In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Mightiest Self!
Cast out of Thy Elysium
With blood of Nazarene
I write the story of man
Two thousand years
Is nothing though it has been enough
Come forth victorious
Muting the foul angelic choirs!
None of thy empty gods, shall ever stand above me
None of thy weak brothers, shallt ever share my blood
My awareness, catalyst, of godhate I have spawned
In sinister ecstasy eternally I decompose
Race of man!
The errors of a wise make The rules
Ye shall see
Rather than the perfection of the fool
The most divine!
I am many! Among so very few
Beyond redemption, beyond the weak
Thus I beheld the truth!
None of thy empty gods, shall ever stand above me
None of thy weak brothers, shalt ever share my blood
My awareness, catalyst, of godhate I have spawned
In sinister ecstasy eternally I'm decomposed
I am the pure flame that burns
I am Sirius' son
I am the infinite space
I am the most conquering one
Cast out of Thy Elysium
With blood of Nazarene
I write the story of man
Two thousand years
Is nothing though it has been enough
Come forth victorious
Muting the foul angelic choirs!
None of thy empty gods, shall ever stand above me
None of thy weak brothers, shallt ever share my blood
My awareness, catalyst, of godhate I have spawned
In sinister ecstasy eternally I decompose
Race of man!
The errors of a wise make The rules
Ye shall see
Rather than the perfection of the fool
The most divine!
I am many! Among so very few
Beyond redemption, beyond the weak
Thus I beheld the truth!
None of thy empty gods, shall ever stand above me
None of thy weak brothers, shalt ever share my blood
My awareness, catalyst, of godhate I have spawned
In sinister ecstasy eternally I'm decomposed
I am the pure flame that burns
I am Sirius' son
I am the infinite space
I am the most conquering one

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Satan, cast out of heaven. Man write's his history with the blood of those who die in the name of God.
2,000 years is nothing to you (Satan), but it is enough for you to be released from your den (as stated in Revelations). Come out of hell, and mute the angelic choirs.
No other god shall stand above me (Jesus), the weak will not enjoy heaven (those who don't know Christ) Knowing Christ acts as a catalyst, He thrives through the hatred of other gods (by his followers). I live in the sinister pleasure of my followers doings.
(The Devil or Nergal speaking) Race of Man, the rules are made by the errors of the "wise (those in power)" rather than by the perfection of the fool (those who blindly follow a system established by the wise)
No other god shall stand above me (Jesus), the weak will not enjoy heaven (those who don't know Christ) Knowing Christ acts as a catalyst, He thrives through the hatred of other gods (by his followers). I live in the sinister pleasure of my followers doings.
(Jesus) I am everything, I am the one who conquers all.
Based on my loose interpretation, I think he's referring to the way people conquer and destroy in the name of God, justifying their doings thusly. Nergal (or the devil, whichever you think) tells us to see that the rules are made by those who think they know best, rather than by the followers (such as the nation in a democracy).
I may be way off, but I tried.
Crowley said "I will give you a war-engine. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you. (...) Conquer! That is enough." and with "Conquer All" I try to extend the meaning ov these mighty words. these lyrics are about life offering me so many opportunities which are at hand. my passions and determination are unbreakable. unrestrained will has brought me to this path I walk. it's the whole world... it's the whole universe I wish to conquer. it's all or nothing. my music and words I speak are unlimited. I see no boundaries for true art. here and now. here and beyond.
there you go, homo's.
main riff sounds like Anthrax's Be All End All but a great, heavy song
Hey, if you like Behemoth you ain't a homo. Great music I haven't heard a song of theirs I don't like. Im not gonna try n explain cuz im so fucked up but...Death, man, keep supportin these guys. You rule
well after hearing this song on tv I immediatly liked this band, I think this song is about how the "bible" is junk and that we have been around for more than 2000 years.
What a great song. Pure, extreme undiluted metal, yet so melodic and catchy. Well done, Nergal.
Satan?
That's just what I got from this.
i think this song is describing his true will to conquer all and that he is a supreme power that will conquer, correct me if im wrong
I don't know what the fuck Nergal is trying to say but amazing song. Music video rocks too but what's up with Nergal feeding that angel that fruit punch lmao
"main riff sounds like Anthrax's Be All End All but a great, heavy song"
I was about to put the same thing. I didn't think anyone else would have noticed it though.
