Slayer Of Holiness
Darkest Oath Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

King men call thee
Thou slayer of holiness
Him loved I
An oath uttered

Of old was an age
Of Evil and darkness
Demonic shapes arose

From the dip shapes
Over sheer hells
All lovers of darkness
Foes immortal
Unbegotten miasmas
Out of the ancient black holes

King men call thee
Thou slayer of holiness
Him loved I
An oath uttered

In forge's fire of unholy magic
In panic then fled they foes demons
The big black wolf
Waking's and dies no more

In came the Azagthoth
Evil pondering
Thy womb shall wax
With the world 's most evil chosen

Till ages end
All shall name him
Evilest of all evils
With flawless glory

King men call thee
Thou slayer of holiness

Him loved I
An oath uttered.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Slayer of Holiness" by Darkest Oath describe a time of evil and darkness in the past, where demonic beings arose from the depths and all lovers of darkness and immortal enemies emerged. The song invokes imagery of pure evil and hints at the existence of an entity that is known as the "Slayer of Holiness," a figure whom the king's men call upon. The singer of the song confesses his love for someone named "him," and in doing so, he takes an oath.

The second verse speaks of the power of unholy magic and the defeat of demons, as well as the emergence of a black wolf that eventually dies. The mention of Azagthoth, an evil character who is contemplating an evil plan, sets the tone for the final portion of the song. The last verse alludes to the coming of someone, an unborn figure destined to be the evilest of all evils with flawless glory, named the "world's most evil chosen." The song seems to be conveying a narrative where a new evil force is rising to power, and the performer is in awe of its strength and glory.
