False Prophet
Rising from Ashes: Unmasking the Deception in ShadowFall's 'False Prophet'
Lyrics
Black is the night, red is the sea
Black symbolizes darkness, red symbolizes danger or turmoil; the night is ominous, and the sea represents vast troubles.
With eyes wide open I am forced to see
The speaker, with open eyes, is compelled to face a harsh reality or truth.
You claim to spread truth, you spread the disease
The accused person claims to be spreading truth, but the speaker perceives their influence as a destructive force.
Rise us from our ashes and we're bound to our knees
A call for a leader or force to lift the people from their downfall, but the outcome is subservience and weakness.
The masses gathering, they won't believe
The crowd is gathering, but they remain skeptical and resistant to the message.
In the foresights, which you claim to see
Skepticism about the leader's claimed foresight or ability to predict the future.
False prophet, you spread your lies, your lies
The accused person is labeled a "False prophet" who spreads deceitful information.
The men they panic, oh the children they cry
Panic among men and distress among children, emphasizing the negative impact of the false prophet's actions.
Words so dull and meaningless
The words of the false prophet are criticized as lacking depth and significance.
You don't deserve to speak
The false prophet is deemed unworthy to express their thoughts or opinions.
Preach upon those deaf ears
Preaching to those who refuse to hear, highlighting a lack of receptivity to the false prophet's message.
Who attempt at listening
An acknowledgment that some may attempt to listen but are met with challenges in understanding.
This havoc that you'll wreak
Anticipation of the havoc the false prophet will cause.
The chaos that in which we'll bring
The chaos that will be brought about as a consequence of the false prophet's influence.
Oh can't you see
A plea for the false prophet to recognize the impending fight for humanity.
We'll fight for humanity
A declaration that there will be a collective struggle for the preservation of humanity.
And now in darkness will come light
An expectation that light will emerge from the darkness, suggesting hope after a challenging period.
Your war on mankind finds no spite
The false prophet's war against humanity is portrayed as lacking malice or hatred.
You watch me explode, you watch me ignite
The false prophet is urged to witness the explosive and igniting consequences of their actions.
False prophet won't spread no lies, no lies
An assertion that the false prophet will no longer spread lies.
