Demon's Wind
Vader Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burnt hill abandoned by life,
Sealed with thousands curses,
Haunted by the shadows,
Unholy place where the dead materialize,
In their phantom form,
To penetrate the minds of the living ones.
So I call to thee,
Reading words of the unholy conjuration,
I have to know,
I have to see,
Let the blaze be free!
Fifty names,
Of the watchin' at the gates,
All the human fear,
In its physical appearance,
Open the gates,
For the chariots in a blaze,
Call the wind from the burning deeps of space.
Look at the blood,
Coming into sight,
The day's gonna die, and will never be born again!
Shapeless flashes in silvery glow,
Smell the breath,
From the open throats of graves,
Darkness grows,
Clammy frog descends,
Demons wind, the stars answer your desire,
Join the undead,
That's the place you'll never leave,
You wanna die but death cannot do us apart
Eternal call lurking in a mind,
Awaiting the time to wake the madness up.




For everyone forgotten from the ace of men,
Let my words be warning.

Overall Meaning

The song Demon's Wind by Vader presents the image of a cursed and haunted location - a burnt hill that has become a place of terror and darkness. The singer is attempting to conjure up something unholy and otherworldly from this location, reading the words of an "unholy conjuration". He wants to see what lies beyond the veil of the living and dead, to look into the darkness that grows around the hill. The lyrics mention "fifty names" of "watching at the gates", suggesting some kind of demonic guardianship over whatever lies within the hill.


The song's lyrics depict a descent into darkness, as the singer implores the demons and the wind from the "burning deeps of space" to come forth. The imagery is vivid and terrifying, with references to blood and the breath from open throats of graves. The song suggests that whoever joins the undead within the cursed hill will never leave, for death cannot separate them from the eternal darkness. The final line is a warning to all those who would forget the existence of this cursed place, that it still exists and is waiting to awaken the "madness" that lurks in every mind.
