Necromancer
Max Cavalera/Sepultura Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can feel the presence of death
Way to the mortuary so the dead's will invoke
Corpses and skulls in my contour
See a corpse bloody with the face in cruciform
Now being from the wrath
Catch the skulls of a children, frozen and dismal
Coming with me
The black mess is started, life's will terminate
With the wrath of the demons started the genocide
Wrath, in my corpus is born
Death, lost legions from Hell
Slaughter, you'll see in sacrifice
Skulls, are christians with blood
Necromancer
Dead's invoker
Necromancer
Dead's invoker
Wrath, odious, desire
In my corpus is born
The fates last, terror's spread
For a necros creature of
The crypts'
The lyrics of "Necromancer" by Max Cavalera/Sepultura depict the imagery of death, violence, and evil. The first two lines immediately set the tone for the song, as the mist heightens the sense of foreboding and the presence of death foreshadows the sinister events to come. The singer then makes their way to the mortuary, where they invoke the will of the dead. The corpses and skulls surrounding them create a macabre atmosphere, and the image of a corpse with its face in cruciform is particularly striking.
The second verse intensifies the violence of the scene, as the singer catches the skulls of frozen and dismal children and comes with a creature to kill in the name of Hell. The black mess has started, and life will terminate with the wrath of demons beginning the genocide. The repeated use of "wrath" emphasizes the singer's desire for vengeance and highlights the destructive power of their actions. The final chorus reiterates the singer's role as a necromancer and dead's invoker, solidifying their allegiance with death and the undead.
Overall, the lyrics of "Necromancer" paint a dark and unsettling picture of death and destruction. The themes of violence and evil are conveyed through vivid imagery and intense repetition, emphasizing the power and malevolence of the singer and their actions.

I love that you guys did this. So many times when bands re-record stuff it sucks. Something gets lost but you guys did it right. You kept the feeling and intensity to these early works. Thank you so much. Much love.
