The Third Covenant
Eclipsed Redemption: Unveiling the Abyss in 'The Third Covenant'
Lyrics
The stars take over
The celestial bodies take control
And consume my flesh
They consume my physical form
My body is failing
My body is deteriorating
And I feel so possessed
I feel overtaken by a supernatural force
From the ashes I was born
I emerged from destruction and rebirth
And to ashes I confess
I confess my existence is fleeting like ashes
From the pocket that's torn
From a torn pocket comes death's flowers
Comes the posies of death
Symbols of mortality emerge from decay
Your time has come
A declaration that someone's time has come
The sun is burning out
The sun, a metaphor for life, is fading away
So find your place in the sun
Find your place before it's too late
Are you here for me?
An inquiry about presence and support
Father help me
A plea for paternal assistance
They won't let me back in
Exclusion or rejection prevents return
Father save me
A cry for salvation from transgressions
From all of my sins
Seeking deliverance from wrongdoing
My skin turns black
A metaphorical change, possibly corruption
And my eyes turn red
Eyes reflect a corrupted or altered state
Can't even tell if I'm living
A state of existential confusion
Or if I'm dead
An uncertainty about life or death
Your time has come
Reiteration of the impending end
The sun is burning out
The life-giving force is diminishing
So find your place in the sun
Act quickly to find purpose or meaning
Are you here for me?
A repeated question about support
Are you here for me?
Doubtful repetition, questioning presence
Your time has come
Reiteration of the imminent end
The sun is burning out
The life-sustaining force is waning
So find your place in the sun
Act promptly to find purpose or meaning
Are you here for me? (x2)
Repeated questioning of support, intensified
