Discover the story of the song > In the Shadow of the Horns – darkthrone

The song is about a man who sees the reflection of a goat in the mirror, and his burning eyes remind him of searching for memories on a hillside. He talks about kings who only see things in the shadow of horns and how they are cleansed like air in the night. He also mentions cursed seeds, forces and eternal dawn, as well as witchcraft and weeping by graves. The lyrics suggest that these are all related to the triumph of chaos and an abyssic hate that has guided their path.
