Be My God
Darkest Oath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through what he spoke and his will was done
All creatures obey your mighty name
The strong and the wonderful Adonai
Let the devil be my God
I address all the unnamed abominable demons with no fear
In the name of all tartarian lords
In the name of archbishop
Of the apology position in the ninth legion
Let the devil be my God
Pale ghosts that only I can renew their withered beauty
I am diving into the abyss of hell
To be a part of them
Uproot your mother from your heart
I look forward to the coming seasons
I am proud to see the destruction of your paradise
Let the devil be my God
Let the devil be my God
Let the devil be my God
Let the devil be my God.
In Darkest Oath's song "Be My God," the lyrics express the desire to reject traditional religious beliefs and instead embrace the devil as one's god. The lyrics suggest a sense of rebellion, as the singer claims to be armed with power from the highest majesty and boldly commands all creatures to obey their mighty name. The contrast between the language of power and the choice to worship the devil highlights the idea that the singer is rejecting traditional notions of good and evil.
The second stanza reveals a fascination with demons, as the singer addresses them without fear and claims to be drunk on their dangerous words. The reference to tartarian lords and an archbishop in the ninth legion suggests a knowledge of occult practices and dark magic. The final stanza includes the line "uproot your mother from your heart," which could be interpreted as a rejection of traditional motherly values and a desire to embrace darkness and destruction. The repetition of the line "let the devil be my god" throughout the song reinforces the idea of a deliberate rejection of traditional religious beliefs.

Armed with power from the highest majesty
Empowered by the divine authority
Through what he spoke and his will was done
By his words and actions, his desires are fulfilled
All creatures obey your mighty name
All living beings submit to your power
The strong and the wonderful Adonai
Addressing the all-powerful Adonai
Let the devil be my God
Preferring to worship the devil
I address all the unnamed abominable demons with no fear
Fearlessly calling out to unknown demonic entities
Drunk on the strange and dangerous words of goetia
Intoxicated by the esoteric and hazardous knowledge of the occult
In the name of all tartarian lords
Invoking the names of lords of Tartarus
In the name of archbishop
Calling upon the authority of the archbishop
Of the apology position in the ninth legion
Holding a high rank in the ninth legion and accepting no defeat
Pale ghosts that only I can renew their withered beauty
Only I have the power to restore the beauty of pale ghosts
I am diving into the abyss of hell
Descending into the depths of hell
To be a part of them
So I can become one of those beings
Uproot your mother from your heart
Removing love and compassion from one's heart
I look forward to the coming seasons
Anticipating the arrival of dark times
I am proud to see the destruction of your paradise
Taking pleasure in the downfall of others' happiness and peace
Let the devil be my God
Preferring to worship the devil
Let the devil be my God
Preferring to worship the devil
Let the devil be my God
Preferring to worship the devil
Let the devil be my God.
Preferring to worship the devil

These guys haven't released anything since 2013, and even then no official full-length album. So with "Daemonic Pyre Ov Gnosis" set for release this year, this is definitely a comeback for them.
Angel Dust
Are they the same Darkest Oath from the 90s or different band?
Alex Cypher
@Angel Dust Yes, it is the same Darkest Oath.
