Discover the story of the song > The Pentagram Burns – Satyricon

The protagonist is described as being strong and determined, armed and ready for war. He has his own rules which he expects others to follow. There is a sense of urgency, that time is running out, and he must fight against tyrants and enemies to burn the world and let sin and chaos reign. The title of the song, "The Pentagram Burns", suggests a dark/bad omen, and the lyrics also reference the possibility of an apocalyptic event, where a 'Triumphant Beast' arises.
