Reverence to the Obscure
Infernum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I drink in,
The meads... of the Night-hymn,
Drunken,
Of the dews... ere Dawn.
My chalice,
The token... of the hunter.
My palace,
The realm... of the stars.
Oh, reverence,
To the wisdom... of the Moon!
Crossing,
The jeweled crown... of heaven.
I follow,
Thy paths... too soon,
Un' the lead,
Of the forest whisper.
I wander,
The worlds-forgotten.
I sunder,
The wild bloom.
I plunder,
The golden harvest
With the Wolves,
To share my wealth.
Reverence,
In celestial Blood!
Brethren,
To the charioteer.
The paths of the fire-wheel,




Burn blue,
Upon... the call of my arrival...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Reverence to the Obscure" by Infernum describe the singer's deep connection with nature and the night. The beginning lines of the song indicate that the singer is indulging in the beauty of the night-time, and its mysteries. The use of the metaphorical language implies that the singer is consuming the essence of the night like a drink, which could be an allusion to the fact that the singer is using it to fuel himself for his mystical journey.


Further on, the chalice and the palace mentioned in the lyrics indicate that the singer is associated with hunting and hunting-gods. He is within his element while traversing through different dimensions of the forest as he follows the lead of whispers. The resulting actions of the singer involve the destruction of nature and the disturbance of its balance. The line "I plunder, the golden harvest with the wolves to share my wealth" illustrates that the singer and the wolves are equally involved in this quest. Ultimately, the singer appeals to the Moon to pay homage to the celestial blood and invites the listener on a journey towards the path of the fire-wheel.
