Earth
Ador Dorath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When wells opened their arms
And water flooded the world
Firmament trembled
And she was waiting
For the right time to come
You have inherited ties
You will come down to her
There is lust circulating in your veins
Embrace her
She is the Earth
Death is seed for her
MIHI MORI LUCRUM
The lyrics to Ador Dorath's song Earth are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to reference the cyclical nature of life and death on Earth. The first few lines suggest that Earth has given birth to humanity and has hidden her children from herself, possibly implying that humans are a destructive force on the planet. The lines "When wells opened their arms/And water flooded the world/Firmament trembled" could refer to a flood or a natural disaster that changed the Earth's landscape.
The next stanza seems to suggest that humanity is destined to return to the Earth in death, as the sky turns red with blood and "You will come down to her." The Earth is personified as a powerful force that inspires desire in humans ("There is lust circulating in your veins"), and the singer suggests that embracing the Earth in death is the ultimate fulfillment of that desire. The line "Death is seed for her" implies that death is necessary for new life to grow, and that even in death, humans contribute to the natural cycle of the Earth.
Overall, the lyrics to Earth are enigmatic and open to multiple interpretations, but they seem to suggest a deep respect for the power of the natural world and a belief in the cyclical nature of life and death.
