(chant of the Nephilim)

Find the darkness in yourself!
Yea! Try taste the blood from a thousand cuts,
Bless your enemies with your razor's kiss,
Bring 'em blinding shattering silver tears,
See the world behind you dead and gone,,
Where no one lives but the beasts alone,

Rise and see, rise and see, rise and see,
When the moon will share the pre-dawn sky,
Rise and see, rise and see, rise and see,
There's more to darkness than meets your eye,

Hear the eternal swallowing cosmic cries,
See my anger rising from its core,
Putrid piles of fucking human waste,
Wandering from king to king in hell,
Burning crystalline devil's flame,
Apocalyptic haunted futures seen,

Rise and see, rise and see, rise and see,
A bloodshed in the flight of dawn,
Rise and see, rise and see, rise and see,
When the moon will share the pre-dawn sky,
Rise and see, rise and see, rise and see,
There's more to darkness than meets your eye,

[solo: Adam the First Sinner]

With wanton ecstasy,
We smile and the world spins around,
You're churning me, twisting, sucking on the life,
In chaotic bliss,
See us in the world where sanity is just a fiery myth.
Toxic blood flows from our veins, in chaotic bliss,
Like skin falling off a bone,
You're churning me, sucking on the life,
With wanton ecstasy,
We smile and the world spins around,




We'd rather crawl from king to king in hell.
Than give your god a single bow!

Overall Meaning

The song "Necropolis" by Hate is a display of raw, aggressive blackened death metal with some elements of thrash metal. It starts with the chant of the Nephilim, a reference to the ancient biblical giants who lived before the Great Flood. The lyrics then invite the listener to find the darkness within themselves and taste the blood from a thousand cuts, symbolizing the acceptance and appreciation of pain and suffering. The next verses are about embracing one's anger, seeing the world in ruins, and wandering through hell, all while rejecting the authority of any god.


The chorus calls for the listener to rise and see, suggesting a transformation or awakening towards a new way of being. The pre-dawn sky and the darkness that meets the eye represent the hidden potential and possibilities that lie beyond the mundane and the superficial. The solo by Adam the First Sinner is a virtuoso display of guitar mastery, adding a touch of beauty and complexity to the overall brutal sound of the song.


The final verses are about the ecstatic pleasure of being consumed by chaos and seeing sanity as a mere illusion. The toxic blood flowing from the veins and the skin falling off a bone symbolize the decay and dissolution of the physical body, which can also be a source of joy and liberation. The last line is a defiant challenge to any religious authority, preferring to crawl in hell rather than bowing to a god.
