Dominion Of Death
Sathanas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rise to your revenge!
Godless beings
Wickedness prevails!
Destroyed by the hand of the christian god
His eve's are filled with hate
Watching orgies in the blood!
Rivers flow with souls on fire!
Condemn this land that breeds desire
Satanic bliss, evil reign...
City of sodom, rise again!
Dominion of death!
The lyrics to Sathanas's song 'Dominion of Death' depicts a world that has succumbed to evil and wickedness. The opening line, "City of the dead, rise to your revenge", suggests that the dead have risen from their graves seeking vengeance against the living. The lyrics are a commentary on a world where godless beings have taken over and evil has triumphed over good. The second line, "Godless beings, wickedness prevails", reinforces the idea of a world without divine intervention where depravity has become the norm.
The song then goes on to describe a world that has been destroyed by the hand of the Christian god. The line, "Destroyed by the hand of the Christian god, his eve's are filled with hate, watching orgies in the blood", suggests that the Christian god has become a destructive force, creating chaos and reveling in the destruction he has caused. The final lines of the song, "Rivers flow with souls on fire, condemn this land that breeds desire, satanic bliss, evil reign, city of Sodom rise again!", presents an apocalyptic vision of a world where the forces of evil and wickedness have gained dominion over all aspects of life.
