| Dimmu Borgir – Dødsferd Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
[Journey Of Death] In the darkest of darkness I intone In my halls silence steps forth Fallen angels are guarding my gates In the beauty of valley of death My soul has gone astray While darkness and sorrow ruled The fire of hate was lit In the black silence of the night My silence self steps forth In the darkness a corpse burns Another black soul has returned(home) In silence we observe the journey The journey of our sorrow-black brother And no tears fall When ashes are united with dust We shall all share his fate We shall all follow our friend When the bells of judgementday chimes We shall all return To rule great song, i wonder why it hasn't been added til now anyways the translation is from darklyrics... |

No need, I saw you translation over there, now those lyrics are... interesting (to say the least), good job btw. |

| Fuck. this is awsome song, thats all i have to say since fadetoflashes already did a good job explaining it : ) | |
| Satyricon – Fuel for Hatred Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I's actually good song, altough very different from their earlier stuff, i think lyrics are self-explanatory | |
| Satyricon – Mother North Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Misinformed person who doesn't know much about black metal origins can easily misunderstand this song but its actually very anti-christian. it is about hov christianity ruined their old paganistic belifes, the glory of norway and their gods are now all gone and people just don't seem to see it that's why satyr calls them blind, yes just like Pyrrhon said it's very nacionalistic song, awsome one btw | |
| Satyricon – K.I.N.G. Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Yeah it sure appears to be about armageddon, great song | |
| Dimmu Borgir – The Serpentine Offering Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Yeah it could be. But could also be related with paganism (old nordic belifes) And I actually like midian, i think it's one of their best later albums, i probably shouldn't bash thornography that much since i haven't listened it but i heard terrible reviews of it; so terrible that i didn't even dared to listen any of the songs from it (i want CoF to stay in good memory LOL) but i'm bit off topic here... |

| Amazing song.. and video for this song is by far their best video : ) | |
| Dimmu Borgir – Cataclysm Children Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Hmm LaVey definetly, this song clearly attacks catholic church, and does it from atheistic standpoint : ) It basically says that catholic church is a false and hypocritic leader with defect moral values and that we need to free ourselves. Oh yeah, great piano part near the end : ) |

fuck since we can't agree on a meaninng don't you think we could use a third opinion? So, to anyone who is reading this: if you think you have anything intelligent to say about this song don't hesitate to do so |

| Dimmu Borgir – Tormentor Of Christian Souls Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
and btw I totally agree with heavy metal i'll stop this kind of arguing from my side and it would be correct that you do it too : ) You picked a wrong target, instead of bashing those idiots you chose to bash another black metal fan (me) wrong choice man... P.S. The guys am bashing constantly... just read few of their posts and you'll realize they know very little about black metal (if anything at all), i expected that a song with such name would draw a great attention of those idiots, and i suspest that a song "Antikrist" would share the same fate... luckily that one is in norwegian |

To Antonkhammor: i didn't name anyone, if you found yourself in my post that's your problem not mine, And no my post wasn't aimed at you, can't you read!?! Read my post again!! i just quoted guy you quoted : ) I was just mocking guy who called us black metal fags yet he says "this is america" so that explains how much he knows about black metal (there are no good bm bands in usa... as a matter of fact i haven't heard of a single bm band from usa). So you just seem to like arguing much more than black metal since i think it's obvious my post wasn't aimed at you!! lol i'm repeating myself : ) |

saw the video, heard the album, great, great, it's nice to know thad dimmu borgir isn't becoming a shit band (unfortunately this cannot be said for cradle of filth) This video remids me somehow of satyricon's "mother north" (even though satyricon is a true black metal) |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Heavenly Perverse Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Yeah he sure is... he's one of the founders of dimmu borgir, along with shagrath and tjoldav so it's logical to assume him to to play a part in every dimmu borgir song | |
| Dimmu Borgir – Tormentor Of Christian Souls Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Fuck this is horrible... few dozen guys arguing about christianity (about which, btw, they don't know a thing) and a musical genre (black metal that is) they never heard of... I mean "...aimed at... but this is america... so u can do whatever..." explains everything Come on guys just admit it, you don't care about dimmu borgir, in fact i'm pretty sure you never heard of it, you were just drawn here by the provocative name of this song right? So please stop writing annoyng things here that have nothing to do with song itself. Go and shoot yourself in the face... then do it again if you still feel like writing more nonsenses. |

