Grimmark is the main composer in Narnia, and on their album The Great Fall most of the lyrics were written by him. On their other albums the lyrics have been written by their vocalist Christian Rivel. Grimmark is also given credits as a producer on several of Narnia's albums.
Grimmark has become a highly acclaimed guitarist in the Christian hard rock music genre as more people are exposed to his solid technical abilities, which can be exemplified by the fact that he is credited for playing every instrument on Narnia's first album, Awakening, and his unique approach towards incorporating a neo-classical sound into his music.
Resurrection
Grimmark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to tell you
Just listen if you dare
When all that's right
Seems out of sight
You're not a strong as You thing you are
Why must you fight
Another night
Time for resurrection We've go to learn
We've got to burn
We've got to face our egos
It's time for resurrection I want to tell you
That love is true
This is my challenge
For your to take
Why must you fight
Another night
Surrender to the light tonight
The lyrics to Grimmark's song Resurrection seem to be addressing someone who is struggling to overcome their own personal demons or challenges. The singer wants to express how much they care for this person and implores them to listen to what they have to say. The lyrics then go on to say that when everything seems hopeless or out of reach, the person may not feel as strong as they think they are. It seems like the singer is trying to encourage this person to let go of their inner battles and to surrender to the light, meaning to let go of their negative thoughts and emotions and to embrace positivity and hope.
The lyrics of this song are quite powerful and could be interpreted as a message of hope or encouragement to anyone facing hardship or personal challenges. The phrase "time for resurrection" could be interpreted as a call to action to rise above one's struggles and to become stronger through the process. The song seems to be an invitation to confront one's ego and to face reality head-on, rather than avoiding or denying it.
