VI
Fanisk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thou hast sung, first and last.
From the ever-risen, ever-fallen,
Blossoming hexagon.
Mystic Aar, of etheric talon--
Through many forms, ye have shone.
Revealing thyself, through paths of splendor;
Crushing in, perfection.
All doubt destroyed, before thy palm.
Can-descent prism, of celestial wisdom--
A harmonic infinity have I be-known.
One thousand eyes, one thousand dominions,
Against and, above all time.
Of many spheres, unborn and olden--
One is the numeral, of Gotos will.
The lyrics of Fanisk's song VI are full of symbolism and mysticism. The first stanza, "Of many swords, blue and golden--/ Thou hast sung, first and last./ From the ever-risen, ever-fallen,/ Blossoming hexagon," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The "swords" can be interpreted as symbols of power or knowledge, which the singer has sung about from the beginning to the end of time. The "ever-risen, ever-fallen" could be a reference to cycles of life and death or to the eternal struggle between good and evil. The "blossoming hexagon" is a mysterious image that could represent a sacred geometric shape or a portal to another realm.
The second stanza, "Mystic Aar, of etheric talon--/ Through many forms, ye have shone./ Revealing thyself, through paths of splendor;/ Crushing in, perfection," continues the esoteric themes. The "Mystic Aar" could refer to a spiritual guide or a magical force that has taken on many forms throughout history. The "paths of splendor" suggest a journey of enlightenment or transformation, while the "crushing in, perfection" could mean overcoming obstacles to attain spiritual purity.
The final stanza, "All and none, without, within./ All doubt destroyed, before thy palm./ Can-descent prism, of celestial wisdom--/ A harmonic infinity have I be-known./ One thousand eyes, one thousand dominions,/ Against and, above all time./ Of many spheres, unborn and olden--/ One is the numeral, of Gotos will," is perhaps the most cryptic of all. The lines "All and none, without, within" suggest a state of unity or transcendence, where distinctions between self and other disappear. The "Can-descent prism" could be a reference to a crystal that refracts light, symbolizing the infinite aspects of wisdom. The "one thousand eyes, one thousand dominions" could refer to multiple dimensions of existence. Finally, "Gotos will" is likely to be a reference to the personal mythology of the band.