| Dimmu Borgir – A Succubus In Rapture Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
No you're not wrong. And to all others over here: You are ignorant fools. Do you really think a black metal band would write a song about their crush in some girl!?! They could... but then they wouldn't be black metal anymore, now would they? So, google a "sucubus" and get some facts before you start commenting the subject... othervise you end up writing nonsense comments like those. P.S. to: raistlinmajere i can't belive you actually wrote that, yes like most of my friends i also listen to black metal, and we don't have any fear of girls or something like this. I'll ask you something; are you a girl? if you are, that explains a lot.. if you aren't then how a big dumbasss you have to be to write something like that. Hope i didn't offend anybody here (too)much ; ) |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Heavenly Perverse Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I's actually good that you and me have different standpoints about this song... what a boring world it would be if we all had same standpoints about things... I see it differently than you and that's OK, hmmm maybe we could ask Silenoz (i belive he wrote it) what this song actually means LOL! |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
And considering "Devil worshipper" thingie.. it's actually used as etiquette to tag certain people most notably people who practice black magic. All these people have one thing in common - they all actually belive in heaven and hell, god and satan... so in terms in religion they could be seen as christians who chose "dark side" (go hide somewhere yoda; LOL) Yes, most of common people are affraid of them because of their image, and rumors that are spread about them. Because they aren't an actual organisation (only some cults and individual people) there are no defined standards of what "devil worshippers" actually are and as such people like to tag anything that has something to do with black arts as "devil worshippers". Hope this clarifies things : ) |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Yes this song uses LeVeyan ideology but the lines: "Should we not hunt the bastards down with our might Reinforce and claim the throne that is rightfully ours" are used to express that nordic rebellion against christianity. The way they probably see it is that christians took their "throne" away and ruined their customes and mithology. I don't belive it has anything to do with actual killing of christians. This album (DCA) is influenced heavily by LaVey ideology but their earlier stuff (especially ETD) are more like shocking devil worshipping |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Tormentor Of Christian Souls Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| to heavy metal: you didn't get it he didn't killed him directly, he sent him bullets for shotgun, that dead later used to commit suicide (thus you can say that killed him in not direct way, he knew dead and his obsession with death so he knew what outcome will be) , damn i hate to repeat himself ; ) | |
| Anti-Flag – Fuck The Pope Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
lol, i just stumbled upon those lyrics by accident, i dont listen to this band at all but i see that here are some misconceptions: christians DON'T hate homosexuals they just think it's wrong and sick, They are FORBIDDEN to do anything against them (as well as against other people too), a true christian does not hate anybody : ) I never belived thet there are so many ppl that have misconceptions about christians. Now you might say that our pode does something wrong every now and again, bot remember he is only a human, not better nor worse from others. So to conclude christians don't belive in hatred they think it's wrong (as well as homosexualism) I'm a christian so i know what i'm saying. |

