Dawn Of Relic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hear them singing
Hear their hearts
Feel their passion
Feel their scars
Doors are shut
To Time and fate
This useless hate
For us to share and we failed
Black void shrouds the earth
Soil vomits the fire
And scars the seas
Doomwatchers we are
Just staring the feast
Time passes slowly by
Like a boat so old
On the morning river
Where the water is truth
And its surface Shivers
Go now the moon is waning
The Beasts are out and you're all alone
Leave now and hope for dawning
Storm draws near and you're far from home
Hear me now our time has come
All pride has been raped
To feed the light
The true fiends of Christendom
Hear me we are the dragon
The abyss, the sign
The only wine of life
The abyss, the wine
You drank and spat it out
Life's infidel
For now there's no dawn
They have been down so long
I can hear them singing
Hear their hearts
Feel their passion
Feel their scars
Doors are shut
To Time and fate
It was for us us to share
This useless hate
For us to share and we failed
Go now the moon is waning
The Beasts are out and you're all alone
Leave now and hope for dawning
Storm draws near and you're far from home
The lyrics of Dawn Of Relic's song 'The Awakening' are poetic and thought-provoking, inviting listeners to explore themes such as failed consciousness, wrath of fate, and the struggle to find hope in a bleak world. The first stanza describes how long humanity has been downtrodden, indicating that the people have suffered for too long. The singer can hear them singing their sorrowful tune, which is accompanied by the rhythmic beating of their hearts. The singer has a deep understanding of their passion and scars, which are not only physical but emotional as well. The second stanza portrays the earth as a deathbed, with doors always closed to the inevitability of time and fate. It refers to the fact that humans were meant to share and enjoy the world together, but they have chosen to hate each other. They have failed at this, creating a pattern of suffering for themselves.
The third stanza also highlights the black void shrouding the earth, indicating that the earth is no longer the same. The ground vomits fire and scars the seas, portraying that nature is now fighting back. The fourth stanza describes how long time is passing by, signifying how nothing can reverse the fate of the earth. It is compared to a boat so old, which has spent all its time on the morning river. The water in the river is truth, and it shivers as if trying to warn them of the impending doom. The Beast is out, and they are left alone in their misery. The fifth stanza mentions that the singer feels that their time has come, as all pride has been raped, and the true fiends of Christendom are in power. He urges all others to realize this and stand united. The sixth stanza portrays the abyss and the only wine of life left in there, which humans are drinking like fools, disrespecting the sanctity of life. The song ends with a repetition of the first stanza, indicating that the suffering still exists and humans still have a long way to go.

Life has betrayed you.
For now there's no dawn
There's no hope for a new beginning.
