Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We seeked for a new life
We found places to stay
We came from Aztlan
A land far away over the ocean
Will we ever see our native country
We are the survivors
Keeping the heritage
The fruits of sins
The wisdom of the kings
Hear our calling
Aeon
Longing for a new home
We found landscapes to stay
We came from Atlantion
An island far away
Bringing mystic culture
All around the globe
People from the old world
Escaping the flood
We are the survivors
Keeping the heritage
The fruits of sins
The wisdom of the kings
Forever calling
Aeon
We built up a world of wonder
We built it stone by stone
It will remain forever
Ever if we are gone
Aeon
Hear our call
Aeon
We are the survivors
Keeping the heritage
The fruits of sins
The wisdom of the kings
Hear our calling
Forever calling
Atrocity's song Aeon talks about a group of people searching for a new home after they were forced to leave their native countries, Aztlan and Atlantion. These lands were far away across the ocean, and the people longed to return. However, they had to learn to survive and adapt to new places that they found, bringing their cultural heritage with them. They are the survivors, keeping their culture and traditions alive, even though they had to leave their homeland behind.
The song also touches on the idea of the wisdom of the kings, and the fruits of sins, which could mean that the people who survived and thrived were able to learn from the mistakes of their ancestors, and build a new society based on the lessons they had learned. Additionally, the chorus, "Hear our calling, Aeon," seems to be a plea to remember these people, their culture, and their struggles.