Well you said nothing that i didn't know before, i read wikipedia regullary, you know : ) I want to have some background before i start to shit all over somebody or something, so you mostly confirmed all the information i read up there : ) well except for one thing - Varg killed Dead?? From what i know he killed euronimous, and he only sent bullets to dead which he then used to commit suicide (well he killed him but in inderect way!! lol), and for the second part, yeah i know it is pointless but you misunderstood me, i never tried to enforce my belifes to anybody, mainly because they are my own; i'm not a damn preacher lol, from what you say i conclude that you aren't christian (which, btw, is ok by me) so you don't *really* know how much pain in the ass they can be... i take waves of shit thrown constantly at me from them (because of my belifes) so i don't have time to wage wars with ateists too, not that would... i just don't care : ) I'm from Croatia and unlike other slavic nations we were first to accept christianity (in the 7th century) because romans were our neighbours... so christianity ruined our gods and mithology too, up to the point where we can't say much about our gods at all (there are even arguings about the name of our pagan supreme god!), memories of them are long lost and everything that is left are some traces of our former miths, so to conclude you are in far better position, to the point where even i know most of your gods and even some of the miths : ) Christianity is all that we (Croatians) know, it is placed wery DEEP into our nation, and i simply can't imagine being anything other but christian (note that devil worshiping is only inverse christianity, and no I don't actually worship devil, i just do some black magic). Now you know why im interested in actual devil worshipping and black magic more than in just a rebellious act against christianity : ) That's why i still favor cradle of filth over true black metal (they are just more evil, have you ever read their lyrics?), because i'm informed enough to know that except few bands most others are NOT actual satanists... (and yes cradle sucks wery badly these days, they totaly sold themselves now and have reached the bottom, their new album is THE worst piece of crap world has ever seen, im a huge fan of them but until they come to their senses...) Ok i'll stop now i think you all are becoming sick of me : ) |

|
Yeah satansim definetly, LaVeyan one... Great into, amazing riffs... |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Tormentor Of Christian Souls Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Ok i didn't mean to offend you in any way, i have to admit that i don't know wery much about satanism in norway. Yes those lyrics are sick but thats why i liked them in the first place because you have to be very brave or very stupid to write something like this. Those lyrics are VERY clear and that's why they aren't shipped with album. Now to get back to the point. From what i already know norwegian satanism is not satanism at all it is just a movement against christianity to get your old gods and belifes back. Right? Unfortunatley i haven't listened to any of gorgoroth material yet so i cannot judge, but i know that euronimous from mayhem was actual devil worshiper and i think that other band members also were. |

You guys just don't seem to get it do you, there are some very strong christian motives in this song, satan is described in this song just like christians would have imagined him, cold bastard who enjoys inflicting pain and suffering.This song DOES NOT bash christianity in any way it just shows the persona of satan in a bit extreme way. Those lyrics are great they and not dumb at all; i you were christians you would know how accurate those lyrics are.I don't know why the hell you all heve problems with those lyrics; i mean look at the title of the song what did you expect, as if title wasn't enough to inform you: "Warning brutal song ahead"?? This song has nothing in common with true black metal. And WTF do you think that being norwegian makes you qualified for shitting on dimmu? They are not true black metal anyways and i have no problem with that, i still think they are great. You might now say that i don't understand true black metal so please consider this: Immortal, Satyricon, Darkthrone and Bathory are among my favorite bands, i listen to others too but not as much. Given all this i never compare dimmu to any of the other bands because i'm not an ignorant fool and i know the difference. Dimmu borgir is unique and am pleased with their sound, there are just too many black metal bands and too few bands like dimmu borgir. P.S. i am not norwegian nor i have something against norwegians, nor against jews, black people.... P.P.S I also don't consider myself satanist, i am christian but with a "broader" perpective, being christian doesn't necessarily mean that i want to obey god, it means only that i actually belive in all that stuff; |

