Equinox
Sodom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am that I am the flame
Hidden in a sacred ark
I am the unspoken name
And unbegotten spark
I am that ever goeth
Being myself the way

Supreme for creating words
None but I have ever heard
Emplorer of aeon
Plectren of primal paen

In the sea my father lies
Wept my waters lost forever
Where the waste of moe replieth
Naught nowhere and never
I will shine as he shone
Must go how he has gone

EQUINOX

Fotrh from you and darksome cell
From deep abyss of hell
Coming to view the earth again
See if you can ease distempered brain
Fear and care doth pierce the soul
Hark, how angry furies howl

EQUINOX

For the father and his son
Holy spirits are norm
Male femate quintessential one
Man being veiled in woman form
Glory and worship in the highest
Thou dove mankind that defiest

These my witness and woman
Shall dare the dark agian
Find no sacred ark to swim in
Nemorseless realm of rain

My body wear of empty clasp
Strong as a lion, sharp as an asp
Coat of the flock, I am gold and god
Flesh to thy bone, flow to thy rod
With hoofs of steel I race on the rocks
Through solstice stubborn to

Overall Meaning

The song Equinox by Sodom is a representation of various mythological, mystical and religious concepts. It begins with the singer declaring himself to be the flame that is hidden in a sacred ark, the unspoken name and the unbegotten spark. He is the very path that leads towards the ultimate truth. He claims to be the creator of words that are incomprehensible to anyone else but himself. He is the explorer of the aeon and the plectren (a type of musical instrument) of primal paen (a type of hymn). He further asserts his divine origin by stating that his father lies in the sea, and he will shine as bright as his father has shone.


The chorus of the song is a call to the goddess Equinox, who represents the changing seasons and the cycle of life and death. The singer asks her to come out of her darksome cell and view the earth again, hoping that she could ease the pain and suffering of humanity, which is filled with fear and anxiety. The furies, who symbolize uncontrollable anger and wrath, are howling in the background, adding to the tension and unease of the situation. The second stanza brings in the concepts of the holy trinity, the quintessential one and the male and female energy. The singer further emphasizes that all humans, men and women alike, are worthy of glory and worship in the highest realm. However, they will have to face the dark again and find no sacred ark to swim in the relentless realm of rain.
