Conjuration Sworn
Hour of Penance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Decimating his empire of splendour
Denying all his creations
Unbound we rise and destroy his reign
Torn apart in fragments and burn the scriptures of joy and grace
With the ashes of his empire, we will bury every church down in the sand
Inverted crosses will rise, as vexill of the triumph of men
To reign the world in chaos 'till its destruction
We will break with force his majesty
We will spit against his cross
With the consciousness of our Reason
We will tear apart his son
Let his wisdom of grace fall
Let his words of falsity rot
Through the primal hate and iniquity
He will fall from his throne
Sing curses unto his name
Sing curses unto his name
Torn apart in fragments
The scriptures of joy and grace
As a un-divine conjuration
Against the holy creation
Against the father, the son and the holy ghost
The chains of god we will break forth
Decimating his empire of splendour
Decaying all his creations
Unbound we rise and destroy his reign
Inverted crosses will rise, as vexill of the triumph of men
Behold the chaos
Behold the fall of the tyrant
Behold the fall of the angels
Behold the fall of the reign of god
With the ashes of his empire, we will bury every church down in the sand
Throw your hopes into the fire we will bury every faith in the dust
Damned souls now walk on the earth claiming their revenge for his abuse
To reign the world in chaos till its destruction
Behold the chaos
Behold the tyrant's fall
Behold the chaos
Till its destruction
We will break with force his majesty
We will spit against his cross
We'll tear apart his son
Our conjuration sworn
The lyrics to Hour of Penance's song "Conjuration Sworn" are provocative and intense, expressing a desire to overthrow and destroy the reign of God. The lyrics suggest that the chains of God will be broken, and his empire of splendor will be decimated, denying all of his creations. The song emphasizes the consciousness of Reason over the wisdom of grace, tearing apart God's son and letting his words of falsity rot. The lyrics sing curses unto his name and describe the destruction of every church and faith, with inverted crosses rising as the symbol of the triumph of men. The conjuration sworn against the holy creation, the father, son, and holy ghost, will bring about chaos and destruction until the tyrant falls.
The song "Conjuration Sworn" is a powerful statement against organized religion and the authority of God. It suggests an uprising of human reason against the dogma and falsity of religious zealotry. The lyrics express a desire to see the downfall of the divine and to take revenge for the abuses perpetrated by the holy creation. It is a manifesto of rebellion against the long-standing institutions of faith and the tyranny of God.

I love Hour of Penance so much. Their music summon a portal through which the mightiest dragons of the Universe infest the Earth and consume the hiding beasts of evil.

Why would these dragons feast on evil beast? Hour of penance isn't about purity, so wouldn't they feast on the innocent? Just a thought.
