The Night of Fullmoon
Graveland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pagan country in the moonlight
witches calling for their Lord
incantation of the Darkside
from the book of secret world

Scream breaks off nocturnal silence
they begins the rite of Darkness
Hill in the fog
the heart of wood
altar of goat
infernal gloom
nocturnal rite
knife in the hand
worship Darkside
bless Left Hand Path

Pagans hidden in the forest
in unholy common grave

christians killed the last worshiper
but the Dark Cult is still living
I'm the son of a pagan nation
I got a part of secret knowledge
oh Lord I kneel before Thee
Darkness and Evil showed me thy name
I'm still waiting for thy return
The ancient cult will be again
here the god of war and pain.

Black the ultimate colour, darkness the only aim
evil the proper impulse, death the only mercy

Nothing was forgotten and nothing will be ever forgotten




all those who raised their swords against odious christianity
will live forever in dark legend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Graveland's song "The Night of Fullmoon" paint a vivid image of pagans gathering to perform their Darkside ritual under the moonlight. The first verse sets the scene with a pagan country as the backdrop, and witches calling upon their Lord with an incantation from a secret book. The second verse describes the intensity of the rite, as a scream breaks the silence of the night signaling the beginning of the rite of Darkness.


The third verse paints a more detailed picture of the gathering, describing the location as a hill in the fog with an altar of goat within the heart of the wood. The nocturnal rite involves a knife in hand and the worship of the Darkside, blessing their Left Hand Path. The final verse reveals the history of the pagan nation, where the last worshiper was killed by Christians, but the Dark Cult still lives on. The singer proudly proclaims their connection to this ancient cult and awaits the return of their god with hopes to reignite the worship and legendary battles against Christianity.


Overall, the song paints a story of rebellion against the oppression of Christianity and the worship of a god of war and pain through an unholy rite.

At 3:49 Capricornus is banging on the cymbals so hard I can imagine they must've nearly cracked. So ferocious! Also I've always wondered what kind of keyboard Darken uses, the organ sounds so killer!
