Song Meaning
The lyrics paint a picture of a chaotic, primal dance where fools are in motion, driven by an "iron heart." This imagery suggests a state of being detached or perhaps compelled, existing in extreme, opposing realms: "Über den wolken" (above the clouds) and "Unter der Erde" (under the earth). The repeated invocation of "Incubus succubus / Succubus incubus" and the insistent "Feuer, Feuer, ohhh!" (Fire, fire, ohhh!) create a sense of relentless, consuming passion or destructive energy.
The central tension seems to reside in the blurring of fundamental dualities. The lyrics explicitly list these contrasts: "Romanze der Nächte / Wird Glut" (Romance of the nights / Becomes embers), "Leben und Tod" (Life and death), "Sonne, Mond" (Sun, moon), "Kalt und heiß" (Cold and hot), "Schwarz und rot" (Black and red), "Körper und Geist" (Body and spirit), "Liebe und Hass" (Love and hate). This constant oscillation suggests a force that transcends or perhaps annihilates these distinctions, awakening something new for its own power.
The most striking aspect is the descent into darkness, a place "Ganz tief unten, wo es kein Licht mehr gibt" (Deep down, where there is no more light). This is coupled with the declaration, "Dämon, am Himmel ist kein Platz für uns!" (Demon, there is no room for us in heaven!). This powerful statement highlights a rejection or banishment from a celestial realm, forcing existence into a netherworld. The imagery of the "Morgenstern" (morning star) falling, becoming a "neuer Gott" (new god) for these powers, further emphasizes this inversion of order and the rise of a dark, potent force.
Ultimately, the lyrics resonate through their raw, almost ritualistic repetition and their embrace of extreme, opposing forces. The "Hexensabbat" (witch's sabbath) ruling the "Energie der Nacht" (energy of the night) solidifies this atmosphere of untamed, supernatural power. The effectiveness lies in this unyielding portrayal of a potent, perhaps destructive, entity or force that exists beyond conventional morality or order, thriving in the very dualities it seems to embody and consume.
