Bringer Of War
Dionysus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A cold cunning razor smile
Is cutting through your spine
Words of evil, deeds of greed
Into the mouth of the nation he's sowing his seed

What's done can't come undone
But don't let us do it again
Have all we taught been so wrong
If not "Why are you singing this song"

Remember, a single spark can ignite the fire
Inside its womb you're his soul desire

The bringer of war

Like a phoenix he arose from the ashes
But did you ever see him come?
Even though his eyes are shining true
He's not the savior for me, nor for you

What's that sound I'm hearing?
Hasn't he been here once before?
A malefactor, promising to take down the sun
It seems like our past has come undone

Remember, a single spark can ignite the fire
Inside its womb you're his sole desire





The bringer of war

Words of evil, deeds of greed
The person in question is not just sinister in demeanor, he's also corrupt and out for himself


Into the mouth of the nation he's sowing his seed
He's spreading his influence and control to the entire nation flagrantly, and proudly so


What's done can't come undone
What has been done is irreversible, which should prompt us to be mindful of each and every decision we make


But don't let us do it again
We can still learn from our mistakes and prevent it from happening again in the future


Have all we taught been so wrong
We must reflect on our own teachings and see if they have been misguided and contributed to problems

From the smallest things, big and catastrophic events can be triggered


Inside its womb you're his soul desire
You may not know it, but you're actually fueling his hunger for dominance and control


Like a phoenix he arose from the ashes
This person has gone through times where he was utterly defeated and shamed but has risen again in a sort of rebirth


But did you ever see him come?
His rise to power was gradual and subtle, done in ways that people wouldn't suspect right away


Even though his eyes are shining true
Even if he seems sincere and honest with his intentions, it's most likely just a facade


He's not the savior for me, nor for you
He isn't the hero people should be looking for, or the person people should blindly follow, he's just clouded with evil intentions masked by fake charisma


What's that sound I'm hearing?
We should be wary of the warning sounds that our intuition often tells us, because it might just reveal the truth


Hasn't he been here once before?
This isn't the first time such a malevolent person has gained power and control, so we should be more careful


A malefactor, promising to take down the sun
He's making grand promises, with confidence and charisma, but those promises might just be the ruin of us


It seems like our past has come undone
It appears that we haven't learned from the mistakes of our predecessors, and the same cycle of chaos and destruction is repeating once again


The bringer of war
A symbol of chaos and destruction, who promises might and power that will lead to nothing but ruin and destruction
