Ondskapt Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen!
All this, made by man, exists for one simple reason;
Further harmony amongst humans, happiness, materialistic utopia

Only a few work a counter way,
To conquer, disharmonize and torture this world!
Our days are few, they must be used
Divine reasons show me our path

The pernicious light which has blessed me with its utter damnation,

Is the holy fundaments on which our guideline rests
Secrets reveal in Satan's code, so clear yet mysterious
We enter a phase of completeness in direction as His angels take definite position
Firmly rooted in the arcane foundation of pure malignancy,
They reach through this world and beyond
We remain through the self defeating consequence of incompleteness (life)
Driven by demonical worship
Throughout this world and beyond, I am obsessed by murderous hatred

And errands are yet to come
Trapped in evil ecstasy we are forever cursed
A devilish fertilization nightly executed
It has infected our flesh to bring earth His presence

Follow the light pernicious
Enter the path of murder
Illusions must die since they are mortal
Stare behind the light of Jahve

Honor the end of your natural mind
Your own will must be left behind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ondskapt's song II seem to be examining the idea of humanity's purpose and existence. The first few lines recount the commonly held belief that human progress and inventions are meant to bring about more happiness, harmony and material prosperity. However, the singer reveals that not everyone subscribes to this ideal, with only a few having an opposing view. These few are focused on spreading disharmony, conquering and torturing the world.

The singer then invokes the idea of divine reasoning and an illuminating light which has shown the way towards their path. This light is ironically referred to as pernicious, suggesting that the path chosen is not one of light but of darkness. The reference to Satan's code further cements the notion that what follows is not meant to be taken as a positive message. The singer goes on to describe how they have entered a phase of completeness in their direction, with demonic angels taking positions and rooting themselves in pure malignancy.

The singer admits to being obsessed with murderous hatred and being trapped in evil ecstasy, seemingly indicating that they have given themselves up to the darkness. This is further reinforced by the line "A devilish fertilization nightly executed, it has infected our flesh to bring earth His presence". The song ends with a call to follow the pernicious light and enter the path of murder, with the idea that the natural mind must be left behind.
