Djävulens Ande
Ondskapt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nattetid, da kristet blod har sin vila
En ande fran den gamla världen
Nattens svarta valnad
En skugga fran urtiden
Djävulens hand pa jorden
En uraldrig styggelse
En gang uppstigen fran underjorden
Kallar dig inatt
[English translation:]
An evil darkness flows into the forests
Nighttime, when Christian blood has its rest
A spirit from the old world
The nights black phantom
A shadow from ancient time
The Devil's hand on the earth
The soul's bane.
An ancient abomination
Once risen from the underworld
Calling you tonight
The lyrics of Ondskapt's song "Djävulens Ande" delve into the concept of evil and darkness that surrounds us during the night. The song's message implies a spirit that arises from the old world and possesses certain parts of nature as well as people. The singer warns of the dangers of succumbing to this spirit as it is the devil's hand on earth, and it could become the bane of our soul.
The song also talks about the night's black phantom, which presents itself as shadowy and ancient, originating from the underworld. The imagery of the forest and the darkness provides a sense of fear and instability, further emphasizing the ominous intentions of the song. The song could be interpreted as an invitation to resist the devil's temptation and avoid being ensnared by its clutches.
