Xerxes Intro
King Gordy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever in your life seen something so evil?
Tongue kissing your wife right here in this cathedral
The darkness shall rise, the sky′s starting to bleed through
The sweet Jesus is dying now read this bible we wrote
But our version is different, it involves murder and sinning
With God being the victim and Lord Lucifer winning
The beginning indeed. The snake manipulates Eve
To give the Adam the apple. For seven days you shall bleed
Out of your womb. You'll be consumed, as terror glooms, and I assume
I′ll be in rooms full of gold, they'll bury me in the tombs
Then I'll be resurrected, in less than seven seconds
I will not accept the presence of God to me he′s just an effing peasant
So I′ll give you this present. It's a gift and a blessing
Instead of resting in heaven give your flesh to a legend
To Mars and Mercury and since God em-birthed me




Allah can′t hurt me. I am the God they call...
They call me Xerxes! My God, my God. Oh they call me Xerxes! My God, my God. They call me Xerxes! My God, my God. For I am a God-king!

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics from King Gordy's song "Xerxes Intro," the artist is exploring themes of evil, manipulation, and his own self-proclaimed god-like status. The opening lines pose a rhetorical question, asking if the listener has ever witnessed something as wicked as tongue-kissing someone's wife in a holy place like a cathedral. This provocative image sets the tone for the dark and controversial themes that follow.


The next lines emphasize the impending rise of darkness, symbolized by the bleeding sky. The lyrics suggest that Jesus is dying, but in this alternative perspective, the Bible has been rewritten to depict a narrative of murder and sin, with God as the victim and Lucifer as the victor. This twist challenges traditional religious beliefs and highlights the artist's intense criticism and rejection of organized religion and the concept of a higher power.


The reference to the biblical story of Adam and Eve portrays Eve's manipulation by a snake to offer Adam the forbidden apple, resulting in humanity's fall from grace. The lyrics then describe the consequences of this act, with women enduring pain and suffering through menstruation, and the artist himself anticipating a glorious afterlife in gold-filled rooms and tombs, promising his resurrection within seconds of death.


The lyrics continue to assert the artist's superiority over God, rejecting him as a mere peasant and presenting himself as a self-proclaimed god-like figure. The namedropping of Mars and Mercury implies connections to ancient mythologies and further reinforces his god-like persona. The artist dismisses the power of Allah, suggesting his own invulnerability and dominance. Thus, Xerxes is presented as a deity, exclaiming that people refer to him as such, bestowing him with divine qualities and the status of a god-king.


Overall, these lyrics delve into religious skepticism, asserting the artist's rejection of traditional religious beliefs and the concept of a supreme being. They convey a dark and controversial perspective, challenging conventional religious narratives and positioning the artist as a subversive figure who claims an elevated status in the pantheon of gods.

They bestow upon me the name of Xerxes! I am their divine ruler, referred to as God!
