Lyrics
Earth shatters
Reference to a significant disruption or destruction of the Earth.
As a thousand voices echo through the tunnels
Amid the chaos, numerous voices resound in tunnels, indicating a collective experience.
Separate the cries from the clamour
Sorting out the cries amidst the chaos, distinguishing between different sounds.
Beneath the rubble
Below the debris, suggesting a dire or collapsed environment.
Coal dusted faces scurry
People with coal-covered faces hurriedly move towards a faint light.
To the light that shimmers
The source of light emanates from oil-filled lamps.
From oil filled lamps
Describing the light as it fades away gradually.
That extinguish one by one
Breaking rocks where death reputes
Working in dangerous conditions where death is common, possibly in mines.
Under the surface
Working beneath the surface of the Earth.
As the sky collapses
Symbolizing a catastrophic event in the sky.
Above doom filled caverns
Describing caverns filled with impending doom.
Rooms of amber encase bodies
Rooms filled with amber (fossilized resin) enclosing bodies left behind.
Of those left behind
Those who didn't escape are entombed.
The hearth in the hearts of men fragment for all time
The core of humanity breaks apart permanently.
Love ones abandoned
Loved ones abandoned without a choice or voice.
Without a choice or say
The harsh reality of being forsaken without options.
Make your peace with the devil
Accepting one's fate or making compromises in desperate situations.
Cos God can't hear you now
Highlighting the perceived absence of divine intervention.
Make your peace with the devil
Reiteration of making peace with dire circumstances.
God can't hear you now
Emphasizing the perceived silence or absence of God in the midst of hardship.
Reaching out dirt filled chambers
Extending hands into chambers filled with dirt, suggesting desperation or struggle.
As the cinder-shards burn hands
Hands burning from cinder-shards, portraying physical pain.
Revoke the will to live
Suggesting a loss of will to live in the face of overwhelming circumstances.
No one will judge you here
No judgment in this dire situation, perhaps implying a sense of hopelessness.
Earth shatters
Repetition of the initial line, reinforcing the idea of a shattered Earth.
As a thousand voices are silenced in the tunnels
A thousand voices are now silenced, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
Separate the gasps from the clamour
Distinguishing between gasps and clamor, highlighting the end of struggle.
Beneath the rubble
Repeating the imagery of being beneath rubble, emphasizing the entrapment.
Coal dusted faces lifeless underground
Coal-covered faces now lifeless underground, indicating widespread death.
War rips the world asunder
War causes devastation globally, tearing the world apart.
As they perish below
Emphasizing the tragic outcome as people perish below the Earth's surface.
