Vulgus Necare
Zarathustra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the name of god
Sacrifice what you love,
Worship what you'll destroy
Previlege of evil, kill, kill, kill
Feel the power, feel the might
Smell the death, smell the blood
Imagine fires, imagine sulphur
See the throne, see the tormented souls,
Sacrificial rites - return...

Vulgus Necare
Vulgus Necare
Vulgus Necare

Apocalypse... shall... redeem...
Destructive Force... you can't defy
Invert ...the cross
Invoke... own strength,
Sacrifice what you love,




Worship what you'll destroy
Previlege of evil, kill

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zarathustra's song Vulgus Necare describe the theme of using religion as a means to instill fear, power and control over people. The opening line, "In the name of god, sacrifice what you love" suggests blind adherence to religious teachings, even if it means sacrificing one's own desires or beliefs. The subsequent line, "Worship what you'll destroy" implies that the very thing being worshipped will ultimately be destroyed or corrupted. The idea of the "privilege of evil" being celebrated and exalted is also evident in the repetition of "kill, kill, kill".


The second verse suggests that the ultimate outcome of this religion-based power and control will be an apocalypse or a destructive force that cannot be defied. The inversion of the cross and the invocation of one's own strength suggest a rejection of traditional religious beliefs and a call to embrace one's own power instead. The conclusion of the song reiterates the message of the first verse - sacrifice what you love, worship what you'll destroy - with the repeated chant of "Vulgus Necare", which translates to "kill the masses".


Overall, the lyrics portray a dark and sinister theme of using religion for personal gain and power over others, with a call to embrace destruction and sacrifice for the sake of that power.
