Gaia
Children of Gaia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vidas Inocentes Entregues à Servidão
Manipuladas por almas sanguinárias
Fazem da vida o ciclo da morte
Nuvens Negras dspejam ódio sobre a Terra
Flores derramam pétalas ressecadas
O sangue brota, oceanos definham
De olhos abertos
O egocentrismo perpetua entre nós

Foi quebrada
Segue agora o caminho da destruição
Foi quebrada a corrente da vida
O Império do mal lança suas garras contra nós
Criação contra o criador
Surge o momento da revanche
A Esperança une nossas mãos
Pérfidos plocramarão piedade a GAIA

GAIA
Traída por seus próprios Filhos!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Children of Gaia's song Gaia describe the devastation caused by human actions on the Earth, personified as the goddess Gaia. The opening lines describe the innocent lives sacrificed to servitude, manipulated by bloodthirsty souls who turn life into a cycle of death. This imagery is followed by the portrayal of black clouds unleashing hatred upon the Earth, with flowers shedding withered petals and oceans drying up as blood flows freely. The lyrics suggest that in our egocentricity, we perpetuate the cycle of destruction. The chain of life is broken and the path to destruction is followed, as the empire of evil stretches out its claws against humanity. The creator is pitted against creation, and the moment of revenge arrives, as hope unites our hands against the deceptive pleas for mercy from Gaia's betrayers.
