Rising from Ashes: Gone D'arc's Spiritual Odyssey
Lyrics
I sailed to the ends of the earth
I explored the farthest reaches of the world
I failed then was given rebirth
I faced failure but experienced a transformative rebirth
I knelt at the feet of I AM
I humbled myself before the divine, often represented as "I AM"
Slitting the throat of my curse
I overcame my personal struggles and challenges
Tell me why so many want to be damned
Questioning why many people choose a path of damnation
Condemning the freedom unearned
Criticizing those who condemn freedom they haven't earned
They turnin the crucifix upside down
Describing a rebellion against established beliefs, symbolized by an upside-down crucifix
Defeated the wanna be burned
Defeating those who merely desire to be punished
It seem they dont wanna relearn
Suggesting resistance to learning from mistakes
They only wanna return
Preference for returning to familiar but painful circumstances
Back to the comfort in pain
Seeking comfort in pain and darkness
The dark where no spirit discerns
Avoiding spiritual enlightenment in the dark
Afraid theres time to explain
Expressing fear or hesitation in explaining certain experiences
Not long till were taken away
Suggesting an impending departure or transformation
Till then theres work to be done
Acknowledging the need for ongoing efforts or responsibilities
Continue to call on his name
Encouraging the continuation of invoking a higher power
Yuh
Expression of agreement or affirmation
Look to the good way
Advocating for a positive approach or perspective
Turn a blind eye to the hood game
Suggesting to ignore negative influences or criminal activities
Devil in the retail corps, young boy cold to the corpse on replay
Highlighting the corrupting influence of materialism and a violent culture
Death walkin on high heels
Metaphorically describing a dangerous and seductive force
Redman wanna destroy, slay, steal
Referring to destructive tendencies, including violence and theft
Go tell em that im here, faith of a mustard seed
Declaring a presence with strong faith despite challenges
Denied fear...cased in a plate of steel armor
Asserting a lack of fear, protected by a metaphorical steel armor
Placed in my hands in a blade and a shield
Given the tools of both offense (blade) and defense (shield)
Came back with a defensive tactic, clashes with the forces i wield
Returning with improved defensive strategies against opposing forces
Been ready to go to war
Expressing readiness for conflict or challenges
Cut with the blade of a trinity sealed sword
Using a powerful and symbolic weapon, the "trinity sealed sword"
Im seein his power forge us to become his soldiers ideal
Observing divine power shaping individuals into ideal soldiers
