Before A Circle Of Darkness
Judas Iscariot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Feel, the fires of hatred
Blood, raise the blood of sin
Blood, my bleeding heart
Torment, loves the scums
Circle of darkness
The blood, the black, the pain
Hell, feel the pains of hell
Sleep, deep in eternal sleep
Time, lost in earthly time
Bleed, bleed, f****are bleed!
Torment, loves the scums
Circle of darkness
The blood, the black, the pain
In unholy torment
The dreams before death
The rocks of time
The dust of life
Blessed be the darkness
The dreams before death
The rocks of time
The dust of life
Blessed be
the darkness
The lyrics of Judas Iscariot's song "Before A Circle Of Darkness" depict a dark and ominous tone. The opening line, "First, we poison the rocks of blood," suggests an act of violence or destruction. The following lines, "Feel, the fires of hatred / Blood, raise the blood of sin / Blood, my bleeding heart," add to the sense of darkness and evil, as if the singer is reveling in the pain and suffering they have caused.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Torment, loves the scums / Circle of darkness / The blood, the black, the pain / In unholy torment," emphasizing the theme of pain and torture. The second verse adds the imagery of hell and eternal sleep, furthering the sense of despair and hopelessness.
The final lines, "The dreams before death / The rocks of time / The dust of life / Blessed be the darkness," suggest a resignation to darkness and death. The music contributes to this overall sense of despair with its slow, heavy, and distorted guitar riffs and pounding drums.

In this chariot
Striking for the gates
With mirror [?] [?]

With no tides [?]

There is the life of power
Forever (forever, forever), be, forever
Nights (nights, nights), forever (forever),
Hail, and take me
And there's a force of ancienty
And there's a sign of night
Here in the gates of the cursed raise
The undead
Forever (forever, forever), be, forever
Yeah
A cursed raised of tyranny [?]
Before the rage obsses
Coming for the [?] [?]

Rise the king of
Of the army
From the dead
