Transmutation
Arcane Existence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am the only one
No one can take my throne
For there is no one left
To take this Cathedra
The chamber, filled with their blood
Exquisite, untarnished by the land
Their sacrifice, my sustenanceAnd no one left to oppose me
The gates clamoring, is whomever aspires to take my place
Their mortality can't threaten my eternal existence
For those dreadful ones are nothing more than worthless beings to consume
This thunder I can stop
For I have the quintessence I demand
Whomever you may be, you shall be no more
Bend your knee
The chamber, filled with their blood
Exquisite, untarnished by the land
Their sacrifice, my sustenance
And no one left to oppose me
I will settle this hostility
This is the last moon you will gaze upon
Bellows behind me
This curse will live on
Irrational thinking,
Naïve disciples
Decrepit illusions,
The scroll of augury
Eons of design have led us to this
A new ruler will be hailed
A new ideology forged
Novum princeps
Novus ordo
Novus imperium
A new ruler
Kneel before your queen
A new order
Kneel before your queen
A new empire
Bend thy knee
A past in ruin
Bend Thy...
The lyrics of Arcane Existence's song "Transmutation" depict a powerful and dominant figure asserting their unchallenged authority. The singer declares that no one can surpass them or take their throne, as there is no one left worthy of such a position. The chamber is described as being filled with the blood of those who have sacrificed themselves to sustain the singer's power. There is a sense of superiority and immortality, as the singer dismisses any potential threats to their eternal existence.
The gates are mentioned as clamoring with those who aspire to take the singer's place, but they are deemed insignificant and mere beings to be consumed. The singer possesses the quintessence they demand, which allows them to stop any opposition. The hostility mentioned will be settled, and it is stated that this will be the last moon witnessed by the defeated. There is a sense of a curse that will continue, and the lyrics mention irrational thinking and naïve disciples. The scroll of augury symbolizes the ancient wisdom or knowledge that has guided the singer towards this point.
The song then shifts to talk about the culmination of eons of design, where a new ruler will be hailed, a new ideology forged, and a new empire established. The listener is called to kneel before this new ruler, emphasizing their authority and power. The repetition of the phrase "Bend thy knee" reinforces the dominance and submission of the subjects.
Overall, "Transmutation" showcases the theme of power, dominance, and the establishment of a new order under the reign of an unchallenged ruler.

No one can proceed me
I am unrivaled and unmatched by anyone
I am the only one
There is no other like me
No one can take my throne
No one has the power to usurp me
For there is no one left
There are no others remaining
To take this Cathedra
To claim this seat of power
The chamber, filled with their blood
The room brimming with their sacrifice
Exquisite, untarnished by the land
Beautiful and untouched by earthly corruption
Their sacrifice, my sustenance
Their offerings nourish me
And no one left to oppose me
There is no longer anyone to challenge me
The gates clamoring, is whomever aspires to take my place
Those who seek to replace me are met with resistance
Their mortality can't threaten my eternal existence
Their limited lives cannot endanger my immortal being
For those dreadful ones are nothing more than worthless beings to consume
They are mere expendable creatures for me to devour
This thunder I can stop
I have the power to halt this destructive force
For I have the quintessence I demand
I possess the essential ingredient I require
Whomever you may be, you shall be no more
Whoever you are, you will cease to exist
Bend your knee
Submit and show your subservience
I will settle this hostility
I will bring an end to this conflict
This is the last moon you will gaze upon
You will never see another moon again
Bellows behind me
Echoes of my anger and power reverberate
This curse will live on
The curse will persist indefinitely
Irrational thinking
Illogical thoughts
Naïve disciples
Inexperienced followers
Decrepit illusions
Deteriorating falsehoods
The scroll of augury
The ancient prophecy
Eons of design have led us to this
Countless ages of planning have brought us to this point
A new ruler will be hailed
A fresh leader will be celebrated
A new ideology forged
A novel belief system is created
Novum princeps
The new ruler
Novus ordo
A new order
Novus imperium
A new empire
Ruunt praeteritum
The past crumbles away
A new ruler
A different sovereign
Kneel before your queen
Submit to your ruler
A new order
A fresh arrangement
Kneel before your queen
Bow down to your ruler
A new empire
An unestablished dominion
Bend thy knee
Fold your knee in obeisance
A past in ruin
The past lies in ruins
Bend Thy...

This is quite literally everything I look for in a band.
Trombone, good grooves, neat instruments, it's got it all!
@voidtv8401
This feels like hard rock, folk, and big band had a twisted, mystical, beautiful baby full of raw, gritty brawn.
@AlfOfAllTrades
This should have been the soundtrack for James Bond - Spectre.
@drakkondarkspell
I'm getting Cyberpunk, Cowboy Bebop, and Mission Impossible flavors off this all at the same time.
@NefariousSpineLizard
