Amiensus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To those who seek the meaning of the Word,
The will to break a system,
A need for those who can create,
Words are what make us,
Are what we create, language is dimensional,
In the midst of chaos showing
This love is ever flowing
But words cannot decay, cannot decay
The universe is an extortionist
Forever slowly bleeding us dry
And the will to thrive is denied
By contextual divides
Separation of word and void.
A structured cluster of pre-conceived ideas, schemas, Schema
Can Create.
Words may transform into cosmic entities
Structured by the will of man to design infinity
Separate, word and void become one with the aethyr
Bring together dark and light and incarnate all that we fear
The lyrics of Amiensus's song Morgawr delve into the power of language and how it can be a means of creation and transformation. The first lines, "Bring forth the time that remains, to those who seek the meaning of the Word," suggest an urgency in understanding the power of language. The lyrics speak of the will to break a system and create something new, and how words are the building blocks of our reality. The line "Monuments can be turned to ruins, but words cannot decay," underscores this message; words can create something that transcends physical structures and endures through time.
The lyrics go on to examine the idea that the universe is an "extortionist," taking from us slowly over time. The will to thrive is denied by "contextual divides" and "pre-conceived ideas," which create a separation between word and void. However, the song suggests that language can bridge this gap and bring together polar opposites: "Bring together dark and light and incarnate all that we fear." Ultimately, the power of words lies in their ability to transform into "cosmic entities" that can shape our reality and our understanding of the universe.
