Tormentor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Six men sat together
Around hexagonal table
They connected their hands
Whispering incantation
Six minutes later
The magic circle
Became grower
They connected their hands
Whispering incantation
Their eyes closed down
And fall into a nightmare
They started to tremble
They started connected
With the aliens of Darkness
They became possessed
Trance
Feeling - grew into horrible dream
Soon they massacred each other
The lyrics of Tormentor's "Trance" describe a haunting, ritualistic scene where six men gather around a hexagonal table, connect their hands, and whisper incantations. Within six minutes, a magic circle grows around them and they fall into a trance-like state. As they connect with the aliens of darkness, they become possessed, tremble, and start to massacre each other.
This song speaks to the power of ritual and the frightening consequences of delving into dark magic. The imagery of the hexagonal table and the magic circle evoke feelings of otherworldliness, while the whispered incantations create an air of secrecy and intent. The possession and subsequent violence suggest that dabbling in the unknown and uncontrollable can have dire consequences.
Overall, "Trance" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of attempting to harness power beyond our understanding, and is a powerful reminder of the importance of respecting the lines between the physical and the spiritual.
