Through Time And Death
Daemonicium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lips like roses touch my neck
I'm flowing in lakes of her eyes
On snowed white cheek tear like diamond
Falling from grace
I feel love burning my heart
When blood starts to boiled
Stars fall from skies like flowers
In cosmic endless cry
Like blade, piercing through my chill heart
But love so burns, like flames of eternity
Salvation of light, touch my neck
On skin I feel her touch of roses like lips
(I) Don't feel the pain
In divine pleasure I drown...
In lakes of her eyes
Like stone throw by lone spirit
Which cry for her beloved fate
Rest in peace
From which I call you through time and death
My only love, my life
My life...
Lips like roses touch my neck
I'm flowing in lakes of her eyes
On snowed white cheek tear like diamond
Falling from grace
I feel love burning my heart
I'm ready for her
On evergreen fields I fly
To mountains cold, as heart that died
On peaks my burning body freezes
In chill that pierce my heart I breathe...
[Part II - Landscape]
From the stars that shining bright
From the mountains cold and high
From the depths of endless hate
To the sorrow, grimness and pain
Spooky woman talks to stones
Headless creatures without bones
Trembling ground, grain of sand
Bleak headstones marks the end
Spears of lightning piercing my brain
Dance of warlock calling rain
Falling stars from skies on earth
Mighty anger calling death
Twilight of the man at hand
Angels crying fire tears
Hungry before Christ is born
One who makes dreams gloom
Memories skulking between trees
Heartless Old-One under sea
From beneath to gather minds of
Minions of His genocide
Let us know the mystery
Of the blood and memories
Of the ancient tribe of Kain
Of the mortal sin and dying
Many brothers drown in blood
Wars and plagues - servants of doom...
On this land oblivion falls
Do they live forever?
Through time and death?
Through time and death...
The lyrics to Daemonicium's "Through Time and Death" can be divided into two parts, each with its unique focus. Part I – Love, describes the central character's experience of love and how it affects him. The language in this part is sensual, and the imagery used vividly creates an atmosphere of intense passion. The singer describes his lover's lips as being like roses and her eyes, like lakes that he is flowing in. He speaks of feeling the burning of love in his heart, and when the blood starts to boil, it feels like stars are falling from the sky like flowers. The love he feels is described as eternal, and he seeks salvation in it.
Part II – Landscape, on the other hand, creates an entirely different atmosphere that is haunting and eerie. The lyrics describe a world of darkness and despair, where spooky women talk to stones, headless creatures roam, and the deathly silence is only broken by the sound of falling stars. The singer seems to be experiencing a crisis of faith, asking whether those who have died live on forever, even "through time and death." The imagery is that of supernatural forces at work, with lightning piercing his brain, and the dance of warlocks calling forth rain. The lyrics then turn to questions related to blood and memories, ancient tribes, and mortal sin.
The overall impression of the song is that of a journey through dark and intense moments, a search for meaning and understanding, and an exploration of the depths of the human experience.
