Tormentor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Couldron of hell to you
Because in represent of my master
I must prevent everything
I serve te satan by bloody
Sacrifices and i destroy
The fucking goodness of christian faith
I'm Mephisto the destroing machine
I'm Mephisto the alive sadist
I'm Mephisto the terror's god
I'm Mephisto i tear angel's flesh
I serve te satan by bloody
Sacrifices and i destroy
The fucking goodness of christian faith
Because i am the evil
I no time will change this world
The crosses are going to turning
And the fucking destruction will reign the world
I'll descreanting everything
I'm Mephisto the destroing machine
I'm Mephisto the alive sadist
I'm Mephisto the terror's god
I'm Mephisto i tear angel's flesh
The lyrics to Tormentor's song Mephisto are a reflection of the dark abyss of evil that exists within the human mind. The singer, representing the evil forces, has come out of the bloody and deep cauldron of hell to prevent everything that is representative of goodness and light. He serves Satan by making bloody sacrifices and destroying the goodness of Christian faith. He is Mephisto, the destroying machine, alive sadist, terror's god, and angel's flesh-tearing entity. The singer delights in the destruction of the world, and no amount of time or force will ever change this.
The lyrics of Mephisto are a perfect example of the black metal genre, with its themes of darkness, death, and destruction. The song pays homage to the Satanic ideology, which has long been associated with metal music. It is also a reflection of the nihilistic worldview, which suggests that life is doomed to end in destruction, and there is no inherent value or meaning to human existence. Interestingly, the song's lyrics are written in broken English, which adds to the dark and unsettling atmosphere of the song.
