The Fortuneteller
Daemonicium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Illuminations of doom
I'm prophet of the violence that destroys
The womb of Mother Earth
I'm bearer of the shadows of the future
My words mark the night
I have revelations of the power of the Evil
I see a dead man rise
From the dead they back to life to fight
With the living forces of the Light
And Gods give me visions...
We wander through this empty land
Our dawn sinister by the dark
Our legions vanished scratched across the field
where winds blows freezing bath
Spread our glory on hostile enemies
Break this veil of night
Stars shine brightly guide false road
Which is going to frozen hell
We cannot beat the Dark
Cause we are human wrecks
We hold the swords rise up in the air
we gathered here in this holy place
to pray for strength to fight
The Fortuneteller by Daemonicium is a song that speaks about the visions and revelations of a fortuneteller who receives prophesies of violence and war from the gods. This eerily beautiful song speaks of the fortuneteller being the bearer of the shadows of the future, marked by his prophetic visions that bring illumination of doom. Through his eyes, we see the destruction that wars can cause to Mother Earth, leaving her womb barren and lifeless. The fortuneteller also speaks of his visions of the power of Evil and how it can resurrect the dead to fight against the forces of Light.
The second verse talks about the legions of darkness that rise from the dead, to fight alongside the living against the forces of light. The imagery of the line "where winds blows freezing bath" leaves behind a feeling of despair, indicating the deep-seated darkness and hopelessness of the situation. The fortuneteller speaks of the struggle between the living and the undead, and how it could lead them to frozen hell.
The song ends with the fortuneteller acknowledging their human weakness, but with a glimmer of hope in their hearts. They hold their swords up high, gathering in a holy place to pray for strength to fight. We can see that the human struggle is ongoing, but the fortuneteller's prophesies has given them the chance to prepare themselves.

And Gods gives me visions of the war
I receive divine revelations about impending conflict
Illuminations of doom
These visions are bleak and portend tragedy
I'm prophet of the violence that destroys
I am a seer of the carnage and destruction that lies ahead
The womb of Mother Earth
The Earth itself, the source of all life
I'm bearer of the shadows of the future
I carry knowledge of the dark times to come
My words mark the night
My predictions loom over the present like a shroud
I have revelations of the power of the Evil
I know of the strength of malevolent forces
I see a dead man rise
I foresee the resurrection of the deceased
From the dead they back to life to fight
The reanimated will battle once more
With the living forces of the Light
They will be opposed by the armies of goodness
We wander through this empty land
We travel aimlessly across this barren expanse
Our dawn sinister by the dark
The start of each day is ominous, shrouded in shadow
Our legions vanished scratched across the field
Our forces have been defeated and scattered in battle
where winds blows freezing bath
The biting wind chills us to the bone
Spread our glory on hostile enemies
We shall triumph over our adversarial foes
Break this veil of night
We will dispel the darkness with our valor
Stars shine brightly guide false road
The stars are a false guide, leading us astray
Which is going to frozen hell
Our path leads us to a desolate and potentially lethal wasteland
We cannot beat the Dark
We are unable to vanquish the forces of malevolence
Cause we are human wrecks
Our physical and emotional wreckage renders us powerless
We hold the swords rise up in the air
Nevertheless, we brandish our weapons and prepare to fight
we gathered here in this holy place
We have convened in a place of spiritual significance
to pray for strength to fight
We seek divine assistance in our struggle
