Prophet of The Fire
Gargantua Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Felt my pulse and now I ain't dead yet.
Dirty hands cause I was back from the grave.
Freed from addiction, illusion th slave.
Let's continue because I'm thus mob deep.
If I speak against the evil they'll put me to sleep.
It is quite simple. Make no waves against the biz.
But dead president's I don't desire.
I am the Prophet of The Fire!
It was dusk as I thrust bust my bedroom door.
Tired and bloodstained I fell to the floor.
What time was it? I can't remember now.
It doesn't matter now cause I took the secret vow.
The underground sound is now prepared.
The AOL will rise against the hell.
With every ounce and every breath,
The war is on from here till death.
Mission: Destroy the empire.
I am the Prophet of The Fire!!
The lyrics of the song "Prophet of The Fire" by Gargantua Soul suggest a story of awakening and transformation. The singer describes waking up in a cold sweat on a battlefield, feeling his pulse and realizing he is not dead yet. He goes on to speak about being freed from addiction and the illusion of being a slave to something. The lyrics suggest a sense of rebirth and renewal after a difficult period, possibly related to addiction or other personal struggles.
The second half of the song speaks to a desire to speak out against evil, but also an understanding that doing so could be dangerous. The lyrics suggest a struggle between the desire for wealth (represented by "Benjamin's" - referring to Benjamin Franklin on the hundred-dollar bill) and a rejection of the greed and corruption associated with money. The singer declares himself the "Prophet of The Fire," a figure who is ready to fight against a destructive empire and rise up against the "hell" of the world around them.
Overall, "Prophet of The Fire" seems to be a song that speaks to overcoming personal struggles and finding a sense of purpose in standing up for what is right. The lyrics suggest a desire to fight against corruption and greed, and a recognition that taking a stand can be dangerous. However, the song also suggests a sense of fearlessness and determination to speak out and fight back against the forces that hold people down.
