Seal of Secrecy
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a deep grey nursery
Creche a poor and dirty cage
Dreams of wonderland
Will never come true in this world
born into this misery
Cowering on the dirty floor
Bed-ridden, beaten - every day
...under the seal of secrecy
eyes full of pain
Belonging to the weaker sex
Staring into space
So many years of hopelessness
in prison without any guilt
The children of no home and love
And they sing:
Nursery rhymes out of their mind
Without sense - sad cries for help
...under the seal of secrecy
growing into apathy
Enduring every use of force
Body like a numb limb
Without ache - but soul is still alive
...under the seal of secrecy
[lead: T. Bauer]
The lyrics of Atrocity's song "Seal of Secrecy" paint a dark and haunting picture of a deep grey nursery, a poor and dirty cage where children are born into misery and never know any reason why. The dreams of wonderland that they once had are shattered by the harsh reality of their lives. They cower on the dirty floor, bed-ridden and beaten every day, under a seal of secrecy that makes it impossible for anyone to know their pain.
The children in this nursery are the weaker sex with eyes full of pain, staring into space after so many years of hopelessness. They are in prison without any guilt, without a home or love. They sing nursery rhymes out of their mind, without sense, as sad cries for help.
As they grow into apathy, they endure every use of force, their bodies like numb limbs without an ache. But their soul is still alive, still suffering under the seal of secrecy that surrounds them. The lyrics of the song are a poignant commentary on the mistreatment and exploitation of children, often hidden from the world under a shroud of secrecy.
