Danse Macabre
Hecate Enthroned Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Within the bells of eternity chiming, darkness takes us still
We partake now of each others indulgence, according to our will

The tears are the same as they struggle to blame
Congregation shall be burnt to the ground
For the fictions of insanity are holiest hypocrisy
Suffocating now without a sound
I hear you now from a thousand voids
Removed from time and timelessness
Where incarnations of simple nouns
Are beings each with golden crowns
Out beneath the open night
A wanderer lies weeping
In some unspoken sadness
While her dream is oversleeping
Her dreams ablaze with accursed fire
Of regret and eternal vigils
Hallowing nights, temptations lust
Combined of Luciferian sigils

Death will come as sudden
By the magik of our Coven
And the ultimate horror is told
I stand alone and solemn
In the presence of Amon
I am sacrifice slowly going cold

Like embers of the fallen Deinoachus
Dreamt forth of cadavers we sere the face of sadness

I hath thee, and now firmly than those who fear
For upon the shores of languidity, lie the symphone sounds
And fainted cries of battle
Embracing graveless winter, thy goddess luna
Arise infernal one and makes the gates appear
For thou canst not look upon me in shame and
Forever tethered in your thoughts and I
Yet without being consumed in thy reflection
For thou art luciferia, my enchantress of the night
Thy silken Venus engraved with winds of forth loving deity
And sweetness itself on thy lips,
Yet with eagerness to consume and thus fena cafa weeps
Wrapped in teighlight ecstasy as supernal warriors
Upon the shores of Avalon
Where dwelleth thee, they webs of ebony demand the
Dreams macabre
Capturing thy splendour in pain
And perpetually invoking the danse macabre

And wishes drowned in fathomless seed
That she might touch again
The face of her beloved benightress
To submit and to purge Eden
As she descends as a glowing silhouette
Her duality seething lure
That cuts her loose from her marionette
Her spirit still dark and impure





The ribbons of faith and crest held wraith
In potent ebony dreaming of our legend

Overall Meaning

The song Danse Macabre by Hecate Enthroned is a complex and layered piece with multiple themes and interpretations. The lyrics seem to be describing a ritual involving a coven of individuals who are communing with each other and with the darkness surrounding them. The opening lines suggest a merging of time and space, as the bells of eternity chime and darkness takes over. The group indulges in their desires and passions, guided only by their wills.


The middle section of the song becomes more ominous, with talk of a congregation being burnt to the ground and the suffocation of those without a voice. It seems as though the group, with their indulgence, are on a path to destruction, with only darkness and regret in their wake. However, even in this darkness, there are moments of beauty and wonder, such as the singer hearing voices from a thousand voids and beings with golden crowns.


The end of the song becomes more personal, as the singer talks of their relationship with the deity Amon and their eventual sacrifice. There is a sense of inevitability to this sacrifice, as if the singer has accepted their fate and is willing to embrace it. They also mention a beloved benightress, who they wish to touch but cannot due to their own darkness and impurity.


Overall, the lyrics of Danse Macabre present a complex and sometimes contradictory view of the darkness and spirituality that the band is exploring.
