Sun of Hope
Funeral Mist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Salvation through destruction
Cold black sun of hope
Darkness
Your star lies cold
Blindness
Blood and ash, be my crystal
Massdeath pole to pole
Imprecation of this predicted curse
Blessed be man, global cremation/salvation
Genesis, genesis, dawn of dawns
Genesis, genesis, dagger of flames
The altar must never turn cold
Flesh to cinders, womb of ashes
Come fire, come and close the circle,
holy inferno, dawn of dawns
Sun of death
And the lord hung the rainbow as a sign,
it won't be water but fire this time
Harmagedon, the thousand face revealed
Cold black sun of hope
Darkness
Blindness
Helpless
Famine and plague be my steps
To join my spells in this final war
Suicide, warfare be my tongue
Come fire, devour through me
Genesis, genesis, dagger of flames
Your offspring must never grow old
Flesh to cinders, cunt of ashes
Come fire, come and close the circle,
come, Satan, devour through me
Sun of death
Angel, angel... impeccant God of clean
Purify these fields of shame
Purify, purify
Purity comes when death is all
The lyrics of Funeral Mist's song "Sun of Hope" are apocalyptic in nature, speaking to the chaos and destruction that will bring about a new era of purification for humanity. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, describing panic, hysteria, and infernally raging chaos. In the face of this destruction, however, salvation is found. The "cold black sun of hope" represents the cleansing power of fire, which will purify the world and bring about a new dawn.
Throughout the song, there are allusions to biblical prophecy and the end of the world. The line "and the lord hung the rainbow as a sign, it won't be water but fire this time" references the story of Noah's Ark and suggests that the coming apocalypse will be more devastating than the Great Flood. The lyrics also reference the Book of Revelation, describing the thousand faces of Armageddon and the dawn of a new age.
Despite the violence and destruction described in the song, there is a sense of spiritual redemption in the lyrics. The repeated reference to "genesis, genesis, dagger of flames" suggests that the destruction will lead to a rebirth, a new beginning. The line "angel, angel...impeccant god of clean/purify these fields of shame" speaks to the idea that the apocalypse will purge humanity of its sins and help us start anew.
Funeral Mist's "Sun of Hope" is a powerful and evocative song, using imagery of fire and destruction to explore themes of purification and redemption.
