Dawn of Meggido
Rebirth in Flames: Unveiling the Profound Meaning of Celtic Frost's Dawn of Meggido
Lyrics
Humilated in human form
Feeling degraded in human form
We have to die to be reborn
Death is necessary for spiritual rebirth
Awaiting the final judgement
Anticipation of the final judgment
The dawn now lifts, subjects of flesh
The dawn reveals the vulnerability of mortal bodies
Slaves of lust
Humanity enslaved by lust
The cross has failed
The symbol of the cross has failed or is ineffective
You won't see the coming fall
Unawareness of an impending downfall
A diviner's fire and soil
Reference to divine elements like fire and soil
Flames, like flowers, like blood
Imagery of flames, flowers, and blood
Fires of freedom, flowers of doom
Symbolism of freedom and doom in fires and flowers
A surface of hateful hope
A superficial and hateful hope
Oh subjects of pain
Addressing those who experience pain
Lovers of death you will feel
Those who love death will experience yearning flames
The yearning flames
Intense desire depicted as flames
Flames like tongues like cries
Comparing flames to tongues and cries
Pant for kisses for bites
Desire for kisses and bites
Seven steps and we're one
Symbolic unity through seven steps
Humiliated in human thoughts
Feeling degraded in human thoughts
The frost, it bites your inner heart
The frost biting the inner heart, suggesting emotional coldness
Frozens the flame in every eye
Freezing the flame in every eye, implying a lack of passion
The lord will come
Anticipation of the arrival of a divine figure (the lord)
Broken ice the fire will burn
Breaking the ice, symbolizing the burning of fire
Gleaming ways well never be reborn
Gleaming ways that will never lead to rebirth
Prenatal death's redeemed our lives
Redemption of lives through prenatal death
Into his hand we demand our hearts
Seeking the lord's guidance and control over hearts
The lord and we are one
Unity between the lord and humanity
