VI
Ondskapt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know something very old is present tonight
A moment out of this world, filled with something very ill

I smell death in this ugly place, far from the light of Christ,
Which has impaled my eyes for thirteen years

An abomination of Satan's summoned by sickness in these ghastly hours
At this gebite I am sworn to die
I will die to enter

My human shapes would be dead
If not... deeds were undone
And I am indeed blessed by damnation
I do not wish to live, but devotion stops me
My sacrifice continues

I smell death in this ugly place, far from the light of Christ,
Which has impaled my eyes for thirteen years

I am tired and I hate this place




But my beseeched lord: The greater is thy finger
I know the meaning with life is Death

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ondskapt's song, VI, speak to the presence of evil and the desire for sacrifice in the name of Satanism. The use of the number six in the song's title is likely a reference to the number's significance in Satanism and the prominence of the number in Christian belief as representative of the devil. The singer acknowledges the feeling of an old and evil presence around them, contributing to an atmosphere of illness and death.


The references to death and the absence of the light of Christ suggest a rejection of Christian belief and the embrace of an alternative, dark religion. The singer speaks of being "blessed by damnation," which further emphasizes their devotion to Satanism and their willingness to make sacrifices on his behalf. Though they may desire death at times, their dedication to their beliefs keeps them going. The song ultimately seems to suggest that death is the ultimate meaning of life for those who adhere to the Satanic faith.
