In Cinere Et Cilicio
Ensoph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the tides of Time still leave his stain
Nothing, nothing changes, nothing is the same
Still vacuum remains, won't pass away
A clear dictum set in a sincere tune
A clear verdict screamed that seems a storm
A voice that destroys the forlorn mansions of reasons.
A roaring lament that becomes our anguish
A sorrowing blame where we must languish
And every times that we see thy light
And every times that we see your grace
My guilt oppresses our chest...
Our soul is a desert... an empty space
Far from your shadow... we hide our face...
Please save us...
Please save us...
The lyrics of Ensoph's song "In Cinere Et Cilicio" are a powerful reflection on the human condition and our struggle with shame and guilt. The first line, "We have forgotten how to bear our shame," highlights the fact that in modern society, we often shy away from confronting our own shortcomings and instead try to hide them from others. However, the next line acknowledges that despite our attempts to bury our shame, the passage of time leaves a lasting stain on us.
As the song continues, it becomes clear that the singer is pleading for salvation from their guilt and emptiness. The line "My guilt oppresses our chest..." speaks to the suffocating weight that shame can place on our psyche, while "Our soul is a desert... an empty space" describes the sense of spiritual barrenness that can come from feeling disconnected from a higher power.
Despite these feelings of desolation, there is still a glimmer of hope expressed in the final lines: "Please save us... Please save us..." These lines acknowledge the possibility of redemption and salvation, suggesting that even when we feel lost and alone, there is still a chance for us to find our way back to a place of grace and peace.
Overall, "In Cinere Et Cilicio" is a poignant meditation on the struggles of the human soul, and a call to recognize and confront our own weaknesses in order to move towards a place of healing and forgiveness.
