Lyrics
Like the shadow from Mordor, creeping slowly forward,
Comparing a looming threat to the shadow from Mordor, suggesting a gradual and ominous advance.
Unleashed from it's sanctuary by the devil in man,
The threat is unleashed by the malevolent side of humanity, breaking free from its confinement.
The world thrown into torm
The world is in turmoil.
Ent by their uncarping greed,
Affected by insatiable greed, possibly causing destruction.
We stare into the face of death screaming to be freed.
Facing imminent death, seeking liberation from the impending danger.
Their control is complete, we the voiceless have none,
The powerful have complete control, suppressing the voiceless.
Beaten into defeat by the arm of the strong,
Defeated by the strong, suggesting oppression and subjugation.
Now the shadow gets darker for they've stolen the sun,
The situation becomes darker as they take away hope (symbolized by the stolen sun).
And the sale of our earth has already begun.
The Earth is being sold off, possibly referring to environmental degradation for profit.
Like Durins bane, rising of from the deep,
Reference to Durin's bane, indicating a rising evil.
There is evil at work while the people do sleep,
Evil persists while people remain unaware or indifferent.
As they plunder the earth, still we sit back and watch,
Despite the plunder, society remains passive and observes.
Their wrath consumes all that would stand in their path.
Destructive actions of the powerful consume anything in their path.
G: AT DEATH DOOR
Phrase possibly indicating a critical situation, "at death door."
The new day is dawning they start counting the dead,
A new day begins, marked by the counting of casualties.
The hard swollen bellies of the children not fed,
Children suffer from hunger amid ongoing atrocities.
Their land dry and parched still they pray for the rain,
Despite harsh conditions, there's still hope and prayer for positive change.
The massacre continuous yet again and again.
Continuous massacres without remorse.
Year after year the lands ring deaths bell,
Repeated cycles of death and suffering in the lands.
The children's blind eyes have a sad tale to tell,
Children bear the scars of the tragedies with no hope.
Their limbs bent and twisted, their kinds hold no spark,
Desperation and suffering evident in the children's physical condition.
They're crying in vain for no light breaks the dark.
Hopelessness prevails as they cry in vain for light.
The land holds the hammer but mankind deals the blow,
The land suffers, but it is humanity causing the damage.
Economics and pro
Reference to prioritizing economics over compassion in decision-making.
Fit before compassion we show,
The wealthy benefit while compassion takes a back seat.
Our excesses waste as the wealthy grow fat,
Excessive consumption contributes to the prosperity of the wealthy.
Rather than give to the needy they'll let the food rot.
Prioritizing wealth over helping the needy, leading to wastefulness.
At death door they stand, only suffering they know.
People are at the brink of death, experiencing only suffering.
