The Doom Of Her Power
69 Chambers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She’ll breathe her last sigh
It’s the doom of her power
A twilight alive
When her temples crumble
All the stars start to tumble
The sky will turn black
As she moves into battle
Do you still want to know why?
Do you still want to cry?
Swallow the sun
Swallow the moon
An endless winter will be her doom
It’s the axe age
The sword age, wolf age
Before everything goes down
She’ll succumb to rage
Nine steps before worlds collide
Across the divide
Nine steps for the longest time
Is it the end or a sign?
Do you still want to know why?
Do you still want to cry?
Swallow the sun
Swallow the moon
An endless winter will be her doom
Swallow the sun
Swallow the moon
No never again will her scarlet bloom
The doom of her power
Is the moment of truth
There’s nothing she can do
The doom of her power
Is the end of her youth
No words for an excuse
As earth reappears with a sunlit blue
Everything becomes new
Swallow the sun
Swallow the moon
An endless winter will be her doom
The lyrics of "The Doom Of Her Power" by 69 Chambers tells a story of the fall of a powerful individual or possibly a deity. The first two lines speak of death and surrender with 'When her Gods die/She’ll breathe her last sigh.' The following lines 'It’s the doom of her power/A twilight alive' suggest that this event is going to cause a decline or downfall of the powerful figure. The lyrics 'When her temples crumble/All the stars start to tumble' could signify the end of an era, the decline of the individual or the fall of a civilization. The following line 'The sky will turn black/As she moves into battle' suggests that their fall will be dramatic and possibly involve a battle of some kind.
The following lines 'Swallow the sun/Swallow the moon/An endless winter will be her doom' may suggest that the fall of this individual will send the world into a terrible winter of darkness, with the individual capable of swallowing the celestial bodies that govern the world. The lyrics then introduce the idea of the 'axe age' and the 'sword age' which could reference a past time, a time before the person of power and possibly the cause of their downfall. The lyrics 'Nine steps before worlds collide/Across the divide/Nine steps for the longest time/Is it the end or a sign?' could be seen as foreshadowing, a warning of an impending or inevitable event.
The lyrics of "The Doom Of Her Power" by 69 Chambers paint a vivid picture of the fall of a powerful figure. The lyrics suggest a dramatic, climactic event that will herald a new era. The song leaves much to interpretation, with various possible meanings and depths of symbolism.