| Dimmu Borgir – The Night Masquerade Lyrics | 19 years ago |

It's quite obvious this is vampiric song, but here satan himself gives immortality to his followers (instead of count dracula or some other fucker) who eagerly embrace it. Anyways great melody. |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Grotesquery Conceiled (Within Measureless Magic) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Quite good song. It's about some guy who is into black magic and probably sold his soul to devil, if I understand correctly he is waiting to be hanged by inquisition hence the lines: "In the shadows of my gallow I'd rather absent the hallow" but he doesn't mind and looks forward to this for he's comming to his master. I hope this makes sense to someone since english is not my mother tongue. |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Heavenly Perverse Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
You could be right since english isn't my mother tongue. I think this whole song is aimed at catholic church. The way i see third verse is about how catholic church invented god and they constantly manipulate heaven and hell to keep us afraid and make us go to church. And then there is a line which says: "Seeds have been planted in the name of the son" this one probably refers to jesus but then again "seeds of what"? maybe fear of hell? seeds of religion? i really need help with that one. I hope someone finds my uncoherent thoughts usefull. This song rises more questions the more i look at it : ) |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Tormentor Of Christian Souls Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I'm glad that you did some research since most people don't understand satanism fully. While dimmu borgir was in EDT era their lyrics (like this one) were about actual devil worshipping, somwhere around PEM they turned to LaVeyan satanism which is MUCH different (for those who are interested wikipedia has excelent materials about LaVey and church of satan, just search for satanism). While i don't consider myself satanist i find 9 satanic sins and 11 satanic rules quite intriguing. I have yet to obtain satanic bible. I think it will be interesting and refreshing read. | |
| Dimmu Borgir – Tormentor Of Christian Souls Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
to heavy metal: it wasn't really supposed to be slap in the face I just got annoyed by posts when someone says something like: "I love dimmu borgir they are great satanic band" and some fucker then follows it up with something like: "I'm i christian i fell sorry for you, and feel sad that this band has to promote itself in such way and that you will burn in hell" I just can't stand the fact that dumb people write dumb black metal bashing comments at the site where normal people disscus meanings of songs. I mean you have some religion forums for arguing about whose religion is superior. And i fully agree with poopytheclown there should really be some i.q. checks before people enter such sites. |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Heavenly Perverse Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I can't belive im the first one to comment this song. This is one of my favorite DCA songs i really love guitars in this one and keyboard are amazing especially during the 6th and 7th verse. Anyways this songs seems to be about hipocrisy of catholic church which is seen most in the 3rd and 4th verse |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Allegiance Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I agree with you all this is very militaristic song First two werses are about how he joins the ranks. Second two describe his war expiriences. Fifth verse is interesting: somebody (maybe himself or even satan) is questioning his actions and his enjoyment in killing. 5. and 6. verse are about how he dies and (probably) goes to hell. Last one is probably about general military guidelines (valor, pride courage...) and how its all that matters even though he'll probably go to hell. I like this song and REALLY like the melody which plays during the last verse. |

Shit I should have written "Satan's hatred towards christianity" (instead of mankind) but since thiss was my first post... Also please ignore my bad english : ) |
|
| Dimmu Borgir – Tormentor Of Christian Souls Lyrics | 19 years ago |

I went through all five pages and i have one question: ARE YOU GUYS IDIOTS!? I mean you come to criticize BLACK METAL band for bashing religion and writing such lyrics, and what's more you're doing it on the site which purpose is to clarify meanings of certain lyrics. And to all alleged dimmu borgir fans who claim to be christian i say: "SHUT THE FUCK UP" christianity and black metal are two opposite things, they don't mix together in such way. I mean black metal was always extreme and over the top starting from bathory and mayhem to what's left of the scene today. It is your ignorance which brought you in situation when you say something like: "I like black metal songs if they are not violent and/or anti-christian.".Learn some facts about genre itself before you go into it. Today's black metal scene is a shadow of its former self and bands have softened their music but they are still black metal bands nonthelsess and you are all shocked when songs like this one pop out (i will tell you: they were popping out more in the past). The point is that this song more or less sums up the black metal and if you find yourselves so shocked and offended by it then you don't belong here. My religion here is not important and I actually like these lyrics as i find the way satan's hatred towards humanity being expressed in this song quite fascinating. PS I know that now those "christians" (i wonder if they even go to church regulary) will strike down at me worrying about my soul and such. Dear reader if this applyes to you then I say:"DON'T" Don't come after me I will ignore you and please stop worrying about my soul find and something more important to worry about. And to all true Dimmu borgir fans who didn't try to defend the band i say: Shame on you ; ) |
