The Devil In Our Wake
Awakening from the Ashes: Unveiling the Deep Layers of 'The Devil In Our Wake'
Lyrics
Say goodbye to your home before it's gone
Saying farewell to one's home before it is destroyed or lost.
Ain't no way I'll survive in this one
Expressing doubt about surviving in the current situation.
Here it comes, here it comes, the mistakes of history
Anticipating the repetition of historical mistakes.
Well
A transition or pause in the narrative.
All for the sake of a foreign glory
Acting for the pursuit of foreign glory, regardless of consequences.
It's the season for treason and revolution
Referring to a time of betrayal and upheaval.
We just left the devil in our wake, wake
Leaving behind the negative consequences of past actions, possibly with regret.
After there's nothing left to say, say
Acknowledging that words are insufficient after the damage is done.
We left the devil in our wake
Reiterating the act of moving forward, leaving behind the metaphorical devil.
Now that the boots are gone your war has just begun
With the departure of soldiers ("boots"), a new phase of conflict begins.
What flag do you raise under this sun?
Pondering the choice of allegiance or identity in a war-torn environment.
Gather what's left of your friends and family
Encouraging the preservation of connections in the face of adversity.
And try to find some shade beneath these burning trees
Seeking refuge under the harsh conditions caused by conflict.
It's the season for treason and revolution
Reiterating the theme of betrayal and rebellion in the historical context.
We left the devil in our wake, wake
Emphasizing the aftermath of leaving behind negative influences.
After there's nothing left to take, take
Highlighting the consequences when there is nothing more to acquire or lose.
This devastation is from crushing under
Suggesting that devastation arises from being crushed underneath an oppressive force.
Unholy thunder is your fate, fate
Connecting the destruction to an ominous force ("unholy thunder").
We left the devil in our wake
Reaffirming the act of moving forward, having abandoned negative influences.
From left to right none speak truth
Observing a lack of truthfulness in various perspectives.
There's a blodd red hand and it's choking you
Describing a threatening situation with a powerful, oppressive force ("blood red hand").
Sin is born on the face of men
Expressing the idea that sin originates from the actions of humanity.
By endless black deeds
Attributing sin to continuous and dark deeds.
We left the devil in our wake, wake
Repeating the notion of leaving behind negative influences and consequences.
After there's nothing left to take, take
Emphasizing the aftermath when there is nothing more to acquire or lose.
This devastation is from crushing under
Connecting devastation to being crushed under an oppressive force.
Unholy thunder is your fate, fate
Linking destruction to a foreboding force ("unholy thunder").
We left the devil in our wake
Reiterating the act of moving forward, having abandoned negative influences.
