Moon Over Kara-Shehr
Emperor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Master! Appear!
Over the nocturnal sky
from the mountains of black we ride.
Fly!
All thy servants fly
though the serpent's darkened sky.
ravaged by his terror.
Master! We ride with the storm
in his name, the sire, wolves' king.
Enter the power coursing
through veins of the night.
Who gathers winds, summons thunder,
summons rain, summons might?
Power ripples through me.
Armageddon's thunder will bring others to my side.
The throne is mine.
A blackened storm of evil.
Evil.
Evil.
Evil.
Master! We ride with the storm to take
revenge in the sky upon the one
who cast thee from his side.
The Emperor's song, Moon Over Kara-Shehr, is a dark and intense expression of power and revenge. The lyrics invoke a sense of unleashing a storm, with the Master being called upon to appear and the servants riding over the nocturnal sky from the mountains of black. The opponents are ravaged by fear, as the power coursing through the night is undeniably strong.
The lyrics speak of gathering winds, summoning thunder and might, with power rippling through the singer. The intention is clear, as Armageddon's thunder will bring others to their side, and the throne of evil shall be theirs. The theme of evil is repeated for emphasis, as the desire for revenge drives the singer on. The final call to ride with the storm and take revenge in the sky upon the one who cast the Master from his side is a culmination of the intense emotions present in the song.
