Desterrando A Los Oscurantistas

Hermetica's song 'Desterrando A Los Oscurantistas' is a powerful critique of societal manipulation and the misuse of power. The lyrics vividly describe how media ('Por TV contagian su infección') spreads harmful ideologies, likening it to an infection. This infection is propagated by 'los esclavos del viejo transgresor,' or the slaves of the old transgressor, suggesting a deep-rooted system of control and oppression. The song condemns the blessing of weapons for destruction in the name of God, highlighting the hypocrisy and moral corruption of those in power ('Bendicen armas para la destrucción usando en vano el nombre de Dios')

The chorus emphasizes the premeditated nature of war and death ('Guerra, pre-fabricaron. Muerte, siguen sembrando'), and how these actions are fundamentally against the principles of brotherly love ('Contra, el amor fraterno'). The resulting hatred ('Odio, ha generado') is a direct consequence of these actions, painting a bleak picture of a society driven by conflict and division. Hermetica's lyrics are a call to recognize and resist these dark forces, urging listeners to remain steadfast and driven by a higher purpose ('Sigo en pie sin detener mi motor, pues me mueve la divina predicción').

The song's title, 'Desterrando A Los Oscurantistas,' translates to 'Banish the Obscurantists,' which encapsulates the band's message of fighting against ignorance and oppression. The imagery of arriving 'como ladrón en la noche' (like a thief in the night) suggests a sudden and decisive action to overthrow these dark forces. Hermetica's music, characterized by its aggressive and raw style, complements the urgency and intensity of the lyrics, making 'Desterrando A Los Oscurantistas' a rallying cry for justice and enlightenment.
