AWAKENING
Necrophobic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm no longer a victim of God
I died for the right master
The one that I will serve
They'll believe my soul is resting
But how can they be so wrong
This is where life begins
Where it will be everlasting
I'm rising in this unholy kingdom
A paradise made for the immortals
Where your corpse shall be our feast
Underneath the blackened ground
An unholy ritual is soon to begin
Gathering for a black mass
As I speak the words of Satan
[Chorus]
As darkness falls
Spirits are set free
As darkness fall
Awakening of the dead
From the chalice filled with blood
We drink and increase the immortal power
United in a dance of death
To cause damnation against the false
As you call upon your fake God
Devastation is filling the air
Rising trough the gates of hell
Retaliation of the evil ones
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Necrophobic's "Awakening" describe a transformation from victim of God to servant of Satan, with the singer reveling in the fact that their soul is no longer resting but rather rising as a reincarnated entity in an unholy kingdom. The song paints this transformation as a liberation from the constraints of societal and religious norms, celebrating an embrace of darkness, damnation, and immortality. The lyric "where your corpse shall be our feast" is particularly grotesque and makes it clear that the singer has fully embraced their new identity as a disciple of evil.
The chorus of the song focuses on the consequences of this transformation, with spirits being set free and the dead awakening as darkness falls. As the lyrics progress, there is a sense of gathering and unity amongst the followers of Satan, with an unholy ritual imminent and a dance of death uniting them in their cause against the false God. The tone of the song is one of excitement, rebellion, and triumph in the face of one's enemies.
