Cover art for Black Hole Sun lyrics by Soundgarden

This song is yet another song about the Beast. Fall into a black hole sun and you will never reach bottom. It is the bottomless pit from which the beast ascends. It is also one of his main symbols. "Call my name through the cream" and "Won't you come" are references to his use of sex magic to project his image into music in general: "No one sings like you anymore" There are connections to the backmaskings of the live "Scentless Apprentice", and "Hello" by Babes in Toyland. The video has even more, including directly suggesting that this song refers to the end of the world: "The end is nigh", and "Faith saves" which refers to the rapture (as does "til you all just disappear".)
