about

This was the other song, together with "The Storms And The Shadows" which went 10 years without a title and lyrics. In fact, the beginning riff was differently arranged. It sounded awkward, maybe off-tempo but was lacking in heaviness. This recorded version was purely influenced by IMMOLATION's style. We are satisfied with how crushing this version turned out. There is a good build up between the beginning riff, to the entrance of the vocals, to the pounding parts and reaching a crushing chorus climax.

The middle part slows down a bit just to ascend to the pounding tempo where we played around with the galloping guitar riff before revisiting the beginning riff which we felt the need to return to and end the song.

Just like "The Storms And The Shadows", this lyrics in this song started off from one line. The lyrics of this song tells the vision seen by Solomon. Solomon was gifted with the ability to not just communicate with, but to command non-human beings. (This is the same Solomon whose temple hides vast riches of knowledge of magic). He was a king in his time and he had a vision where his throne was occupied by a body (jasad). It wasn't a person who dethroned him. It was a body. And body in this context refers to a soulless entity. This soulless entity was supposed to symbolize the Dajjal.

Further reading on the Dajjal will reveal his ambition to seek and coronate himself over Solomon's throne. Solomon proved to be the greatest king, perhaps befitting of the title "King of All Kings", which is why the Dajjal has his sights on the ultimate kingdom.

As mentioned in other songs, the Dajjal is the master of deceit. "He brings with him the paradise, leading all to their demise..." He is not only able to make promises, he is able to make you see the promises and convince you beyond any doubt. The ultimate and inevitable temptation!

lyrics

THE JASAD ON THE THRONE

They were wrecked by the storm
Washed ashore to unknown land
They were beckoned to a cave
Thus revealed the prophecy

He was chained and contained
But his knowledge so unrestrained
All his questions were answered
He revealed his true face

The embodiment of evil
Blasphemy made flesh
Doomed to inherit
Solomon’s kingdom

Raiding the throne
With false powers
Dajjal enthroned
Dark messiah

From the south of Syria
To the north of Iraq
In the land of Judea
Emerging in Isfahaan

Followers to his flock
Armies and battalions
Children of desolation
Nations of destruction

The embodiment of evil
Blasphemy made flesh
Doomed to inherit
Solomon’s kingdom

Raiding the throne
With false powers
Dajjal enthroned
Dark messiah

Soulless jasad on the throne
With treachery he shall dethrone
His existence is still unknown
Infect the masses on his own

The People of the messiah
He is Chosen by the Chosen
He brings with him the paradise
Leading all to their demise

The sacred magic he possess
Towards hellfire mankind obsess
To the doubters he show his wrath
Seduce believers along his path

The People of the messiah
He is Chosen by the Chosen
He brings with him the paradise
Leading all to their demise

The sacred magic he possess
Towards hellfire mankind obsess
To the doubters he show his wrath
Seduce believers along his path

From the south of Syria
To the north of Iraq
In the land of Judea
Emerging in Isfahaan

Followers to his flock
Armies and battalions
Children of desolation
Nations of destruction

From the south of Syria
To the north of Iraq
In the land of Judea
Emerging in Isfahaan

Followers to his flock
Armies and battalions
He’s the jasad on the throne
King Solomon he dethrones
