Dawn Of Relic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of slumber
Past the wan-mooned abysses
Of night
Live o'er my lives without number
I have sounded all things with
My sight
I have whirled with the earth at
When the sky was a vaporous flame
I have seen the dark universe
Yawning
Where the black planets roll
Without aim
Oh, great was the sin of my spirit
And great is the reach of its doom;
I had drifted o'er seas
Without ending
Under sinister grey-clouded skies
That the many-forked lightning is rending
That resound with hysterical cries
I have scanned the vast ivy-clad palace
I have trod its untented hall
Where the moon rising up from the valleys
Shows the tapestries things on the walls
Staring ages back
Fearbound
Please god help me
Oh, great was the sin of my spirit
And great is the reach of it's doom
Not the pity of heaven can cheer it
Nor the respite found in the tomb
Staring ages back
Those lives I have had
There's no peace for me
Fearbound
Please god help me
Oh, great was the sin of my spirit
And great its reach from its doom
Not the pity of heaven can
Cheer it
Nor the respite be found in the tomb
The lyrics in Dawn Of Relic's song Nemesis are about a narrator who describes their experiences traveling through various dimensions and encountering different universes. They describe passing through "guarded gateways of slumber" and seeing "wan-mooned abysses of night." They have experienced endless seas under grey-clouded skies and heard "hysterical cries." They have even entered a vast palace with ivy-clad walls and seen tapestries that show things on the walls from ages ago. The singer expresses a great sense of guilt and sin in their spirit, which has brought them to reach for doom. They also feel fearbound and in desperate need of God's help.
The lyrics of Nemesis are a reflection of the band's interest in cosmic horror themes, drawing inspiration from the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. The lyrics are a depiction of Lovecraft's concept of a cosmic universe that is terrifying and beyond human comprehension. The song's lyrics are cryptic and poetic, leaving the listener to interpret their own meaning.
Line by Line Meaning
Through the guarded gateways of slumber
I have traveled through my dreams.
Past the wan-mooned abysses of night
I have journeyed through the darkness of the night.
Live o'er my lives without number
I have lived many lives.
I have sounded all things with my sight
I have seen everything there is to see.
I have whirled with the earth at the dawning
I have experienced the dawn of the earth.
When the sky was a vaporous flame
When the sky was burning with color.
I have seen the dark universe yawning
I have witnessed the darkness of the universe.
Where the black planets roll without aim
Where the planets move without purpose.
Oh, great was the sin of my spirit
My soul has committed terrible sins.
And great is the reach of its doom;
And the punishment for those sins is great.
I had drifted o'er seas without ending
I have wandered aimlessly across oceans.
Under sinister grey-clouded skies
Under threatening, dark skies.
That the many-forked lightning is rending
That are being torn apart by lightning.
That resound with hysterical cries
That echo with screams and shouts.
I have scanned the vast ivy-clad palace
I have explored a grand, overgrown palace.
I have trod its untented hall
I have walked through its open halls.
Where the moon rising up from the valleys
Where the moon rises from the valley below.
Shows the tapestries things on the walls
Revealing tapestries hanging on the walls.
Staring ages back fearbound
Afraid of the past and what it reveals.
Please god help me
Asking for divine intervention.
Not the pity of heaven can cheer it
Even heaven's sympathy cannot bring happiness.
Nor the respite found in the tomb
Nor the peace found in death.
Those lives I have had
My past lives.
There's no peace for me
I cannot find inner peace.
Oh, great was the sin of my spirit
My soul has committed terrible sins.
And great its reach from its doom
And the punishment for those sins is far-reaching.
Not the pity of heaven can cheer it
Even heaven's sympathy cannot bring happiness.
Nor the respite be found in the tomb
Nor the peace found in death.
