Song Meaning

The lyrics open with a startling invocation, calling forth a "Serpent of pride" and "Mother of the earth." This immediately establishes a tone of primal, almost pagan reverence, quickly twisted by the command to an "erotic Pentagram." The initial reverence quickly gives way to a destructive impulse, setting a confrontational stage. A profound tension emerges between creation and desecration, reverence and utter contempt.
