Mayhem – Freezing Moon

Everything here is so cold
Everything here is so dark
I remember it as from a dream
In the corner of this time

Diabolic shapes float by
Out from the dark
I remember it was here I died
By following the freezing moon

It's night again, night you beautiful
I please my hunger on living humans
Night of hunger, follow it's call
Follow the freezing moon

Darkness is growing, the eternity opens
The cemetery lights up again
As in ancient times
Fallen souls, die behind my steps
By following the freezing moon, yeah

    General CommentHow can anyone possibly claim that this album is anything other than true fucking black metal ?!

    General CommentHere you can hear clearly that he is trying to say that people are commiting suicide "...fallen souls die behind my steps
    By following the freezing moon" (People are doing the same as he did) and "Follow it's call
    Follow the freezing moon" That means: Commit suicide!

    General Commentmaniac just plain sucks, little whining sissy. i wish dead did the de mysteriis album.

    although i thought this song had a deeper meaning than the "walking corpse" one provided.

    General CommentIt's not about a fucking vampire or a corpse who died of the cold stupid people! It's about commiting suicide. "Follow the freezing moon" is a metaphor for commiting suicide. Thats why he is saying "I remember it was here I died
    By following the freezing moon
    " What he means is "I remember it was here i died by commiting suicide"

    Everyone knows that this song is about commiting suicide you dumb people!

    General CommentIts about a walking corpse who died of the cold, and now eats humans.

    General CommentYeah, the lyrics are well written considering what the song is about. I think the line: "Fallen souls die behind my steps, by following the freezing moon" is one of the best lines in metal.

    I probably like Maniacs version on Live in Lipzeig a little better than Attila's.

    General CommentDead does the vocals on Live in Leipzig, not Maniac.

    General CommentThats quite possible, though Mayhem hasn't often been one for deep, meaningful lyrics.

    Maniac's lyrics on the Deathcrush EP are OK, his newer lyrics aren't that great. Attilas lyrics, however, are just horrible. The bastard completely ruined the album. Dead is, in my opinion, one of the best BM vocalists.

    General CommentMy bad, I was confusing Live In Leipzig with Live in Marseille, and Maniac with Dead...Mayhem is a confusing band :\

    Dead was definetly the best writer of them all.

    Grand Decleration of War completely sucked, but I thought Chimera was ok.

    General CommentDead produced Mayhem's best vocals and lyrical concepts so far; unfortunately he wasn't as competent at the actual songwriting. The lyrics are mostly good, but they could have been so much better had they been put into words by a better writer.
