Discover the story of the song > Septentrion – Abbath

The protagonist is describing a journey through a violent storm in the north. The storm is fierce and burns like a tongue searing its way through the clouds. They are pushing through the storm to emerge from the melting shroud of snow and ice in the Arctic. The waves of the ocean beneath them are relentless, clawing at their ship like a beast. They soar above the turbulent waves, like a plough cutting through a field of bodies. The storm is powerful and destructive, bringing seven plagues and sinking seven ships. It is heading southward to overwhelm the lands. The protagonist repeats the word "Septentrion" multiple times, which is a poetic reference to the north.
