A Dark Pact: The Haunting Plea in 'Seram Mios Para Siempre'
Brujeria's 'Seram Mios Para Siempre' delves into the dark and occult themes that the band is known for. The lyrics are a chilling invocation to Lucifer, the 'Emperador lucifer,' and the 'Principe de los espiritus rebeldes,' asking him to leave his abode and come forth to be worshipped. This plea is not just a simple request but a command, invoking the power of the Holy Trinity—'Padre, hijo y espiritu santo'—to compel Lucifer to appear and respond to the summoner's questions. The summoner's demand for Lucifer to appear 'sin despedir ningun malo olor' (without emitting any foul odor) adds a layer of eerie specificity, emphasizing the seriousness and gravity of the ritual being described.
The song continues with the summoner making a bold promise to Lucifer, offering a treasure in exchange for secrecy and charity towards the poor. This paradoxical request—seeking both wealth and benevolence—highlights the complex and often contradictory nature of human desires. The summoner's demand for a gold coin on the first day of each month signifies a perpetual bond, a never-ending cycle of give and take. The threat that 'si faltas a lo pactado, seras mio para siempre' (if you fail to keep the pact, you will be mine forever) underscores the high stakes of this dark agreement, where failure results in eternal damnation.
The final lines of the song, 'Entregame todo lo que me pertenece, todo lo que amas, oro, poder, placer, yerbas y polvo,' encapsulate the summoner's insatiable greed and desire for control over all aspects of life—wealth, power, pleasure, and even substances. The repeated assertion that 'seras mio para siempre' (you will be mine forever) serves as a haunting reminder of the eternal consequences of such a pact. Brujeria's use of vivid and unsettling imagery, combined with their signature aggressive musical style, creates a powerful and thought-provoking piece that explores the depths of human ambition and the dark allure of forbidden power.
