In Utero: A Place of Hatred and Threat
Svart Crown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Repent

Infested with heresy
A desperate cruelty
An accomplice of the depths
In the heart of its bad
Drain
Pull this cancer out of his womb

Monozygotic twins
Born from the same cell
Two fetuses
A place of hatred and threat
Fueled by the red line of madness

Dominant and dominated
Possessed desecrate
Everything petrified
In the heart of its bad
Drain
Pull this cancer out of his womb

Skin studded of burns
Skin studded of scars
Crush butts on a gray flesh
Spit these nails
Over and over again
To purify his tummy

Vice who lived from intrauterine life
Who devours the last hope of life

It's on me
It's on me

Keep the dead devil in his belly

It's on me
It's on me

Infected
Poisoning the water
Infiltrated
The liquid of life

Infested / Rejected
Infiltrated / Impregnated

Infected
Poisoning the water
Infiltrated
The liquid of life





Deliver / Invoker
Revocate the bastard son

The singer implores the listener to revocate the bastard son and keep the dead devil in his belly, suggesting that the only way to fight against evil is to confront it head-on and not let it take hold.


Overall, the song is a chilling commentary on the darkness that lurks within us all, and a call to action to resist the forces of evil and cruelty that threaten to consume us.

I don't know what the deal with France has been lately. But for the past couple of years they've been pumping out some pretty good metal.

Other than the vocals, I really feel like this is very similar to Immolations music.
Anyone else?

I definitely get an Immolation vibe from the riffing and drums too!
