Gathered Under the Horns
Urgehal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The soldiers od Satan are armed to fight
All hordes are gathered under the horns
(Evil united to destroy all holy)
The 7 gates of hell are opened
The infernal war is at hand
And in mayhemic darkness the world is conquered
By hell...
Christian blood and broken wings as far as
The eye can see, no tomorrow... Eternal night
One thousand years chained to their lies
One thousand years entangled in shit
One thousand years fucked up by their rules
One thousand years is just too long
The sheep has always been a metaphore for the holy ones
There are no sheep they are wolfs locked in cases
The lyrics of Urgehal's song Gathered Under the Horns paint a vivid picture of the apocalypse as perceived by a Satanist. The demonic forces are rising on the night of Armageddon, and the soldiers of Satan stand ready for the final battle against everything holy. The hordes, united in their evil intent, are gathered under the horns. The seven gates of hell are opened, and the infernal war is at hand. The world is plunged into mayhemic darkness as the sun turns black and the moon turns red. Christian blood and broken wings are everywhere, and there is no tomorrow, only eternal night.
The lyrics express the belief that the holy ones have locked themselves in a case, and that they are not as innocent as they appear. The metaphor of sheep and wolves is used, suggesting that those who seem harmless are actually dangerous predators. The song implies that the end of the world is a desirable outcome for Satanists because it means the end of one thousand years of being chained and entangled in lies, rules, and shit.

Demonic forces rising at the night of Armageddon
The evil beings are emerging as the world approaches its end
The soldiers od Satan are armed to fight
The troops of Satan have prepared for a battle
All hordes are gathered under the horns
The collective evil has come together to destroy everything holy
(Evil united to destroy all holy)
The union of all the wicked to eliminate purity
The 7 gates of hell are opened
The gates of hell have been unlocked
The infernal war is at hand
The conflict between good and evil is about to occur
The sun turn black and the moon turn red
The darkness and chaos prevail as the sun and moon change colors
And in mayhemic darkness the world is conquered
The world is taken over by darkness and disorder
By hell...
The world is dominated by Satan and his demons
Christian blood and broken wings as far as
The massacre of the holy ones, seeing dead angels everywhere
The eye can see, no tomorrow... Eternal night
There is no future, only everlasting gloom
One thousand years chained to their lies
An eternity of bondage to the falsehoods of the holy
One thousand years entangled in shit
Forever trapped in chaotic torment
One thousand years fucked up by their rules
A millennium of being ruined by their regulations
One thousand years is just too long
Such a long time is unbearable, too much to endure
The sheep has always been a metaphore for the holy ones
The innocent are often referred to as sheep
There are no sheep they are wolfs locked in cases
The supposed pure ones are actually wicked, trapped in their lies
