Labour of the Sacred Bodies
Sacred Labor: Unveiling the Cosmic Creation in Shadows
Lyrics
Foreman!
Addressing the overseer or supervisor
They must work until they bleed
Workers are required to work intensely
The ache of flesh and bone
The physical pain of labor
Is no excuse for them to sleep
No excuse for rest or sleep
Do they not see the glory of the toil and struggle they endure
Questioning if workers recognize the value in their toil for a new worship place
In the name of building a new place for our worship?
The labor is done for the construction of a sacred space
The temple shall face the sea of stars
Describing the temple's orientation
Its beacon shall be the moon in the darkest of nights
The moon serves as a guiding light in the temple's darkness
You must embrace the shadows
Embrace challenges and difficulties
In a lonely trance
A state of isolation or meditation
Came my vision
A visionary experience
I trust the way of the ones
Trusting the path of certain individuals
Now build me a temple
Requesting the construction of a temple
I need your strongest people
Need for strong and capable workers
This creation is a marvel to behold
The completed temple is impressive
Our pantheon awakens to a
The pantheon comes to life in a new way
new life and we cannot disappoint them
Importance of not disappointing the deities
Keep the people coming
Encouraging a continuous influx of people
I guarantee there is no limit
Assuring an unlimited supply of labor
To the bodies I will employ to
Intention to employ more bodies for the project
Keep the slaves coming
Continued need for enslaved workers
Flesh sacks of untold strength
Describing the workers as strong but disposable
Slaving away to create the 8th wonder of the world
Highlighting the creation of a remarkable structure
Disposable husks of labor in a story yet to be told
Workers are seen as expendable in an untold narrative
I spill shadows on the pages
Symbolic use of shadows in the narrative
Transformed into a vessel of The Ones
Transformation into vessels for higher powers
Thy will be done
Submission to the will of the higher powers
Thy will be done
Repetition emphasizing submission to divine will
Build me a temple
Reiteration of the request for temple construction
Build me a shrine
Expansion of the request to build a shrine
Build me a temple
Repetition emphasizing the desire for construction
Build me a shrine to the gods
Specifically requesting a shrine for the gods
Don't fear the shadows
Encouragement to face challenges without fear
They still come from our sun
Shadows are a natural part of existence
Now get to work!
An imperative command to resume work
Build me a temple
Reiteration of the request for temple construction
Build me a shrine
Repetition of the desire for shrine construction
Don't fear the shadows
Encouragement to face shadows without fear
They still come from our sun
Reminder that shadows come from the sun, a natural phenomenon
