Down Below
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wages of sin is death
In the still of evening night frost on the earth
Seven continents are bleeding seven seas in red
Posterity will never find rapture of peace of mind
Goddess of luck,bearer of glad buried by mankind
Down,down below there is no love at death's door
With life,life of sin we have been blessed and doomed
Loosing sensibility reaching death's domain
Fiery temper growing strong engender fiendishness
Graven image taken wrong trying to surpass
Eclipse of the moon down below phantasmagoric creation down below
Down,down below there is no love at death's door
Sun will never rise only darkness beholds the eyes
Irruption of spitefulness celebrated chaos
Deep beyond there are no rules survival of the fittest
In the still of the night world torn to shreds
Seven continents are gone seven seas are dead
Eclipse of the moon down below phantasmagoric creation down below
Down on earth!
The lyrics in the song "Down Below" by Atrocity speaks about the inevitable domination of sin and hatred in our present and future world. The artist has "seen the fall of man" and understands that the wages of sin is death. The world as we know it is coming to an end, and we are reaching death's door. The earth is bleeding, and there is no rapture of peace of mind for the future generation. The Goddess of luck who brings glad tidings was buried by mankind, and there is no love down below, symbolizing that love does not exist in the domain of the dead.
The lyrics go further to describe the end of humanity, where the nightfall of humanity together is inevitable. People are losing sensibility and reaching death's domain. Their fiery temper is growing stronger and producing fiendishness, and they are trying to surpass the graven image taken wrong. The moon is eclipsed, and phantasmagorical creation exists down below. The song ends by stating that there is no hope for the world as the sun will never rise, and only darkness beholds the eyes.
