Lyrics
Life feeds upon life
Life sustains itself by consuming other living entities.
Death comes while we're sleeping
Death can unexpectedly approach while we are unaware or vulnerable during sleep.
Foretold in our traditions
Predicted in our cultural heritage and passed down through generations.
The panic before the reaping
The anxiety or fear preceding a significant gathering or harvest.
Despondent
Feeling hopeless or in low spirits.
Frozen
Stuck in a state of numbness or inertia.
Unwanted
Not desired or rejected by others.
Wasting away
Gradually diminishing or deteriorating.
Drinking the compromise
Consuming something that involves making concessions or accepting less than ideal conditions.
Full force disarray
A state of complete disorder and confusion with full intensity.
Life eats life
Reiteration of the idea that life consumes other life.
From the start the mechanics of existence is a sheep
From the beginning, the mechanism of life is compared to a flock of sheep led by a shepherd with a knife (symbolizing death).
Being led by the shepherd with a knife
Continuation of the metaphorical depiction of life's journey led by a potentially threatening guide.
Life eats life
Repeating the concept that life sustains itself by consuming other life forms.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't run for the forest as all did before us
Despite the inevitability of life consuming life, there is a call to escape or resist, reminiscent of past generations.
Ahh! to be alive
An exclamation expressing the intensity and appreciation of being alive despite the harsh realities.
Life eats life
Reiteration of the central theme of life feeding on life.
The sun is a hunter
Symbolic representation of the sun as a predator and the earth as its prey or partner.
The earth is his wife
Metaphorically describing the relationship between the sun and the earth.
Soon we'll be the ones ducking from the scythe
Anticipation of becoming the ones facing imminent danger or death.
Life eats life
Repetition of the idea that life consumes other life for survival.
Mercury we thank you for your gift of heat and light
Expressing gratitude to the planet Mercury for providing warmth and light.
Counsel us to reality
Seeking guidance and advice from Mercury to understand the true nature of reality.
Reveal to us a song
Asking for a revelation or insight in the form of a song.
For we search for a reason to go on
Expressing a quest for purpose or meaning in life.
We'll be the conquerors until forgotten
We, as individuals, will continue to strive for success until we are eventually forgotten.
Harvesting from fields yet to be trodden
Metaphorically speaking about reaping rewards from unexplored opportunities or endeavors.
