Invoked from Carrion Slumber
Necros Christos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zephanya
The witch has come
Mantic foreseer
Grants her summon
Necromancya
Falls upon

The ghost does hover close nearby the temple stones
A magic wand does serve the rite
Blessing all the rotten bones

The presence's called
But bystanders fail to see
The body's raising upright in front of thee
Paleful eyes do point to oblivion
The gates of doom had outcast its mortal one
Scrolls unfold, sigils break
Words invert its meaning dread
Singing her unholy spells
To summon up the ancient dead
All foul flesh has fallen down
Exhume the corpse while bones do crumble
Blaspheme the grave, exalt death's crown
As invoked from carrion slumber

All flesh has fallen down
Exhume the corpse
Bones do crumble
Preserving Sheol's crown




For those invoked
Out of their slumber

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Necros Christos's song "Invoked from Carrion Slumber" depicts the summoning of a witch, Zephanya, who is seeking to invoke necromancy upon the dead. In the first verse, Zephanya is referred to as a "mantic foreseer" who has been granted her summon, which alludes to her magical abilities to communicate with the dead. The second verse describes a ghost hovering close by the temple stones and a magic wand being used to serve the rite and bless the "rotten bones," indicating that a ritual is taking place to raise the dead from their slumber.


The third verse is where the necromancy is fully realized. The presence is called and the corpse is raised upright in front of those in attendance, with paleful eyes pointing to oblivion. The gates of doom have outcast its mortal one, indicating that death has released the soul from its mortal coil, and the necromantic spell is able to bring it back from beyond the grave. The witch utters unholy spells to summon up the ancient dead, with scrolls unfolding, sigils breaking, and words inverting their meaning with dread. Blasphemy is invoked and death's crown is exalted. In the final verse, all flesh has fallen down and the corpse is exhumed while bones crumble, invoking the spirits of Sheol and bringing them forth from their slumber.
