Embers Hallowed
Embers Hallowed: A Phoenix Rising from Life's Inferno
Lyrics
Embers hallowed trees that once grew
Embers represent remnants or remains of something that was once vibrant or alive; "hallowed trees" suggests sacred or revered trees that have been affected.
Embers hallowed this life we once knew
Continuing the theme of the remnants affecting a past life or existence, implying a significant change or destruction.
A life once fortified by walls that now burn
Refers to a past life that was protected or strengthened by barriers that are now being destroyed or consumed by fire.
Nowhere to go, nowhere to turn
A sense of being trapped or having no options or solutions amidst the destruction.
The smell of smoke, it fills the air
Describing the pervasive presence of smoke in the atmosphere.
It's 12am and we're unaware
Indicating the time and a lack of awareness or realization of the imminent danger.
The midnight sky glows burning red
The sky taking on a reddish glow due to the fire.
Our mindset shifts to fear and dread
A shift in mentality to one of fear and apprehension.
I can't escape this place
A feeling of being unable to leave a distressing situation.
We're not promised today
Highlighting the uncertainty of life's duration.
So take away this pain
Requesting relief from suffering or distress.
We'll never breathe the same
Life will never return to the way it was before the devastation.
Angels descend from the earth's heavenly sun
Symbolic imagery of divine beings descending to rectify the destruction.
To extinguish the damage done
To rectify or alleviate the harm caused.
From far and wide they heed our call
Implying help arriving from various places in response to the distress signal.
To fight the flames that stand 20 feet tall
A visual description of the towering flames.
I can't escape this place
Reiteration of feeling trapped in a distressing situation.
We're not promised today
Reiterating the uncertainty of life's continuity.
So take away this pain
A plea for relief from suffering or pain.
We'll never breathe the same
Life will be permanently altered by the experience.
Embers hallowed trees that once grew
Repeating the concept of remnants affecting once-thriving trees.
Embers hallowed this life we once knew
Reiterating the impact of remnants on a past life or existence.
A life once fortified by walls that now burn
Re-emphasizing the destruction of barriers that fortified life in the past.
Nowhere to go, nowhere to turn
Continuing the sense of being trapped or having no solutions amidst destruction.
The ash it falls, in atrophy
Describing the continuous falling of ash as a result of the destruction.
The ash it falls, in atrophy
Repeating the imagery of falling ash, possibly suggesting a cycle of destruction and decay.
Our homes are gone, turned to ash
Expressing the complete destruction of homes into ashes.
By the flames, yet here we stand
Despite the destruction, people remain standing, resilient.
Can we start anew
Questioning the possibility of a fresh start or new beginning.
So with these hands, we'll start to rebuild
A commitment to rebuild using their own efforts and determination.
Tall temples and castles with new lives instilled
Aspiring to create new structures and lives in the aftermath.
No this is not, this is not defeat
Declaring that despite the destruction, it's not a complete loss.
We'll start to rebuild, we've begun to rebuild
Reaffirmation of the determination to rebuild and the start of that process.
