Preface
Akphaezya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The strangulation of the akphaezyan forests and seas.
Human deserts, the greatest of the 14 kingdoms, became, with the new queen's face, a curse for its people.
Its armies, conquering the last woods in the north east, spread a burning dead sand on elves and centaurus phantom civilisations.
It was as if Shyrya's ambition had grown with the last cycles of the twin suns...
For years, the confraternity of the crimson-eyed priests had been hearing the same poem...
A poem cried by some dead souls in the hand of life!
Tyro, incarnation of Natural divinities,
Since each tear is a fallen tree
In the abyss of the golden sea.
What followed came with its hopes, its pains...
Some lessons for a lot of mysteries, but remember...
Akphaezya has never cried a secret to those who smile with no respect.
The lyrics to Akphaezya's song Preface depict a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world that has been devastated and ravaged by humans. The 13th century is characterized as a time of birth in strangulation, where the Akphaezyan forests and seas have been strangled by human greed and destruction. The greatest kingdom of the 14 is cursed by the new queen's face, and its armies continue to conquer and destroy the last remaining forests and civilizations of elves and centauri.
The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world on the brink of collapse, where the ambitions of the Queen have grown with the cycles of the twin suns. The confraternity of the crimson-eyed priests hears a poem cried by some dead souls in the hand of life, and the singer Tyro embodies the sadness and grief for lands in agony. Each tear that falls is like a fallen tree in the abyss of the golden sea, highlighting the destruction caused by human actions.
The final lines caution the listener to remember that Akphaezya has never cried a secret to those who smile with no respect. This can be interpreted as a warning against the dangers of complacency and apathy towards the destruction of our environment and the world around us, and a call to action to prevent such a bleak future from becoming a reality.
