Watain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
come forth from the North; Agios Daimon!
With the hunger of oceans,
come forth from the West; Agios Daimon!
As fire and flame,
come forth from the South; Agios Daimon!
As thunder and storm,
come forth from the East; Agios Daimon!
In the darkness,
in the nothingness of absent light,
where no life force is permitted to exist.
From far beyond the borders,
where god not dares,
the Serpent gloats in hunger.
No star will shine tonight.
No star, no matter how bright.
Across the firmament goes its flight.
A great darkness devouring the light.
God of Death. Manifest.
God of Doom. Move and appear!
Spread thine countless tentacles
across the universe.
Let them spasm throughout
the labyrinth of trembling stars.
Strangle their flickering flames,
eat them whole.
Wander ancient Dragon,
across the cursed heavens.
Yes, behold now as it opens
to swallow the world
and to melt the very essence of creation.
The burning mouth of Samaël,
through which all shall be reborn.
Wide agape now in this final hour.
And from its reeking darkness
a new kingdom shall ascend,
erected on the pillars
of the ever-burning underworld.
Can't you see the twisted branches
of the tree of Death?
Rising now in putrid doom
at the center of the world!
Let us welcome the Bringer of the End
with open arms.
Let us adorn the gates to nothingness
with blood.
Let us lay its enemies
like palmleaves upon the path
on which the Lord is coming in glory.
The upheaval of the ages,
that naught shall shun.
Time and space devoured as one.
From your abode in the dark,
come forth; Thou who eats the stars!
God of Death. Manifest.
God of Doom. Move and appear!
God of Death. Manifest.
Strike once more.
Stellarvore.
The lyrics of Watain's song Stellarvore are rife with occultic and esoteric references. The song speaks of the arrival of the "God of Death" and "God of Doom," who are called forth from the four corners of the earth with the strength of the mountains, hunger of oceans, fire and flame, thunder and storm. This summoning is said to take place in the darkness, where no life force is permitted to exist, far beyond the borders where even God does not dare. The Serpent, who gloats in hunger, is said to traverse this realm.
The song goes on to describe the devouring darkness that envelops the world, extinguishing even the brightest stars across the firmament. The Bringer of the End, also known as Samaël, is called upon to spasm his countless tentacles throughout the universe and strangle the flickering flames of the trembling stars. Watain uses this imagery to present a dark and gloomy vision of a new kingdom ascending from the reeking darkness of the underworld.

Lyrically Watain is the best BM band out there. Every song on every album is insanely well wrote.
@johndarkwraith9890
U might already know rorring christ. If not i highly recommend to listen to their first albums. As a matter of lyrics triarchy of the lost lovers is pretty good. Ave\m/

@@johndarkwraith9890 Indeed, the Greek Titans are beyond EXCELLENT. But these two bands write about completely different themes. Rotting Christ writes about Mythos from all around the world (with a nearly perfect style), while Watain writes exclusively about the Current 218 (Temple of the Black Light / Anti-Cosmic Satanism). In any case, both are MAGNIFICENT bands... ;)
