The Devil's Bleeding Crown Lyrics Meaning

The band has described the album as "spiritual with sarcasm".

I think the lyrics is what it is. A text about evil versus good. And read it carefully. There's no sign of good winning this battle.

"Call upon it's Father, bless the goat, the womanizer. Take him to Astaroth, Inanna's temple of Uruk"

"They gathered all the children outside the church. And never would they know what went on in there
Close the door and hear all the angels scream
"Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, oh mercy, please!"
Down, down, down
Down below you can hear his hoof digging through the ground
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord
The horned one is back and he wants his crown"

I really don't think this lyrics should be overanalyzed. It is a great song with fascinating lyrics. That's all.
