Ichor
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A new dynasty was born
Five twin pairs to be kings
Demigods are enthroned
Colourless blood
Power of the gods
They would perish and die
Mysterious fluid of the gods
When they shed their blood
Mortals die by just one touch
Their destiny will ever be bound with them all
Even if they rise or fall
Their destiny will ever be bound
To the oath they gave by their birth
Ichor, blood of gods
Dynasty of ten kingdoms
Realm of demigods
Ten kings of mighty strength
Immortal blood in their veins
Colourless blood
Power of the Gods
They would perish and die
Without the sacred sap
Mysterious fluid of the Gods
When they shed their blood
Mortals die by just one touch
Their destiny will ever be bound with them all
Even if they rise or fall
Their destiny will ever be bound to the oath
They gave by their birth
Ichor, blood of Gods
Atlas and Gadeirus
Ampheres and Evaemon
Mneseus and Autochthon
Elasippus and Mestor
Azaes and Diaprepes
Rulers of Atlantis
The above lyrics are from the song "Ichor" by Atrocity. The song is about the mythical belief that the Gods had a sacred fluid known as Ichor, which was believed to be the blood of the Gods, and could only be found in their veins. According to Greek mythology, Poseidon, the God of the sea, loved Cleito and gave birth to a dynasty of twin pairs of kings who were demigods. They were said to have Ichor or the blood of the Gods running in their veins. This divine fluid was believed to grant them power and immortality.
The song describes how Ichor is colourless and how the demigods' strength and lives are perpetually bound by its power. It also highlights the significance of Ichor in safeguarding the demigods' lives, as mortals die by touching it. Furthermore, the lyrics mention the concept of destiny being tied to the oaths the demigods made at their birth. Finally, the song notes the ten kings of Atlantis and their divine lineage, mentioning their names as Atlas and Gadeirus, Ampheres, and Evaemon, Mneseus and Autochthon, Elasippus and Mestor, and Azaes and Diaprepes.

For years I never sat a listened to this album...after Longing For Death...this album is a true testament to what a band writes from one album to the next...and this one DOES NOT fall short of any expectations from ATROCITY.
