The Truth
Dies Irae [Pol] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

That, which sleep
Is a part of the soul
That, which watch
Is a part of the watching
I know what I am looking for
And I am looking for things
I already know
Contradiction and duality

Contradiction and unity
Of different levels
Of perception
I am wandering
To the inner space
Of soul
I am looking for the truth
Cause this is my path
Cause this is my destination
Love under will
The key of develop
From rationality to purification
And at the end
The shapeless flame
Whirling voice
The child wilding the bow of light
Standing on horseback
Painted in gold

Symbols united as the lion
Of knowledge and truth

Overall Meaning

The Truth by Dies Irae(Pol) is a song about self-discovery and the search for the truth. The first two lines of the song talk about two parts of the soul. The sleeping part represents the part of the soul that is dormant and needs awakening, while the watching part represents the part of the soul that is awake and aware. The singer knows what they are looking for, but they are not sure if they have found it. The contradictions and duality of different levels of perception represent the complexity of life and how our perceptions of reality can be influenced by different factors. The singer is on a journey to find the truth that will lead them to purification and ultimately the shapeless flame.

The lyrics also talk about the importance of love and will in this journey. The singer believes that love under will is the key to their development. The use of the word ‘will’ here represents one’s personal willpower, conviction, and intention. The song suggests that the path towards the truth is not an easy one, and it requires rational thinking, purification, and a willingness to embrace the unknown. The lyrics suggest that the end goal is a child wilding the bow of light, painted in gold, which represents knowledge and truth.
