Procession of Black Doom
Unholy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of Endless black memories
Bloodlust starts
You notice the smell of death
Time may end, serenade will start
Procession of Black Doom
Dark shadows swallow you
Review to reality
Fog has descended
You feel the power of
Allies of eagle
You will loose your mind
Second attention
Is too much for you
Without the Nagual
Death will Pay
A visit to you
The lyrics of Unholy's song Procession of Black Doom paint a picture of an ominous and foreboding atmosphere. The singer arrives at a valley of endless black memories, which appears to set the tone for the entire song. The opening lines suggest that the lyrics are a journey into the dark and evil side of life. The dark imagery associated with the act of turning towards bloodlust is further enhanced when the singer smells the scent of death. The time may end, a serenade will start, is also highly evocative language that hints towards a final judgement.
As the song continues, the Procession of Black Doom makes its way through this desolate and unforgiving landscape. The imagery of dark shadows swallowing the singer suggest that they have lost their bearings and are engulfed by the darkness of the procession. Reality is reviewed and exclamation breaks, suggesting that something has broken through into the world of the living. The fog has descended, which only adds to the air of mystery and darkness that pervades throughout the song.
During the song, the singer feels the power of the allies of the eagle. It is unclear whether these allies are something that can help the singer, or if they are simply an extension of the darkness that is consuming them. The reference to losing one's mind and the second attention being too much for the singer adds to the sense that they are slipping further into the grasp of death. Ultimately, the song concludes with a warning that without the nagual, death will pay a visit to the singer, suggesting that there may be an opportunity to stave off the inevitable.

Normally you’d say a band has been doing something since a certain date, not an album. “This album has been playing sexual occult metal since 2019”.
