Nova Mortis
Dance with Shadows: Embracing Evolution in 'Nova Mortis'
Lyrics
You can run and hide
You may try to escape.
But you can't escape
Escaping from my presence is impossible.
My presence
I will forcibly reveal a different reality to you.
I'll pull the eyes from your head
Metaphorically, I will expose hidden truths to you.
And show you beyond this scape
I'll reveal something beyond what's familiar.
They all lied to you anyway
The world has deceived you.
Submit yourself
Give in to my authority or control.
Fragda
Possibly an expression or exclamation.
You let it drip from your mouth
You speak about it openly.
Pour out your spine
Express your deepest emotions.
And stir in your heart
Let emotions mix and influence you deeply.
Lest we dry in this wake
Or else we will be left to wither.
You can deny our game
You might refuse to acknowledge our interaction.
But it's a dance you must face
But it's an inevitable confrontation you can't avoid.
No one leaves, no one lives
There's no escape or survival.
You can run and hide
Similar to line 1, reiterating the inability to escape.
But you can't escape
Restates the inability to escape from my presence.
My presence
Reiterates my forceful revelation of truth.
I'll pull the eyes from your head
Symbolic removal of your perception to expose the unknown.
And show you beyond this scape
Similar to line 5, revealing what's beyond the ordinary.
They all lied to you anyway
Repeated idea that the world has deceived you.
Submit
Give in to me.
Hurry
An urging command to act quickly.
Hurry before the moon hangs low
Act before it's too late or a critical moment arrives.
We must have eyes on the inside
We need internal understanding or insight.
We fear the old blood
We're afraid of ancient knowledge or heritage.
Yet we embrace
Despite fear, we embrace this knowledge.
To see the bigger picture
We seek a comprehensive understanding of the situation.
We will all have eyes
All of us will gain insight or understanding.
We will all see before us
We will all perceive or comprehend the truth.
My form is to evolve
I am changing my form to progress.
I've begun to reject my humanity
I'm rejecting my human nature or limitations.
It's all a means
Everything is a method or process.
To an end
It's all leading towards an ultimate outcome.
Ascend beyond here
Rise above this current state.
To evolve and reside
To develop and settle beyond this existence.
Over this plane
To dominate this dimension or realm.
Fragda
Expression or exclamation, similar to line 8.
You let it drip from your mouth
Similar to line 9, expressing openly.
Pour out your spine
Similar to line 10, expressing deep emotions.
And stir in your heart
Similar to line 11, letting emotions profoundly affect you.
Lest we dry in this wake
Similar to line 12, or else we'll deteriorate.
You can deny our game
You may refuse our interaction, but it's unavoidable.
But it's a dance you must face
Reiterating the inevitable confrontation.
No one leaves, no one lives
No escape or survival is possible.
No one leaves, no one lives
Repeated idea of no escape or survival.
No one leaves, no one lives
Repeated emphasis on the impossibility of escape or survival.
