Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dunkelheit kam uber unser Land und das Licht verfiel der Nacht Daemonen
zogen
durch dasnun dunkle Land Der Mond ward der Erde neue Sonne Und die
Umlaufbahn
der Erde drehte sich um Von meinem Thron aus befahl ich die Haengung Gottes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pazuzu's song "Der Mond Ward der Erde Neue Sonne" speak of the descent of darkness over the land and the subsequent disappearance of light. Demons roam freely in a now dark world as the moon takes on the role of the earth's new sun. The earth's orbit shifts, and from his throne, the singer commands the hanging of God. When Pazuzu reveals the only truth, those who opposed him cower beneath him, and the creation of Christ is reduced to nothing but a pitiful pile of ash.


The first verse of the song speaks of the darkness that descends upon the land. The lack of light signifies the triumph of evil over good. The imagery of demons roaming around in a now-dark world creates a sense of impending doom. Then, the moon takes on the role of the earth's new sun, indicating that natural order has been disrupted. The second verse speaks of the drastic steps taken by the singer to establish himself as the ruler of all. He orders the hanging of God, a clear indication of his disdain for traditional religious beliefs. When Pazuzu reveals the only truth, it cements his position as a powerful and feared individual.


One interesting fact about the song is that Pazuzu is actually the name of a Mesopotamian demon that represents the Southwest wind, believed to bring famine and plagues. The band Pazuzu drew their inspiration from ancient Mesopotamian mythology when choosing their name.
