Anno Satana Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, did you know I'm a wanted man?
Steeped in black, where the sun won't pass
I never needed anyone, no-oh
I never needed anyone, no-oh

[Chorus]
Young hearts must flame
Hell must roil
And feeling this all and all that surrounds you
It's I who admits he'll lie in wait

[Verse 2]
Lord knows I've been gunning fast, oh
On seven's six, low on thirteen black
I never needed anyone, no-oh-oh
I never needed anyone, no-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Saturn curdles sleep
Death will change a heart
I'm feeling this all and all that surrounds you
It's I who admits he'll lie in wait

[Verse 3]
Strike earth, ply name
Rend sulfur to sage
I'm feeling this all and all that surrounds you
Here he comes, here comes a wanted man
So step back, where the word don't last
I never needed anyone, no-oh-oh
I never needed anyone, no-no-no

[Chorus]
Young hearts will change
Hell will have its roil
And feeling this all and all that surrounds you
It's I who admits he'll lie in wait

Cover art for Anno Satana lyrics by Smashing Pumpkins, The

Anno Santana literally means “year of satan”.

Oh, did you know I'm a wanted man? Steeped in black, where the sun won't pass

—- Billy is in trouble for leaking encrypted secrets through his lyrics of the freemasonry he’s been a part of

I never needed anyone, no I never needed anyone, no

—- but somehow he fell for the blood pact

Young hearts must flame Hell must roil

—- the purpose of hell on earth is to captivate young minds with passionate lies and enslave them

And feeling this all ends all surrounds you It's I who admits here lying in waves

—- Billy admits this charade ends when Christ comes back…but he’s screwed, and the reality of that haunts him while he’s alone.

Lord knows, I've been gunning fast, oh —- he’s been making fame and fortune his god at any cost

I'm seven-six, low on fancy blood —- deeply disturbing, it’s his Masonic tribe number, and he’s admitting to partaking in blood communions with children’s blood.

Saturn curdle sleep —- Saturn is the astrological sign of satan, it’s the same thing, interchangeably; satan disturbs his sleep

Death will change your heart —- he’s officially made a pact with death and it’s not the same for him

And feeling this all ends all surrounds you It's I who admits here lying in waves

—- again, there’s nothing he can do about his decision.

Strike Earth, cry name Rend sulfur to sage

—— Jesus comes back, and hits earth with a shout, people say “get away Christ!” —— Jesus changes the sulfur (fire, death, destruction, smell) to sage (a pleasant herbal plant)

Once again, it’s Billy who has sold his soul, he can’t do anything about his predicament. At least he realizes it. God help his kids.
