![I will be using the song “Ravenous” by Arch Enemy, from the album “Wages of Sin” Lyrics: I am hunting for your soul It dwells within your heart I lacerate the pounding flesh Your spirits shall be mine So rise my spirits rise Revel in this dead mans' body Grip his soul, sip the blood Life is death A holy carnage [Chorus] Ravenous I will be your god Carnivorous Jesus I need your flesh Ritual slaughter Fill up the chalice With the essence of your life Liquid strengths Trapped in your veins I crave your blood You must die [Chorus] I interpreted this song as being about an evil spirit or something similar hunting someone before they die. There are also obvious connotations of cannibalism, implied by the words “flesh”, “blood” and “carnivorous”. I don’t believe the reference to god to be literal, it means that the spirit will own and control the person it is hunting. I will use the vocalist as the physical representation of the hunter, and will not show her full face at any time to maintain the fear and mystery about her.
