Prosanctus Inferi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gracious sacred violence
Puritanical murder infests putrid sacred wound
Ethereal faculties seething gregarious unholies
Black firmament pouring out the red plasma of angelica holy
Leather slicing flesh of the balking sinner
Apostolic diocese murmur confounding blasphemic animation
Principle black utopia frothing with heretical per ideal
Ethereal faculties seething gregarious unholies
"Priory Darkness of Choral Flesh" by Prosanctus Inferi delves into the themes of heresy, violence, and corruption. The lyrics paint a dark and vivid picture of a scene where unethical machinations have taken over and sacred values have been distorted. The use of words like "putrid," "slicing," and "seething" evoke a sense of disgust, gore and unease.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of holy blood and the corruption of the church. The "red plasma of angelica holy" pouring out of the black firmament seems to symbolize the twisted representation of blood sacrifice in the name of religion. The "white drape of christendom" that "drips in the moist spiritual follicle" is a stark contrast to the corruption and heresy that are present in the scene. It could be a representation of the ideal version of the Church, which has been perverted and defiled.
The overall tone of the lyrics is bleak and macabre, with a sense of foreboding and a lack of hope. It's a warning against the dangers of fanaticism and fundamentalism, and a reminder that even the most sacred values can be twisted and perverted. It's a commentary on the dark side of religion and the atrocities that can be committed in its name.
