Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see stoned circles built up by strong men
Can you imaging the 8th continent buried in the deep sea down below
Can you see the mighty kingdom of old times
And the holy mountain rising up to the sky
For millenniums we've been seeking for the truth
Where it was where we're from to where have all the things gone
Only time can tell
Enigma
Words from different places meaning all the same
World's source of wisdom an "island without name"
Language and religion from the same origin lying in the deep sea down below
Pillars of Herakles a gate to another world
Birds and eels still searching for their place of birth
For millenniums a mysterious unknown land
Enigma like a secret kept inside Enigma turning darkness into light
Where it was where we're from to where have all the things gone
Only time can tell
Enigma like a secret kept inside Enigma turning darkness into light
Where it was where we're from to where have all the things gone
Only time can tell
Carved in marble pillars in the ancient Egypt
Legends in cryptic letters by Mayas and the Aztecs
For millenniums cultures give it different names
The lyrics of Atrocity's song "Enigma" are about the mystery and wonder of ancient civilizations and lost knowledge. The lyrics evoke images of golden roofs and stoned circles built by strong men, but also of an eighth continent buried in the deep sea down below. The song ponders the existence of mighty kingdoms of old times and holy mountains rising up to the sky, and questions how much we truly know about our ancient past. The mysterious Enigma is described as a secret kept inside, turning darkness into light, and only time can tell where we have come from and where all things have gone.
The lyrics also touch on the idea that there is a common origin for language and religion, lying in the deep sea down below. The Pillars of Herakles are referenced as a gateway to another world and birds and eels are still searching for their place of birth. The song speaks to the fascination with ancient knowledge and cultures, which have given it different names over the course of millenniums.

I want "Willenskraft" time back
Egor Tilpunov
They are back. Check their latest album. Search Shadowtaker or Bloodshed And Triumph. Sounds like Atrocity's death metal from 90s (maybe more mature), and not like gothic metal shit they were playing, when Krull was was Liv Kristine.
