Silver Mantle
Echoes of Despair: Unveiling the Hidden Symphony in Red Veridian's 'Silver Mantle'
Lyrics
Walk up to the gate, amidst the flowers and the graves
Approaching a gate in a place with graves and flowers.
The wind it howls, yeah the flag it's torn and frayed
Describing a windy, torn, and frayed flag in the surroundings.
This town is tainted and it is longing to be saved
Expressing a desire for the town, seen as tainted, to be saved.
The gloom, it leeches into the walls and from the veins
The gloom spreading into walls and veins, indicating darkness.
Yeah, even God can see this balance is innate
Noting that even God can recognize an inherent balance.
Walk into the hall, yeah I can feel it stifling me
Sensing a stifling atmosphere upon entering a hall.
March beyond the walls of our prosperity
Marching beyond the walls of prosperity, facing challenges.
Spirits are wistful since this demon came to plague
Wistful spirits affected by a troubling presence or demon.
plague, plague, plague, plague, plague
Repetition of "plague" emphasizing the impact on unseen souls.
Plaguing the minds of the souls I can't see
The minds of souls are plagued within the surrounding plains.
Within the walls of the plains surrounding me
The solemn silence within the walls is deafening.
The solemn silence I can hear is deafening
Night echoes with haunting sounds, creating a taunting atmosphere.
Echoing through the night and taunting me
Describing the attempt to fill emptiness with sullen words.
Oh, you've got a lot of nerve tryna fill the void with sullen words
Expressing the impact of pondered pity on a symbolic silver mantle.
Your pondered pity plagues this silver mantle
Reflecting hesitation caused by silence from the East.
As silence from the East makes me hesitate
An impending fall is suggested by a vase on the left.
As the vase upon the left begins to fall
Anticipation and symbolism in the withered willow blowing.
The withered willow blows in anticipation
A shadow from afar is expected to consume everything.
The shadow from afar will consume it all
Considering the consequences of embracing flaws.
If we revel in the flaws to which you've succumb
Reference to a message from a white wizard and questioning receptiveness.
The white wizard has spoken but were you listening?
Asserting resilience and a refusal to despair or see the end.
We do not despair, we're not the ones who see the end
Highlighting the ability of the wise to foresee the inevitable end.
Even the wise can see the end beyond all doubt
The importance of deciding how to use the given time.
We must decide what to do with our given time
Warning about the treacherous, who are always distrustful.
The treacherous are ever distrustful
Reiteration of resilience and resistance to seeing the end.
We do not despair, we're not the ones who see the end
Repetition emphasizing the wise seeing the inevitable end.
Even the wise can see the end beyond all doubt
Reiteration of the importance of deciding how to use time.
We must decide what to do with our given time
Warning against the treacherous who are always distrustful.
The treacherous are ever distrustful
Repetition of the previous lines emphasizing resilience.
Oh, you've got a lot of nerve tryna fill the void with sullen words
Describing an attempt to fill emptiness with sullen words.
Your pondered pity plagues this silver mantle
Expressing the impact of pondered pity on a symbolic silver mantle.
As silence from the East makes me hesitate
Reflecting hesitation caused by silence from the East.
As the vase upon the left begins to fall
An impending fall is suggested by a vase on the left.
The withered willow bows in anticipation
Anticipation and symbolism in the withered willow blowing.
The shadow from afar will consume it all
A shadow from afar is expected to consume everything.
If we revel in the flaws to which you've succumb
Considering the consequences of embracing flaws.
The white wizard has spoken but were you listening?
Reference to a message from a white wizard and questioning receptiveness.
If we do not wake from this slumber
A warning about the consequences if not waking from a metaphorical slumber.
Before the first light of the fifth touches the east
Time-sensitive warning about potential future hardships for children.
Our children will kneel before the hammer and sickle
A dire prediction of future consequences if action is not taken.
