Land Of Life
Cydonia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Abandoned among flames, fear in his heart
the emperor sees his kingdom burn
he sees his life again, battles and triumphs
and suffering he takes his sword

The end is near, tragic and mean
Not even he managed to stop them
But this is war, sad and unfair
Will his fighting spirit find peace

A short time is left, death waits for him
As a hero he reaches his throne
One last prayer alone, some magic takes place
His soul gives life to Cydonia

There is no revenge in his heart, and right now
He'll be awake in the silence
He powerful will see the Gods in Heaven
A Divinity with an eternal soul.

Finally I can fly free in the sky, flying like a rainbow
Touching the stars and reigning in eternity
Cydonia Land of Life

When one day the entire planet will die
My Land will be free
Time will not be enough to eradicate this
The great fighting soul
And I want to see forever, to give out
Energy from my heart and my face to be
Silence in time, of a God, always inflamed

There is no revenge in his heart, and right now
He'll be awake in the silence
He powerful will see the Gods in Heaven
A Divinity with an eternal soul

Finally I can fly free in the sky, flying like a rainbow
Touching the stars and reigning in eternity
Cydonia Land of Life

But where is a planet without life in space
Where the spirit of a great King is still reigning
But where is a planet without life in space
Where the spirit of a great King is still reigning





Touching the start and reigning in eternity
Cydonia Land of Life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cydonia's song "Land of Life" tell the story of a once great emperor who has been abandoned in the midst of a raging battle. As he looks out at the flames engulfing everything he has built, he reflects on his life, remembering the battles he fought and won, as well as the suffering he endured along the way. In his final moments, he takes hold of his sword and bravely faces death, hoping that his fighting spirit will find peace. As he dies, he prays for his soul to be transferred to a new life form, and through some kind of magic, his soul gives life to a new entity, Cydonia.


The song is steeped in themes of war, heroism, and the desire for immortality. The emperor's story is one of tragedy, as he realizes that his power and ambition were not enough to stop the forces that ultimately destroyed him. Despite this, he remains unflinching in his determination to face death with honor and dignity, hoping that his legacy will live on through his rebirth as Cydonia. In the end, the song expresses a deep sense of hope and wonder, as the newly created entity is able to fly free in the sky, touching the stars and reigning in eternity.

A spectral realm where a mighty emperor continues to rule


Touching the stars and reigning in eternity
Cydonia, a realm of undying souls that governs the cosmos
