Sovereign Blood
Arcane Existence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lavish double doors open wide
Masked guests arrive, ready to hide
Extravagant cloth caressing the marble
As we await the final arrival
Awaiting the fall of the elegant
Grand pillars, opulent etchings of those before us
Dancing upon their graves like they were never here before
Drink, drink the wine
Dance, dance until you die
Blood, blood drip from the walls
Die, die for our tyrant
Drink, drink the wine
Dance, dance until you die
Blood, blood drip from the walls
Die, die for our tyrant
Let the ritual begin
Offering ourselves to her
No
No she needs more
We cannot go back
The ritual has begun
Offering ourselves to her
We have fulfilled her desires
There is no going back
Let the ritual begin

The masquerade is calling for you
There is no going back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Arcane Existence's song "Sovereign Blood" paint a picture of a grandiose and lavish event held in honor of a tyrant ruler, who demands the complete submission of their subjects through the offering of their own lives. The tone of the song is haunting and ominous, with the imagery of masked guests arriving to hide in plain sight behind the extravagant cloth draped over marble, evoking a sense of deception and deceit. As they await the arrival of the tyrant, the guests dance upon the graves of those before them, drinking wine and embracing the decadence of their tragedy.


The lyrics progress to reveal the true nature of the event - a sacrifice to a higher power, the monstrous "her" who demands the lifeblood of her subjects to satiate her insatiable desire for power. The guests are trapped in a cycle of submission, fulfilling her desires until there is no going back. The final lines of the song are hauntingly foreboding, as the masquerade is calling for the listener, and there is no going back from the tyranny and sacrifice demanded by the sovereign.
