Necromancer
Wildpath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
/Cause his wife has been taken by the plague
of the devil who darkened his holy soul
Return for the way to save her
Gaining power by the corpses he wakes
Blood is flowing while hope is growing
Reason and faith fade away
He lives his nights like his days
Graveyards are quickly empty
But the undead are ugly
Might of a God, for playing with Death
Curse of doom love, is such a madness
There's always some hope, Lord, send me a sign
Her soul may be lost, but love never dies
Flesh, bones and movement but no trace of soul
He could have managed to rule all the world
Love blinds his mind, he wants her by his side
Now's the time to try to reopen her eyes
There's always some hope, Lord, send me a sign
Her soul may be lost, but love never dies
Trading a life, some useful sacrifice
Trusting the fire can turn hope in ice
From every crypt, every tomb, quakes this dark fury
The gate of shadows are now opened
All the undead running towards their master
This hopeless and now disarmed necromancer
Fleeing can save everything but all seems to be lost
He runs, he's lost, forever
Suddenly he feels in his veins the power of life
His will is not bad, the sky not spiteful
All the undead running towards their Father
This reborned mind, brightened by angela's glance
Feelings can save everything, even when there's no hope
He wins, he loves, forever
The song "Necromancer" by Wildpath tells the story of a man who has lost his wife to the plague and resorts to using dark magic to try to bring her back to life. The madness in his head and the rage in his heart are fueled by his love for her, but the devil has already darkened his soul. He seeks a way to save her and begins to gain power by awakening corpses. As he continues his quest, reason and faith fade away and he lives his nights and days in a graveyard, causing the undead to rise. Though he manages to bring back his wife's body, there is no trace of her soul, and his love blinds him from realizing the implications of what he has done.
As the necromancer struggles with the consequences of his actions, he prays for a sign of hope, knowing that his wife's soul may be lost but that love never truly dies. In a moment of self-sacrifice, he trades his own life to reopen his wife's eyes, but it is too late for her. The gates of shadows open, and all the undead run towards their master. Fleeing can save everything, but the necromancer loses everything, forever. However, everything changes when he feels the power of life coursing through his veins and is brightened by Angela's glance. This reborned mind now understands that feelings can save everything, even when there's no hope. In the end, he wins, he loves, and he lives forever.
