The song "Devil's Bride" by Electric Wizard talks about a woman who is chosen to be the bride of Satan. The lyrics describe her appearance, dressed in black, symbolizing darkness and evil. It is implied that she willingly embraces this role, as there is "no turning back" for her. It is also mentioned that she will bear Satan's child, suggesting the creation of the antichrist or a demonic offspring. The chorus repeats the phrase "Devil's bride," emphasizing that the woman is ultimately bound to the devil. This can be seen as a metaphor for someone who has surrendered themselves to darkness or evil forces. The Devil's approval is sought through a nod, symbolizing his acceptance of the woman as his bride. The mention of thirteen candles suggests an occult ritual or ceremony, possibly related to Satanism or black magic. As the chanting grows, indicating the approach of a significant event, the lyrics state that the woman, who serves as Lucifer's consort (a term referring to a spouse or partner), shows no fear. This shows her dedication and commitment to their unholy union. Overall, the song paints a dark and sinister picture of a woman chosen to be the bride of the Devil, highlighting themes of occultism, Satanism, and the embrace of darkness.
