The Gate Of Nanna
Hellfucked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the land, the sphere of eternal sin
A half light, dark the realm of Nanna
The realm of spirits and the father of the gods
Oh, shine of moon, of the astral gods
It ravishes, it calls us to sin...
Lord Nanna, of the race of Anu
Lord Nanna, o hero of the gods
Lord Nanna, the gate of sin...
Ave Satan, Ave Lucifer, Ave Satan, Alla Xul
Ave Satan, Ave Lucifer, Ave Satan, Gigim Xul
Sleep...
The song "The Gate of Nanna" is a tribute to the Sumerian moon god, Nanna, who was considered the father of the gods and an important deity in Mesopotamian religion. The lyrics describe a dream-like descent into the realm of Nanna, which is portrayed as a half-dark, mysterious land of eternal sin. The moon, which was associated with Nanna, is depicted as a seductive force that lures the listener towards sinful behavior.
The chorus pays homage to Nanna by referring to him as a hero of the gods and the gate of sin. The use of the word "gate" in this context is significant because it was believed that the Babylonian city of Ur (where Nanna was worshiped) had a ceremonial gate that represented the entrance to the underworld. In Sumerian religion, the underworld was ruled by the goddess Ereshkigal and was considered a dark, foreboding place.
The refrain "Ave Satan, Ave Lucifer, Ave Satan, Alla Xul, Ave Satan, Ave Lucifer, Ave Satan, Gigim Xul" is a nod to the Satanic/occult themes that are present in Hellfucked's music. "Ave" is a Latin word that means "hail" or "greetings," and "Xul" is a word that is often associated with Satanism and the Left Hand Path.
