Lyrics
Upon it's shores
Refers to the shores of a place
There's a place the dead still speak
There exists a place where the deceased continue to communicate
A fire roars to purify beyond it's door
A fire burns to cleanse or purify behind a door
We quest to find what countless seek
Individuals embark on a quest pursued by many
Forevermore our voices cry
Continual cries or pleas echo eternally
Under the Earth
Beneath the surface of the Earth
Sails of Charon catch the wind
Reference to the sails of Charon, ferryman of the dead in Greek mythology
Below we will dwell under the Earth
Describes dwelling beneath the Earth
The lost souls pay for their sins
Deceased souls face consequences for their transgressions
We're burning in Hell
Expresses suffering or intense hardship
Temple of Acheron - Ritual - Sacrifice
Depicts the Temple of Acheron, involving rituals and sacrifices
Burns toward the sky
A symbolic fire burning high
The gates of Necromanteion
Mention of the gates of Necromanteion, a place related to communicating with the dead
Welcoming all those who died
Open to all deceased individuals
Breathing deep a most fragrant smoke
Inhaling a potent smoke or scent
Spirit's of long dead souls invoked
Spirits of long-deceased individuals are summoned or called upon
River of woe never gaze into the water
Advises against looking into the River of Woe, leading to Hades, a place of punishment for sinners
To Hades flows a sinner's fate
Condemns sinners to the fate of Hades
The life we chose
Reflects on the choices made in life
Murderers led to the slaughter
Illustrates murderers being led to their demise
In dark shadows damnation wait's
Anticipation of damnation in dark shadows
Under the Earth
Similar to line 7, dwelling beneath the Earth
Sails of Charon catch the wind
Reiteration of Charon's sails beneath the Earth
Below we will dwell under the Earth
Reiterates dwelling beneath the Earth for the departed
The lost souls pay for their sins
Reaffirms the consequences of sins for the lost souls
We're burning in Hell
Repeats the intense suffering or punishment
Temple of Acheron - Ritual - Sacrifice
Reiteration of the Temple of Acheron, its rituals, and sacrifices
Burns toward the sky
Continued depiction of a burning ritual toward the sky
The gates of Necromanteion
Mention of the gates of Necromanteion, welcoming all deceased individuals
Welcoming all those who died
Reaffirmation of the gates of Necromanteion's purpose
