Desecrating The Temple ov Sekhmet
Sacrilege Unveiled: Unraveling Existentialist's Ode to Divine Rebellion
Lyrics
Invoke the last rites
Invoking the final rituals or ceremonies
Souls of the damned descending below
Souls of the condemned descending to the underworld
Hearts weighed against feathers
Hearts being judged for their weight against feathers, a reference to the Egyptian afterlife belief
Pass through the Gates of Duat alone
Passing through the Gates of Duat, the Egyptian realm of the dead, alone
Fear me not I bring enlightenment
Assuring that there is no need to fear as enlightenment is being brought
Desecrate the house of gods
Disrespecting or violating the sacred places of deities
Sekhmet weeps the Eye of Ra deceived
Depicting Sekhmet, an Egyptian goddess, weeping due to deception of the Eye of Ra
Emperors defile this land
Emperors defiling the land, possibly a commentary on power corruption
God replaces gods of sand
God replacing ancient gods made of sand, reflecting changing religious beliefs
Righteous men usurp a dynasty
Righteous individuals overthrowing a ruling dynasty
Five thousand years of Phaeroic rule
Referencing a long period of ancient Egyptian rule
Jesus Christ saviour who does not save
Jesus Christ portrayed as a savior who, in the context, does not save
He will not erase your sins
Emphasizing that Jesus will not absolve sins
Murdered children stain your holy lands
Mentioning murdered children staining holy lands, possibly criticizing religious conflicts
Pray to him you cannot be saved
Indicating that praying to Jesus may not guarantee salvation
You will burn
Warning of impending punishment or damnation
Crucified now revered by your judges they march forth
Crucified individuals now revered by judges, possibly criticizing blind faith
Spreading your cancerous faith through paradise
Describing the spread of a faith deemed cancerous through paradise
As the old faith dies a new god will rise
Anticipating the rise of a new god as the old faith dies
Temples burned a land reduced to sand
Temples being destroyed and a land turning into sand, symbolic of decay and destruction
Buried in the dunes
People buried in the dunes, possibly representing forgotten or lost civilizations
Scholars scorned
Scholars scorned, and their technological advances becoming mythical
Their technological advances reduced to myth
Technological progress being forgotten over time
Forgotten
Complete oblivion and neglect of past knowledge
A new saviour will rise
Predicting the rise of a new savior or deity
Cursed what did we learn
Expressing a sense of curse and questioning the lessons learned
Carve the corpse of the past
Encouraging discarding the remnants of the past
Violence infects the world
Violence spreading and infecting the world
Lies usurped by lies
Highlighting the prevalence of lies replacing other lies
The bastard son of Nazareth strides forth
Referring to Jesus as the illegitimate son of Nazareth advancing with authority
Cursed we did not learn
Reiterating the sense of curse and the failure to learn from past mistakes
Pious men now plague our Earth
Righteous individuals causing trouble or affliction on Earth
Plague our Earth
Continuing to emphasize the affliction on Earth caused by pious men
