Vinum Sabbathi Lyrics
Extracted essence of the stone
Narcotic of the faceless ones
I awake on planet black
freezing moon, no turning back
Forbidden Sorcery
Vinum Sabbathi
Now I'm a slave to the black drug
Forced to serve this black god
I thought myself a master of the arts
This dimension of misery is my penance
Narcotic of the faceless ones
I awake on planet black
freezing moon, no turning back
Vinum Sabbathi
Forced to serve this black god
I thought myself a master of the arts
This dimension of misery is my penance

definitely sounds like heroin, considering most of the other suggestions (weed, LSD) are non-addictive, and the line "now I'm a slave to this black drug" is clearly talking about dependency.

thanks, as it clearly states narcotic and I guess.. some of ya’ll gotta understand this is a.. really dark song, ya know?

Lovely intro
I understand this is to be about a bad trip.
"Vinum Sabbathi" translates to "Sabbath Wine" which is, in my opinion, a slang name Jus Oborn has given to Marijuana.... and the song is a dramatic, scary account of being under the influence of weed.
As soon as i first read lyrics to this song, I instantly thought of the drug DMT. his explination (talking of it's extraction, and the experience itself) seems to perfectly fit description of a DMT trip (a bad one of course).
This song is bad ass. I don't know what it's about, but I think it's about selling your soul to the occult or satan. I think it's about following the left-hand path and becoming a follower of darkness. I love the part when the overdrive is turned on and it gets extremely heavy and a bit distorted. HELL YES!
One of the Fatest sounds I've ever heard.
This rocks so much, it's incredible. I think too, it's about drugs.
first verse kinda reminds me of Dagon by H.P Lovecraft where the protagonist awakes on a planets covered in a black ooze in the middle of the night, he wanders around for a bit & discovers a large stone with pictures about Cthulu (I think)
The second verse definitely sounds like it's about addiction. Maybe the first verse too. Awaking on planet black could be him realizing he's addicted to the "narcotic of the faceless ones". That doesn't sound like a song about weed though. Maybe like H or something.
