Deliverance
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
frozen minded out of the ashes
See my face in the dust
manic structures, human madness
Apocalyptic trance
Endless night begins
Darkened landscape, left behind
Saturated with blood
all life is lost - in misery
Upon the earth - storm rages on
Into nothingness - crimson rain covers the earth
Impure mankind - perished in pain but still raising the dead
wasted genius and wasted land
How great was your gain?
The answer is: self-importance
Never ask for forgiveness
all life is lost - in misery
No one cares - when the reaper laughts:
"into my world - I guide your life to eternity
Sorrow and sadness - pain is the law
And love is the crime"
deliverance!
depth of terror, depth of horror
Lost edeen pays its' price
Perveyor of distress, from the abyss
Thy willl be done!
Impure mankind - the lost chapter is over now!
Into nothingness - nothing is gained, nothing is earned!
deliverance!
"come to my world!"
Deliverance! ...from mankind!
the battle of the masses
Rages day and night
Earth reduced to ashes
The fire that burned the eyes
"and I was a new heaven,
I saw a new earth"
This place won't be given
For a second impure birth
deliverance!
"come to my world"
Deliverance! ...from mankind!
[lead: T. Bauer]
The song "Deliverance" by Atrocity presents a dystopian future where humanity has brought about its destruction. The lyrics suggest a war-torn world, where the battle rages on every day and night, with an endless darkness that envelops the land. The opening lines, "frozen minded out of the ashes / See my face in the dust," paint a bleak picture of a world devoid of hope, where the remnants of humanity are reduced to dust.
The song also introduces the concept of self-importance, which in the end, is worthless. The line "The answer is: self-importance / Never ask for forgiveness" suggests that our pride and arrogance can lead us to our own demise. The song suggests that the human race has brought about its destruction, that "all life is lost - in misery / Upon the earth - storm rages on / Into nothingness - crimson rain covers the earth / Impure mankind - perished in pain but still raising the dead."
The song's chorus calls for deliverance, but it is unclear who or what will deliver us. The final lines "Deliverance! ...from mankind!" suggest that the only hope for salvation is to be delivered from humanity itself. The song's tone is one of despair and hopelessness, with a clear message that without a drastic change in our ways, the end is inevitable.
