Time Requiem
Time Requiem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Filled with shadows from a war it's everywhere
Everlasting souls from temples of this place
Still I've got no room for everyone.
I'm able to destroy my enemy
Convicting me condemning me with air
The virgin lies are here but far away
Aiming on the way to the stars...to the stars
Never left for real the soldier made of steel
Crucify is not what he attends to do
Ever fading walls my cross is in the sky
Now I've got a room for everyone.
I'm able to destroy my enemy
Convicting me condemning me with air
The virgin lies are here but far away
Aiming on the way to the stars...to the stars
Bravery heavenly are the ways you will be here
Sanctuary penalty are the grafts of destiny
In the sky asking why each disciple has to go
Gather all spirits fall.
What's the answer to the question that we have
You might find it in the stars
Pretty gone since you set my heart on fire
Save the fallen tears of love.
Confucius where are you?
It's time to go!
It's Time Requiem!
Suddenly they screamed the angles of my dream
Multitude with swords and staffs betraying me
Saying all these words that saviors turned aside
Still I've got room for everyone.
I'm able to destroy my enemy
Convicting me condemning me with air
The virgin lies are here but far away
Aiming on the way to the stars...to the stars
Have mercy, Lord on me, regard me bitter weeping
Your forgiveness has assured me
Though you Son's despair and pain.
I do not deny my guilt
But your mercy, if you will
Far exceeded me transgression
Of which I must make confession.
The song "Time Requiem" by the eponymous band is a surreal and philosophical journey that deals with weighty concepts like spirituality, war, destiny, and redemption. The lyrics are full of religious symbolism and allegory, and they require deep attention to comprehend their full meaning. The first verse talks about the holy land, which is still haunted by the ghosts of a long-forgotten war. The singer feels overwhelmed and powerless to accommodate all the souls that are seeking refuge in this land. He/she is torn between the desire to destroy the enemy and the need to forgive and find peace.
In the second verse, the singer talks about a soldier who refuses to be crucified despite the fading walls around him. He feels his cross is in the sky which is a reference to the afterlife. The singer seems to have found a solution or refuge in this sky, and now he is willing to make room for everyone. However, he is still plagued by uncertainty and questions like "What's the answer to the question that we have?" The final verse talks about being betrayed by people who were supposed to be saviors, and yet, the singer finds it in his heart to forgive them.
The song's lyrics are steeped in symbolism and metaphors, and they require careful interpretation to understand the poet's message fully. The song encourages people to look beyond their differences and find a common ground, which leads to forgiveness, hope, and redemption. Time Requiem is a band that delves into complex themes and writing, and their music is an invitation to introspection and contemplation.

Make me understand the sacred holy land
Help me comprehend the sanctity of this land
Filled with shadows from a war it's everywhere
Shadows of past battles are omnipresent
Everlasting souls from temples of this place
Spirits of the temple continue to thrive
Still I've got no room for everyone.
Yet, I am not capable of accommodating all
I'm able to destroy my enemy
I am capable of destroying my foes
Convicting me condemning me with air
The air itself feels like it is damning me
The virgin lies are here but far away
There are false truths present, beyond immediate reach
Aiming on the way to the stars...to the stars
Focused on reaching the stars
Never left for real the soldier made of steel
The metallic warrior never truly left
Crucify is not what he attends to do
Crucifixion is not his intention
Ever fading walls my cross is in the sky
The walls may crumble, but my faith is eternal
Now I've got a room for everyone.
Now, I have space to shelter everyone
Bravery heavenly are the ways you will be here
Courageous, celestial beings shall grace this place
Sanctuary penalty are the grafts of destiny
Destiny requires sacrifice for protection
In the sky asking why each disciple has to go
In the heavens, reflecting on the necessity of every follower's departure
Gather all spirits fall.
Fallen spirits, come together
What's the answer to the question that we have
What is the solution to our inquiry
You might find it in the stars
Perhaps, the answer lies among the stars
Pretty gone since you set my heart on fire
Beautiful memories of passion fade away
Save the fallen tears of love.
Preserve the tears of love shed
Confucius where are you?
Oh Confucius, where art thou
It's time to go!
It is time to venture forth
It's Time Requiem!
The end times have arrived!
Suddenly they screamed the angles of my dream
Abruptly, the angels from my dreams began to shriek
Multitude with swords and staffs betraying me
A multitude, wielding blades and staves, betrays me
Saying all these words that saviors turned aside
Voicing the same utterances turned down by saviors
Still I've got room for everyone.
Yet, I have space for all
Have mercy, Lord on me, regard me bitter weeping
Lord, have mercy on me, that I may shed sorrowful tears
Your forgiveness has assured me
Your forgiveness provides me solace
Though you Son's despair and pain.
Despite the suffering of Your Son
I do not deny my guilt
I admit to my wrongdoing
But your mercy, if you will
Nevertheless, I implore Your mercy
Far exceeded me transgression
Surpassing the bounds of my offense
Of which I must make confession.
For which I must be accountable
