***
Beyond the dark are men like you.
Weakened by the sun, blind fools.
Cursed by the light, a life untrue.
In the night, the fire Burns Inside.
It guides us on The Dark Side.
One path, eyes open, to the Unlite.
We are symbols, we stay concealed, shades our devices.
We are shadows, we stay unnamed, wraiths in disguises.
We are imperial, we stay unlit, the Inkakai rises.
Accept no imitations – we are the fire.
The Fierce Imperial Revenge Executed Against Liars.
The Imperia
Fireal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unchild born of the lie
The new sunlight lie of the shine
You have no time
Now that your light has failed you
Faded born of the embers and flames that
Give you the dark
You have no eyes
Alone hear you call me now
Hear you call me now
Choke in the dirt of your toys
And the golden
Dust of your soul
You are broken
Your skin is cracked on the surface
Verses this is the pulse of your murder
If I kill you enough
This will hurt her
Bathe in the blood of your children
(Starve)
Hear you call me now
Hear you call me now
Hear you call me now
Hear you call me now
(But I'm still standing tall)
Here we call you now
Hear you call me now
Hear you call me now
Hear you call me now (yeah)
The lyrics to Fireal's The Imperia are haunting and mysterious, leaving room for interpretation and personal reflection. The song begins with the line "Unchild born of the lie," suggesting the singer's disillusionment with the world and those around them. The next line refers to a "new sunlight lie of the shine," perhaps suggesting a deception or illusion in society's idealized version of success and happiness.
The singer then turns to someone else, addressing them as "you" and describing their loss of light and eyes, possibly indicating a loss of hope and a sense of being lost in the darkness. The chorus repeats the phrase "Hear you call me now," creating a sense of urgency or desperation. The second verse describes the subject's brokenness and the pulse of their murder, adding to the song's eerie and unsettling tone.
The bridge, however, provides a contrast, as the singer declares their resilience and ability to stand tall despite the darkness and destruction around them. The final chorus repeats the phrase "Hear you call me now," almost as if the subject is desperately reaching out for help or salvation.
Overall, The Imperia seems to explore themes of disillusionment, loss, and hopelessness, but also hints at the possibility of strength and resilience in the face of adversity.
