The knowledge of truth
Dominus Inferi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bloody trace of a Genesis, living inside me
Come to me, wisdom, let me know,
Let learning, flow through me,
And bring me the thirst of discovering.
An sole obsession, an only end.
If I could absorb everything, that's real, what's truth,
If I knew how to wipe out the feith
Then I would be able to be free
Senseless adiction and furtive need, tempt me, take me to you.
And now I understand the nature of my being, absurd duality originated in the creation
The absolute truth, I wish to have, I wish to have, bloody trace of a Genesis, living inside me.
Huc accede, vinceme cepime, sapientiam tule mihi,
Tule bonum et malum mihi,
Et confla eos in humanitate mea
Blody trace of a Genesis, living inside me!
The lyricist of Dominus Inferi's song "The Knowledge of Truth" appears to be depicting a yearning for a deeper understanding of the elemental forces that shaped the universe, and an inner struggle with the contradictions and complexities inherent in human nature. The repeated refrain of "The absolute truth, I wish to have, I wish to have, bloody trace of a Genesis, living inside me" hints at a search for a sense of purpose and meaning, and perhaps a desire to connect more deeply with the natural world and the mysterious power that animates it.
The second verse seems to touch on the idea that knowledge and understanding can be transformative, and that by embracing wisdom and allowing oneself to be open to new discoveries, one can shed limiting beliefs and attain greater freedom. However, this quest for understanding can also be fraught with peril, as suggested by the lyrics "Senseless addiction and furtive need, tempt me, take me to you", which imply that the pursuit of truth can sometimes lead to dark places.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Knowledge of Truth" seem to reflect a struggle to reconcile the contradictions and conflicting impulses of human existence, and a desire to transcend the limitations of the physical world to attain a deeper understanding of the forces that shape our reality.
