The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Hymn to Qayin" by the artist "Watain"

Contents

This hymn to Cain, penned by the Swedish black metal band Watain, is an ode to the biblical figure not as a cursed fratricide, but as a liberator, a pioneer on the path to forbidden knowledge.

The text is saturated with a rebellious spirit and worship of a power that opposes the divine order. Cain - "Giver of Black Light," "Leading the path of thorns," "Firstborn of Black Light" – symbolizes liberation through rebellion and knowledge of the forbidden. He opens the gates to true freedom, leading "beyond the stinking prison" of conventional morality and religion.

The author identifies with Cain, seeing him as a patron and guide ("Great Lord Cain, guide my hand, / For my deeds are yours"). "The Mark of the Serpent", "black", "blood" - symbols of overcoming the fear of death and plunging into the mysteries of being, hidden from the uninitiated.

The image of the "tree of knowledge," "seed, root, and fruit" refers to the biblical story of the Fall, but here it is interpreted not as a tragedy, but as a necessary step on the path to enlightenment.

In the final lines of the hymn, Cain appears as a horseman of the Apocalypse, bringing destruction to the old world and opening the way to a new one, free from dogma and restrictions.

Mighty path-opener

Striking fast as the sharpest of spears

Bringer of the black light

I bask in your halo of glory and might

Treader of the Path of thorns, cursed yet truly blessed.

Through exile, coronation and conquest

To the throne of the Ravens of Death

Mighty master Qayin, guide my hand

For my deeds are thine

Firstborn of the Black Light,

Lord of the Shadows of Death,

And father of the Bloodline

And as I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death

I shall fear no evil, for Baaltzelmoth is with me

His scythe smites all my enemies.

And his 7 keys open the gates leading beyond this prison so foul

Death bringer

Death dealer

Whose might even the pale raped moon reflects

Thorn-crowned master, scythe wielder

Bearer of the serpent's mark.

By your left hand green was stained red to bring forth the Black

For to kill one is to murder all.

The mark on your brow is the sign I follow and bear

Show me the secrets of seed, root and fruit

To harvest from the tree of knowledge

Before the final reaping lead by Death's sinistral hand

From below the first grave mound

At the crossroad of life and death

The gates within were opened without

The great black cross stands solemn upon the skull and the crossed bones

And the mysteries whispered by the dwellers within.

In Death

Through blood and incense burning in snake shapes

You opened wide the gates

And I looked and beheld a black horse and its masters name was Qayin

And Hell followed with him
