Faces of Apocalyptic Battle
Grave Desecrator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Misery and meeks fills our horizon
Udner the winds of personification
Of the purest christian domination
Open wide the front lines
The bloodred moon shines
Unsilent steps crushing the ground
Under the embrace of twilight
Where sunless sky is raining black
Like a nightmare wi stand unlight
Splendorous times we'll bring back
Chorus
Goatworshipping possessing our soul
Endless fury taking our mind
Anihhillation of god's disease
Glory awaits us at war
Hunger becama hate
For those who seek honoured fate
Killing idols and insignificance
Heralds of heaven die in penitence
The lyrics of Grave Desecrator’s song “Faces of Apocalyptic Battle” explores themes of religious clash, chaos and the quest for glory amidst a backdrop of destruction. The opening lines “Marching towards Armageddon, Misery and meeks fills our horizon, Under the winds of personification, Of the purest Christian domination” suggest the presence of impending conflict, as well as the atrocities that come with religious dominance.
In the chorus, the use of the phrase “Goatworshipping possessing our soul” and “Anihhillation of god’s disease” can be interpreted as a rejection of the traditional religious beliefs in favor of the worship of the devil, which can be attributed to the black metal genre that Grave Desecrator is known for. There is also an emphasis on the glory and honor that comes with going to war, as the phrase “Glory awaits us at war” suggests.
The song’s violent imagery and anti-Christian sentiments are also evident in lines such as “Killing idols and insignificance, Heralds of heaven die in penitence”. These lyrics suggest a deep hatred and desire to completely eradicate anything that goes against the belief system that the band is projecting.
