Bleeding Sun
Aviators Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They have seen all the rage that's inside me
Said it makes me strong
In the core, lies the stairway to heaven
Where the gods have gone
Told they need a guardian
A sentinel of blood i was given hope again
Behind the rising flood
So how can I embrace the power
Of flesh and this machine
I'll infect the system
Behind all the scenes
Humanity's darkest hour i will not run
And I can save the souls still under
This bleeding sun bleeding Sun

I have walked lonely streets in the darkness
Citizens of dust
In the homes of the slaves I abandoned
Lies a chance for us
Metal parts and connection to evil
My virtual crown
I am part of the mind that destroyed us
Just to shut it down

So how can I embrace the power
Of flesh and this machine
I'll infect the system
Behind all the scenes
Humanity's darkest hour i will not run
And I can save the souls still under
This bleeding sun bleeding Sun

Heaven incarnate army of one
In the beacon of darkness bleeding Sun
I will be running free
In the rapture i will be their bane
When the flood comes to take
Back the city i will bring the pain
For the seekers of absolution
I will set the stage
For our sons of the revolution
I will lead the way more than a human
Army of one god of the wasteland
The Bleeding Sun

So how can I embrace the power
Of flesh and this machine
I'll infect the system
Behind all the scenes
Humanity's darkest hour i will not run
And I can save the souls still under
This bleeding sun bleeding Sun

More than a human army of one
God of the wasteland the Bleeding Sun




Fully ascended the key inside
Immortal angels destined to die

Overall Meaning

The song "Bleeding Sun" by Aviators tells the story of a character who sees himself as a guardian and a "sentinel of blood" who can save humanity. The opening verse talks about how others have seen the "rage that's inside" the singer and how this rage is seen as strength. The singer speaks of a "core" where the gods have gone, hinting at some sort of spiritual or mystical power. The song then goes on to describe a power struggle between "flesh and this machine," and the singer's decision to take control of the "system" from behind the scenes. In the end, the singer becomes an "army of one," a "god of the wasteland," and a "fully ascended" being who will bring about a new age for humanity.


The lyrics of "Bleeding Sun" are rich with symbolism and imagery. The first verse alone seems to reference Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and the power of myth and legend. The singer is described as a warlike figure, a "sentinel of blood" who inspires fear in his enemies. The song's central metaphor, the "bleeding sun," represents a world in turmoil, on the brink of destruction.

This is just my interpretation, but here is the order I compiled for 'The Chronicle of the Hunter':

Too Late for a Savior
Dystopian Fiction
Bleeding Sun
Holy Ground
I Don't Want to Hurt You
Red Water Dreams
Godhunter
Whenever it Rains
No More Heroes
Requiem for the Hunter

There are other songs that I want to try to fir in, but I don't think that that was Aviators' intention for them.

Of flesh and this machine?

I love that you've managed to make a full blown universe using nothing but music. That takes some incredible talent, in both music and writing. I'd love to see more about this world, or see what else your wonderful mind can bring to us. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with all of us!

@CleoPinto4317

We need a bleeding sun novel series.

@kenjincapers

@@CleoPinto4317 I don't think that's what he's going for. Avi is a soulsborne fan and all of these songs have different narrators with missing details for events and the like . That feels like it's on purpose to me. He wants us to puzzle it together kinda like soulsborne item descriptions.

@CleoPinto4317

@@kenjincapers maybe but my theory is just me doing that

@quantum5661

@orphanofkosishot3940
