Pagan Moon

Beherit's 'Pagan Moon' is a song that delves into the themes of darkness, the occult, and a connection with evil forces. The lyrics suggest a ritualistic setting where the protagonist is engaging with demonic entities, seeking to become one with them or to gain their favor. The repeated references to 'the love of demon,' 'prisoner of evil,' and 'the truth of evil' indicate a willing submission to these dark forces, possibly as a means to obtain power or knowledge that is beyond the human realm.

The song's atmosphere is further enhanced by the imagery of a 'Dance of death' and 'Maiden's mourn,' which evoke a sense of macabre and the supernatural. The 'cauldron' and the calling of a name suggest a witchcraft ritual, where the boundary between the living and the dead, heaven and hell, is blurred. The lyrics 'Heaven's cold' and 'Satan make the living ghost' imply a rejection or absence of divine warmth, embracing instead the coldness of the afterlife or a spirit world governed by Satan.

Beherit, known for their black metal style, often incorporates themes of Satanism, paganism, and anti-Christian sentiment in their music. 'Pagan Moon' is consistent with this aesthetic, using a combination of dark lyrical content and a haunting soundscape to create an immersive experience for the listener. The song does not just tell a story; it invites the listener to partake in a dark and mystical journey, one that is both chilling and captivating.
