The Darkest Crime
Arkangel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time's over, we walk into the land of destruction.
Dead man walking in the eye of the storm,
thinking what went wrong
Perpetrator of the darkest crime,
violation of creation for a destiny held in the hands of desolation.
Destroyed by blindness,
I don't want redemption to be gained through fire.
Dead man walks over the carcass of his life
The lyrics of Arkangel's The Darkest Crime focus on the themes of consequences and remorse, as well as the destructive nature of humanity. The first line, "Poison runs through the vein of life," can be interpreted as a metaphor for the destructive tendencies ingrained within humanity. The line "Time's over, we walk into the land of destruction" suggests an impending and inevitable disaster that we are walking towards.
The second stanza focuses on a character who has committed a terrible crime, but is now contemplating the error of their ways as they walk through the storm of their own creation. The lines "Perpetrator of the darkest crime, violation of creation for a destiny held in the hands of desolation" highlight the gravity of their actions, and how it has led them to a point of no return.
The final stanza is a reflection on the consequences of our actions and the destruction we have wrought. The line "Is this how it ends, in the flames?" suggests a fear of being consumed by the very destruction we have caused. The final line "Dead man walks over the carcass of his life" is a haunting image of the aftermath of our actions and serves as a warning against the devastating consequences of our choices.
