Emperor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond
Emperium
Behold my coming
Enlightening my realm in a silvery glow
Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky
Guarding treasures from forbidden light
I still remember, though ages ago it seems
The first time I entered the gates
The revelation of ritual death
By which I became divine
Sacrifice of the life I had among the flesh of the light
And now I enter again
Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see
In ecstasy I mock the world
Suddenly I memorize
Asking what I left behind
Nothing
Can I ever comprehend?
Will my longing ever end?
Never
Drawn towards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Eternally
The lyrics of Emperor's song Ye Entrancemperium delves into the concept of seeking death and the sacredness that comes with it. The persona in the song is portrayed as one who is drawn towards these lands, riding on the winds of his blackened soul, in search of the sacred soil that beckons him.
The Emperium is depicted as the persona's empire beyond where he grows stronger upon entering. The persona is in awe of his empire and in his ecstasy, he mocks the world. He remembers his first time crossing the gates and becoming divine through the ritual death that occurred at that time. The Emporium is guarded by shadows that are preventing the treasures from forbidden light.
The last stanza shows the persona asking if he will ever comprehend and if his longing will ever end. His thirst for death and sacred soil is eternal and he will always be drawn towards these lands.
Line by Line Meaning
Drawn towards these lands again
I am compelled to return to this place
Seeking death and sacred soil
I am searching for the sanctity of death
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
I am guided by the darkness within me
Growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond
I become more powerful as I enter my kingdom
Emperium
I am the Emperor
Behold my coming
Witness my return
The fullmoon rise above me
The moon illuminates my path
Enlightening my realm in a silvery glow
My kingdom is bathed in the moon's silver light
Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky
Darkness lurks beneath the surface of my power
Guarding treasures from forbidden light
Hiding secrets from the light that cannot be revealed
I still remember, though ages ago it seems
I recall my transformation into divine power
The first time I entered the gates
The moment of my ascension
The revelation of ritual death
The enlightenment of sacrifice
By which I became divine
Transcending mortality
Sacrifice of the life I had among the flesh of the light
Abandoning the mortal realm
And now I enter again
Returning to my kingdom
Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see
More powerful, yet still in awe of my own realm
In ecstasy I mock the world
My power allows me to reject and ridicule the world
Suddenly I memorize
I am struck by a realization
Asking what I left behind
Wondering what I have let go of in my ascension
Nothing
The answer to my question is nothing
Can I ever comprehend?
Will I ever truly understand?
Will my longing ever end?
Will my desire for power ever be satisfied?
Never
No, it never will
Eternally
Forever and always
