Necros Christos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My name is Baal-Sebul
I am King of Ekron
A Baal of the Highest
My Kingdom is Tehom
I strike down all morals
I'm the ruler of man
As I'm Baal of Ekron
My reign is at hand
Come, gimme worship
And build me a shrine
'Cause I'm Baal of Ekron
Your women be mine
And doom is my saviour
And darkness my friend
As I'm Baal of Ekron
Taking over Command

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Necros Christos's song "Baal of Ekron" describe the identity and power of Baal-Sebul, the King of Ekron. Baal-Sebul is portrayed as a deity of unparalleled power, a Baal (a type of ancient Near Eastern god) of the Highest. He rules over the kingdom of Tehom and strikes down all morals, making him the ruler of man. The singer, Baal-Sebul, demands worship and the building of a shrine in his honor. He also claims possession of women and says that doom is his savior and darkness his friend. The refrain, "Baal of Ekron," emphasizes his identity and clarifies his claim to rulership.


The song references ancient Near Eastern mythology, which saw gods and goddesses as powerful and capricious beings who could either aid or hinder humanity. Baal-Sebul's portrayal reflects this: he is a god who demands worship and subjugation, and allows for no opposition to his rule. The lyrics suggest that Baal-Sebul embodies darkness and destruction, rather than light and creation. Additionally, the song's title, "Baal of Ekron," references an ancient city in Israel that was purportedly the site of a shrine dedicated to Baal, suggesting that the song situates itself within a particular historical and mythological context.
