The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Ruler of Tamag" by the artist "Therion"

Contents

The lyrics of the song "Ruler of Tamag" by the Swedish metal band Therion tell the story of the ancient Turkic deity Erlik Khan, the ruler of the underworld Tamag.

The song begins by describing the birth of Erlik Khan, the son of the Creator, endowed with power and might. However, blinded by pride, he was cast down into a fiery abyss for his transgressions.

The lyrics then address Erlik Khan, describing him as the judge of sinners condemned to eternal torment in Tamag. Their suffering, tears, and hatred nourish his dark essence.

The song also mentions the sons of Erlik Khan: Karash Khan, the god of darkness, and Chingay Khan, the god of chaos.

The final plea is addressed to Maitreya, the Buddhist deity, with a request to prevent Erlik Khan from escaping the underworld and to stop his evil will.

[Taida Nazraić:]

In ancient of times through a rhythm divine

The God of creation would bring

The birth of his son, wrapped in power and strong

Whose name every legend will sing

A wielder of dreams Erlik han came to be

His wisdom would revel in pride

And thus he was cast down where fire shall last

Forever consuming our minds

[Thomas Vikström, Lori Lewis:]

Karaş Han! Karaş Han!

Karanlığın hükümdarı

Çıngay Han! Çıngay Han! (Ey Kara Yer'in Dokuz Oğulları!)

Kargaşanın ulu hanı (Başlatın dünyanın kadim zamanını)

[Taida Nazraić:]

You're destined to rule over judgement and doom

Inferno of Tamag inside

Where sinners do bleed, damned to always receive

And summon the tears that they've cried

Descending through hate, human hearts to create

Such evil those spirits unleashed

Your blackest of eyes greet their blood-sacrifice

As prince of thy darkness supreme

[Lori Lewis:]

Yere inerken Maytere

Sustur onun fermanını!

Yerin dokuz kat dibinde

Son bulsun tutsaklığın!

[Lori Lewis:]

In ancient of times through a rhythm divine

The God of creation would bring

The birth of his son, wrapped in power and strong

Whose name every legend will sing

A wielder of dreams Erlik han came to be

His wisdom would revel in pride

And thus he was cast down where fire shall last

Forever consuming our minds
