Millenium
Brand of Sacrifice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The fog bears the inhuman, as it fills corpse laden streets
The residents of this city will inevitably join the deceased

Sheltered in this household of hypocrisy to regenerate
Darkness centralized, haunting every dream
Causing uncertainty and savagery on a whim
Reason lost, the beast tempts from within
I will refuse it's chains, I will refuse it's restraints
I will rely on the sword, cutting through all the reprobate
Rely on the sword, cut through the reprobate

The people of the seat misguided by who they call holy
Dismissing exigent warnings, traversing mutants release
Pillage, molestation, plunder of the guiltless
(Plunder of the guiltless)

I'll carve out the corrupt
Watch the bodies fall, retain legitimate souls

(Establish)
Establish a barrier
(This barrier)
Watch the storms ahead
To control the swarms and regain control of this war





As long as we bear the brand, our anger, our sadness, our pain, and fear belong to them

Overall Meaning

The song "Millennium" by Brand of Sacrifice features lyrics that explore the darkness that has taken over a city, where its residents have become nothing but corpses on the streets. It talks about the hypocrisy of those who take shelter in their homes and regenerate, while darkness rules over the city and haunts everyone's dreams. The darkness causes uncertainty and savagery, as it tempts the beast within every individual, causing them to lose reason and fitness of mind.


However, the singer in the song refuses to comply with the chains and restraints of the darkness, preferring to rely on the sword and cut through all the reprobate. He talks about how the people in the city are misguided by those they call holy, ignoring warnings and releasing mutants into the city, causing pillage, molestation, and plunder of the innocent. The singer promises to carve out the corrupt, watching as the bodies fall and legitimate souls are retained.


The song ends with a call to establish a barrier, to watch the storms ahead and regain control of the war. As long as they bear the brand, their emotions and fear belong to them.
