Demoniac Possession

Pentagram Chile's song 'Demoniac Possession' delves into the harrowing experience of an individual undergoing an exorcism. The lyrics vividly describe the physical and spiritual torment faced by the possessed person, painting a grim picture of their suffering. The song opens with the high priest's attempt to exorcise the demons, highlighting the intense pain and agony as the body writhes and contorts. The imagery of unhuman growls and the inability to expel the plague underscores the severity of the possession and the struggle between good and evil forces.

As the exorcism progresses, the lyrics detail the physical manifestations of the possession. The crucifix lacerates the flesh, the skin darkens and smells, and holy water burns the skin, all symbolizing the clash between the sacred and the profane. The description of the possessed person's face becoming horribly deformed and their flesh rotting while still alive adds a layer of horror, emphasizing the relentless nature of the demonic influence. The floating in the air, held by an invisible force, signifies the power and control the demons have over the mortal realm.

The song also touches on the broader themes of demonic influence and the eternal struggle between good and evil. The demons, described as tormenting creations of God, bring misery and pain, having lost paradise and now seeking to possess helpless souls. The lyrics suggest that while some demons can be expelled, the mightiest ones will only leave upon the death of the possessed, taking their soul into eternal fire. This narrative reflects the band's exploration of dark and supernatural themes, characteristic of their musical style, which often delves into the macabre and the mystical.
