more disturbing as a result.".

Dark Lotus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Wizards, witchdoctors, sorcerers, black magic! God bless Mike E. Clark, ICP, Twiztid, and most of all, all you Juggalos and everyone at Psychopathic Records and even you! The sixth Jokers card will be followed, followed by the end of time itself! It will consume us all!"
Hooragoon, feed the rats
Hooracool, skin the cats
Meckle Heckle Lucifer
Heckle Meckle crucifer
Meditate
Body weight
Castrate
Contemplate
HATE
Decapitate
Segregate
Poison, venom, vixen, pleasure
Vortex, vomit, vulture, treasures
Hex of fire, hex of pain
Hex of losses, hell will gain
Blood of children, blood of pig
Dig, Solomon, dig dig
Dig your grave
Be my slave
A lot of wicked spirits rave
(Chorus)
Blackest magic leave my soul
Give my angels all control
Blackest magic let me be
Keep your black tongue off of me
Blackest magic drop your chain
May you never speak my name
Blackest magic, watch you cower
Bite your tongue and holy power
{Softly}
Why, when people witness magic...
They'll ignore it and say it never happened...
Only thing they'll believe is what's tragic...
God flows and nobody wanna catch it...
I go East, you go West, and the moon follows both of us {it's magic}
Pyramids, circle crops, hunded stone hedge crops {it's magic}
Volcanic lava, earthquakes, weather causes aches {it's magic}
Music, love, the unseen drugs, fuckin' lightning bugs {it's magic}
Hypnosis, ESP, mental telepathy {it's magic}
Amityville, northern lights, blood red moon lit nights {it's magic}
Rings of Saturn, the black hole, mind over body control {it's magic}
Exorcisms, Mary's cryin, unknown objests flyin' {it's magic}
(Chorus)
Frozen fire, call me down
Frozen fire, show me around
Candle wax, drip like tears
War over 1,000 years
Monkey blood, sweet and hot
Take me to my spot
Wait, devil has my tongue
Heaven's bells have now rung
{Reverse message}
Blood of children, blood of pig
Dig, Solomon, dig dig
Dig your grave
Be my slave
Let the holy spirits rave
(Chorus)
{Reverse message}
(Reapeat chorus until song fades)
The lyrics of Dark Lotus's song "cigaM kcalB" are quite dark and disturbing, as they seem to embrace black magic and its practices. The first part of the song features a reversed talk that mentions wizards, sorcerers, witchdoctors, and black magic, and then goes on to mention the artists and label behind the song. The chorus addresses black magic directly, with the singer asking it to "leave my soul" and "drop your chain." The second verse lists various magical phenomena, both natural and supernatural, and claims that they are all "magic." The third verse talks about "frozen fire" and "monkey blood," invoking a sense of danger and unpredictability. The song ends with a reversed message that repeats some of the previous lyrics.
The lyrics of "cigaM kcalB" seem to celebrate the darker side of existence, embracing magic and its power to manipulate reality. The song starts by paying tribute to those who practice black magic and goes on to describe various spells and rituals. The second verse is more abstract, suggesting that everything in the world, even natural phenomena, can be seen as magic. The third verse is more personal, with the singer seemingly asking for help from both heaven and hell. The reversed messages at the end of the song add to its unsettling tone, with the repeated phrase "blood of children, blood of pig" suggesting the use of sacrificial offerings in black magic rituals.
