Theme
A hymn to the Antichrist, proclaiming 'He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see'—inverting traditional religious devotion by directing worship toward dark forces instead of divinity. The lyrics were influenced by Selim Lemouchi's tragic death, adding layers of genuine grief to the song's theological subversion. It's a meditation on misplaced faith.
Lyrics
We're standing here by the abyss
And the world
Is in flames
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out
To the beast
With many names
[Chorus]
He is
He’s the shining in the light
Without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite
He’s the force that made me be
He is
Nostro Dispater
Nostr'Alma Mater
He is
We’re hiding here inside a dream
And all our doubts
Are now destroyed
The guidance of the morning star
Will lead the way
Into the void
[Chorus]
He is
He’s the shining in the light
Without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite
He’s the force that made me be
He is
Nostro Dispater
Nostr'Alma Mater
He is
[Chorus]
He is
He’s the shining in the light
Without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite
He’s the force that made me be
He is
He’s the shining in the light
Without whom I cannot see
And he is
The disobedience that holds us together
He is
Nostro Dispater
Nostr'Alma Mater
And we are falling
Over the precipice
