Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I stand with my boots on
Rotten, deceerated, holy place
Raped mother land
We fought side by side
We held the banners high
Together we touched the sky
Our aim out of reach
And stood as one
Those days our spirit was one union,
Those days are gone
We fought side by side
We held the banners high
Together supposed ti die
Our aim never reached
I still hear you strong voice,
Telling me about Utopia
Yes I still can hear you,
Your spirit will be erver inside me
Does any god listen to me?
You took just the comporeality!
No one can break my melody
Listen to my threnody
I've lost nmore than a friend
(but) one day we'll meet again
I won't loose you twice
Because your spirit never dies - never/you'll return
I keep the free spirit, I carry on, I keep on fighting
I know, I snatd alone, your return: a further ending
Does any god listen to me?
You took just the corporeality!
No one can break my melody
Listen to my threnody
The opening lines, "Again I feel the dirty ground, I stand with my boots on," suggest that the singer is in a devastated place, where the ground is soiled, maybe even with the blood of the fallen. The next lines, "Rotten, decerated, holy place, Raped mother land," confirm the destruction and devastation of the place. The use of the word "holy" indicates that the place was of great significance to the singer, perhaps a sacred place or a place of memory that has been desecrated. The "mother land" could also refer to the ancestral homeland that has been violated.
The song reflects on the memories and bonds of a past struggle, a shared pain that united the fighters. Lines such as "Those days our spirit was one union" and "We fought side by side, we held the banners high" emphasize the solidarity, camaraderie and unison of the fighters. The lyrics also talk about the loss of a friend, but the singer seems to draw strength from the memory of the person and their spirit.
The song seems to be a lamentation, a threnody, for the loss and destruction that the singer has witnessed. The final lines, "Listen to my threnody" highlights that the song is also an artistic expression of the sorrow and pain.
