Quest For Resistance
Heaven Shall Burn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reborn into a new world
Awoken from dark eras
Ruins of an insane dream still cast their shadows
And demons from the past still walk among us
An age that bore no heroes
No answers to the few who raised their questions
A quest for resistance
You're searching for an easy truth
But you betrayed them, they could not trust you
As you marched in lines and circles
As you held your flags up high
They had nowhere to run to
Your heroes, they could not dare to speak to you
But the courage you're reclaiming, it died a bitter death with them
No one here and no one there, no one heard them calling
The lyrics to Heaven Shall Burn's song Quest For Resistance paint a picture of a nation reborn, awakened from dark times and trying to move forward in a new world. Despite this, the ruins of a past era cast shadows on the present day, with demons from the past still walking amongst the people. The song speaks of an age that didn't have heroes to look to for answers, where silence was just as deadly as poison and the truth was nowhere to be found.
The chorus of the song speaks to the idea of a quest for resistance, but also the dangers that come with it. The singer is searching for an easy truth but has betrayed those who couldn't trust them. As they marched in formations and held their flags high, there was nowhere for their heroes to run to and they couldn't even speak to the singer. The song ends with a bitter note about the courage that the singer is reclaiming - how it died with those who should have been their heroes, and no one was there to hear them calling out.
Overall, Quest For Resistance is a powerful commentary on the dangers of blindly following orders and the struggle to find truth and heroes in a world that tries to silence both. It's a call for resistance, but also for introspection and the search for a truth that can stand the test of time.

No one here and no one there, no one heard them calling
The oppressed are alone and unheard, without anyone to help
