Invasion
DIMINISH THE GODS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Worlds burning in the Great Conjunction
Adamantium limbs crack the stones of Atlas in the eclipse
Like Dracula we feed while the planets align
Archaeopteryx awakens at the Mountains of Madness as the
Skeleton water clock depicting the Zodiac keeps time

We fashioned masks in the crypts of the graveyard
And turned the bolts on our Frankenstein scapula
Concrete cracks under our jackhammer jackboots
Like Dracula we feed while the planets align in trine
We fashioned masks in the crypts of the graveyard
And turned the bolts on our Frankenstein scapula
Concrete cracks under our jackhammer jackboots
Like Dracula we feed while the planets align under the
Eye of the Basilisk gazing

I’ll tear the wings from the Pegasus and
I will steal the eyes of Medusa and then
I’ll snap the horns of a thousand unicorns under the
Eye of the Basilisk gazing

And now it’s behind us, those years in the shadows
When no one was watching, and no one was listening
Still we return again, back from the darkness
The four horsemen could never tear us away

We are a Nautilus descending down to
Ten thousand leagues underneath the ocean as the
Fault lines fracture planar tektites at the
Gates of the Triasic to Jurassic Era

We are a Juggernaut unstoppable at
Ten thousand times faster than the speed of light our
Destination is the centre of the earth like a
.30cal Bullet shot from a Dragunov

We are a Zeppelin conflagration
Phoenix flight of Daedalus and Icarus
The Book of Enoch, The Book of Revelations
Lucifer ascending, Ragnarok awakening

Sator
Arepo
Tenet
Opera
Rotas

Sator the Sower, Founder, Progenitor
Arepo, creeper, the stealthy deceiver and
Tenet the Holder, the Keeper, Possessor
Opera, whore, sister of Luna and
Rotas the wheel, revolver, rotator
Sator the Sower, Founder, Progenitor
Arepo, creeper, the stealthy deceiver and
Tenet the Holder, the Keeper, Possessor

And now it’s behind us, those years in the shadows
When no one was watching, and no one was listening




Still we return again, back from the darkness
The four horsemen could never tear us away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DIMINISH THE GODS' song Invasion paint a picture of an apocalyptic, dystopian world where the powerful dominate the weak and the end of the world is near. The Great Conjunction has caused worlds to burn and the planets to align, giving rise to superhuman beings with adamantium limbs that can crack the stones of Atlas. Like Dracula, they feed on the weaker humans while the Archaeopteryx awakens at the Mountains of Madness. The Skeleton water clock depicting the Zodiac keeps time as the world falls apart.


The powerful beings fashioned their masks in the crypts of the graveyard and turned the bolts on their Frankenstein scapula while the concrete cracked under their jackhammer jackboots. They tear the wings from the Pegasus, steal the eyes of Medusa, and snap the horns of a thousand unicorns. They reference the Eye of the Basilisk gazing, which is a mythical creature that can cause death by turning people to stone with its gaze. However, even though the years in the shadows are behind us, the four horsemen could never tear us away, and they return to wreak more destruction.
