The Rise Of Sodom And Gomorrah
Therion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The king of sodom drink again
Lady babylon's wine
(One) hungred and twenty days in the depth of the dead sea
And walk the path of peccatus
(And) the setian alkhemy
Rise of sodom and gomorrah
Reveal the gnosis
The princess justine
Sing a song of her sin
Of pleasure and pain
And the virtues in vain
To the ear that will hear
And the one without fear
To the old fallen ones and the forbidden thing they all have done
(The) sun enter the capricorn (and) the star of sin will shine
The king of sodom drink again
Lady babylon's wine
Rise of sodom and gomorrah
Reveal the gnosis of borora
Hear the king bera
Cry out in the land of cannan
And the daughters of lot
Cry for their father and their god.
("The cry of complaint of sodom and gomorrah
Yes, it's loud and their sins are heavy")
The lyrics of Therion's song 'The Rise of Sodom and Gomorrah' describes the story of the Biblical cities, Sodom and Gomorrah, which are infamous for their wickedness and immorality. The song opens with the line 'The sun enters Capricorn and the star of sin will shine' which refers to the astrological significance of the entrance of the sun into the zodiac sign of Capricorn. It's believed that the ancient civilizations considered this period as significant as the star of sin (Saturn) becomes visible. The next line 'The king of Sodom drinks again, Lady Babylon's wine' implies that the ruler of Sodom is indulging in immoral and debauched activities.
The lyrics then move on to narrate the story of Princess Justine, who sings of her sins, pleasure and pain, and the virtues in vain. She sings to the ear that will hear and the one without fear, reminding them of the old fallen ones and the forbidden things they all have done. The rise of Sodom and Gomorrah, reveals the gnosis of Borora, and the song ends with the cry of complaint of Sodom and Gomorrah, and how their sins are heavy. The song aims to provide a historical interpretation of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, and how their immoral practices led to their downfall.
