Mala
E Nomine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mala Mala erböre1 mich.
Mala Mala beschwöre dich.

Aus den Tiefen der Ängste steigt es empor.
Seine Macht ist gross wie niemals zuvor.
Tausend Jahre hat es geruht.
Der Anfang vom Ende, Symbole aus Blut...
[Kinderstimmen]:
Mala Mala erböre1 mich.
Mala Mala beschwöre dich.
Mala Mala der Euch verbannt.
Das Spiel der Spiele führt meine Hand.

Apologus Et Crudelitas

Geheim ist der Ort, die Stunden gezählt.
So habt ihr euch selbst als Opfer erwählt.
Keiner hat es je gewonnen.
Das Spiel der Spiele hat begonnen...

Maga mala: Lubridium In Terra

[Maga mala]:
Lubridium in terra
opacus impavidus.
Apologus et crudelitas.
Das Spiel der Spiele...

[Kinderstimmen]:





Das Spiel der Spiele führt meine Hand.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of E Nomine's song "Mala" are complex and full of mystery. They tell the story of an ancient, powerful entity that is summoned from the depths of fear by a person who is willing to play the "Game of Games" with it. The entity is described as having a great power and having been dormant for thousands of years. The person who has summoned the entity believes that they can control it, but it becomes clear that the entity cannot be controlled and that the person has put themselves in great danger.


The song contains several references to ancient mythology and religion, including symbols of blood and the concept of "Lubridium in Terra," which is Latin for "dirty land." The children's voices that interject through the song add an eerie tone to the proceedings, especially when they repeatedly chant "Mala Mala, erboere mich," and "Mala Mala, beschwore dich," echoing the summoning of the entity.


The lyrics of "Mala" are rich in meaning and symbolism, and require careful listening to fully understand their significance. They describe a battle between good and evil, and the temptation to make deals with dark forces that can ultimately lead to one's undoing. The song is a warning against summoning something that cannot be controlled and making deals that are ultimately harmful to oneself and others.
