Exile
5 - Unholy Ally Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

LED INTO THE WILDERNESS BY AN UNSEEN HAND. LURED INTO OBSCURITY BY THE SIREN SONG.
AFTER THE OLD HAS DIED, PEACEFUL MEADOWS REST ASIDE. UNDER A CANOPY OF PINE,
IN THE MIRES SO DIVINE, TREASURE IS BURIED BY THE BLIND.
DEEP INTO THE KINGDOM OF STONE. TO FIND THE TREASURE, TO FIND THE TREASURE OF BONES.
DEEP INTO THE KINGDOM OF STONE, TO FIND THE TREASURE. OCEANIC VASTNESS IN YOUR EYES LED INTO THE DARKNESS BY UNSEEN HANDS. LURED INTO OBSCURITY BY THE SIREN SONG. AFTER THE OLD HAVE PASSED PEACEFUL MEADOWS GROWS. BY UNSEEN HANDS.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for Unholy Ally's song Exile seem to revolve around the theme of being led and lured into the unknown by an unseen hand, and the journey that follows. The first two lines of the verse suggest being led into the wilderness and the darkness by an unseen force which could be a reference to being taken into the unknown or unfamiliar by fate or destiny. The Siren song mentioned in the next line may be a metaphor for the allure of the unknown and the temptation it poses.

The next two lines suggest a peaceful interlude following the passage of some old - this could be interpreted as a representation of the cleansing or renewal of something, with a new beginning brought about by something old or outdated passing. The imagery of an idyllic meadow under the pine canopy suggests a utopian ideal. The following two lines allude to the presence of treasure in these idyllic surroundings, suggesting the potential for something valuable to be found in unknown territory. The final lines repeat the earlier reference to being led into the unknown by an invisible hand.
