Erik May You Rape the Angels
Nargaroth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Brothers fall, day by day.
DEAD was first "and all others followed".
But now, another warrior has gone
Into the reaven realm of darkness.
Erik, did you found what you lost:
Your own god?
Erik, did you make your own realm
And your peace?
Erik, was it time, was it time ach' to die?
I could hear the demons cry
Upon the place where this demons fly...
And when I hallucinate the older days I hear
You.
And when I hallicunate the older times I see
You.
And when I will go on, I will keep you in my
Mind.
You will be forever in and forever around my
Heart.
Erik, May you rape the angels!
Erik, may you be your own tragedy!
Erik,
May I die to get up so high
To be with you where the demons fly.
To walk the shadows,
To walk the night,
To run the hills with a Slipnier ride.
I have never seen the lonely stars shine so bright,
Since you has died.
And if you hear my cry run spheres,
You know you will be in my heart.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nargaroth's "Erik, May You Rape the Angels" is a twisted tribute to a fallen warrior named Erik who had gone to the realm of darkness, leaving behind his brotherhood. The song opens up with a somber note as the composer reminisces about the dead brothers and Erik's departure as the next one to fall. The lyrics go on to question if Erik found what he was searching for in the afterlife, or if he created his own realm and found inner peace. The lyrics take a turn to a darker note when the composer declares that he can hear the demons cry on the very place where they fly. The lyrics express a desire to go to where Erik is, walk the night with him, run the hills with a Slipnier ride, and meet him again where the demons fly.


The entire song is shrouded in sorrow and mystery. The lyrics portray a sense of longing and grief, interlaced with hope and a hint of vengeance. The line "Erik, May you rape the angels" is not to be taken in its literal sense. It is instead an expression of how Erik's glory and willpower could shake both the mortal and divine realm. It is a tribute to a warrior who lived and died by his own will, unchained to any worldly pleasures.
