The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Stellarvore" by the artist "Watain"

Contents

The lyrics of Watain's "Stellarvore" paint an apocalyptic prophecy, an anthem to the destructive power of a cosmic, star-devouring deity.

The song begins by depicting this deity approaching from the four cardinal directions, imbued with the might of natural forces: mountains, oceans, fire, and storms. It strides through darkness, "where no life force is allowed to dwell," a realm beyond the divine, where the Serpent, symbolizing chaos and destruction, reigns supreme.

The absence of stars in the sky is no coincidence. The deity, named "Stellarvore" (star-devourer), consumes their light, plunging the universe into darkness.

Watain equates Stellarvore with the god of death and the god of fate, urging it to unleash its wrath and annihilate creation. They describe it as a many-limbed monstrosity, encompassing the universe with its tentacles, extinguishing the flames of stars, leaving only emptiness in its wake.

The destruction wrought by Stellarvore is not portrayed as an end, but as a transformation. From its "nauseating darkness," a new kingdom emerges, built upon the wreckage of the old world. The Tree of Death, a symbol of both death and rebirth, takes root at the heart of creation.

Watain welcomes the arrival of this new order, praising the deity and calling for the destruction of its enemies. The shifting of time and space signifies the dawn of a new era, where Stellarvore reigns supreme.

With the strength of the mountains,

Come forth from the North; Agios Daimon!

With the hunger of oceans,

Come forth from the West; Agios Daimon!

As fire and flame,

Come forth from the South; Agios Daimon!

As thunder and storm,

Come forth from the East; Agios Daimon!

In the darkness,

In the nothingness of absent light,

Where no life force is permitted to exist.

From far beyond the borders,

Where god not dares,

The Serpent gloats in hunger.

No star will shine tonight.

No star, no matter how bright.

Across the firmament goes its flight.

A great darkness devouring the light.

God of Death. Manifest.

God of Doom. Move and appear!

Spread thine countless tentacles

Across the universe.

Let them spasm throughout

The labyrinth of trembling stars.

Strangle their flickering flames,

Eat them whole.

Wander ancient Dragon,

Across the cursed heavens.

Yes, behold now as it opens

To swallow the world

And to melt the very essence of creation.

The burning mouth of Samaël,

Through which all shall be reborn.

Wide agape now in this final hour.

And from its reeking darkness

A new kingdom shall ascend,

Erected on the pillars

Of the ever-burning underworld.

Can't you see the twisted branches

Of the tree of Death?

Rising now in putrid doom

At the center of the world!

Let us welcome the Bringer of the End

With open arms.

Let us adorn the gates to nothingness

With blood.

Let us lay its enemies

Like palm leaves upon the path

On which the Lord is coming in glory.

The upheaval of the ages,

That naught shall shun.

Time and space devoured as one.

From your abode in the dark,

Come forth; Thou who eats the stars!

God of Death. Manifest.

God of Doom. Move and appear!

God of Death. Manifest.

Strike once more.

Stellarvore.
