Before The Dawn
Necrophobic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At dawn the prophecies were told
Demonic spells surrounded the moon
Infernal flames enlightened the altar
Where the lord awaited the human sacrifice

Before the dawn of time
The devil was cursed from heaven
Condemned to the abyss of hell
Satan seeks for the merciless revenge

In the shadows of the damned
The priest speaks the incantation
A sacrifice to the lord
Shall be made of human blood and flesh

Awaiting at the altar of death
The priest prepares for the dying
Satan consumes the victim
As the black mass comes to the end

[Priest]
Lord of darkness, hear the call
Come forth and bring us evil
Arise from hell before the dawn
And break the holy curse

[Priest]
I sacrifice you bastard child
The time has come to take your life




Born of evil in the name of Christ
You shall die!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Necrophobic's song "Before The Dawn" depict a dark and eerie scene depicting the rituals of Satanism. The opening lines of the song conveys the message that the prophecies have been made at dawn and spells have been cast to surround the moon. The reference to infernal flames enlightening the altar where the Lord is expecting a human sacrifice is indicative of the Satanic practices that often involve bloodshed and crimes against humanity.


The song also talks about the devil himself, who was cursed from heaven even before the dawn of time. His demonic character is highlighted with the reference to him being condemned to the abyss of hell and seeking merciless revenge. The second verse presents the image of a priest in the shadows of the damned carrying out the rituals of sacrifice, as he incants prayers to the Lord.


The priest talks of the call of the Lord of darkness to bring forth evil, which is supernatural and quite frightening. The priest finally completes his grim mission of human sacrifices as he sacrifices a newborn child in the name of Christ, ending with the statement that the child deserves to die as it was born of evil.
