Angel of Darkness
Holyhell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one who walks in flame
Blood of ancient serpents rise
Wings spread above the slain
Where fallen angels reign
They live in terror of the light
Know your fear is alive
Angel of Darkness
Standing in the light
I see Satan
Ruler of night
Flames of hell burn high
Rising to the sky
A veil of death cloaks the night
Wings spread above the slain
Where fallen angels reign
They live in terror of light
When you feel crucified
Know your fear is alive
Angel of Darkness
Standing in the light
I see Satan
Ruler of night
Chorus Repeats
Angel of Darkness, Angel of Darkness
The lyrics of Holyhell's song "Angel of Darkness" depict a dark, ominous tone with references to the devil and hell. The song starts with the singer acknowledging the call of darkness and proclaims the one who walks in flame - possibly indicating that the singer herself is a fallen angel. The blood of ancient serpents rising can be interpreted as a reference to evil rising and spreading its influence. The imagery of wings spread above the slain where fallen angels reign highlights a battleground between heaven and hell, with the latter being in control.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Angel of Darkness" which could be interpreted in two ways - either a reference to the singer herself being a fallen angel or as a reference to Satan, the ruler of the night. The line "When you feel crucified, know your fear is alive" speaks to the experience of going through trying times, indicating that fear of darkness and evil is always present.
Overall, the lyrics of "Angel of Darkness" can be seen as a representation of the fight between good and evil, with the singer referencing her own struggle with the darkness within.
