Awakening
Hexenhaus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Lead : Mike]
Weighed down with intuitions under waves of anguish and fear
Our future world is bequeathed a legacy of evil pressage to bear
We must gather our thoughts - Prepare to face a forthcoming fall
Death is life close at hand - A nessecary measury, unleash this call
Pay heed to premonitions - Reveal clear facts to save mankind
Mother earth we've inherited from ancestors time out of mind
Drems of love are shattered - Submission to folly has led us astray
The calm before the storm rearrange what makes man decay
Let's call the awakening
Let's call the awakening
[Lead : Mike & Marco]
We dwell within the measurable (distance of ruin)
Behold the hatred among us all
Twilight, descending from above (seek your shelter)
Beyond the horizon of time
Weighed down with intuitions - Reveal clear facts to save mankind
Our future world is bequeathed - From ancestors time out of mind
Dreams of love are shattered - Prepare to face a forthcoming fall
The calm before the storm - We ought to obey this exhortation
Let's call the awakening
"In the hands of a child lies the age of tomorrow
A guidance to our future through sadness and sorrow"
The song " Awakening" by Hexenhaus is a reflection of the current state of the world and how it's headed towards destruction. The lyrics lament a future bequeathed with evil, and the weight of intuitions under waves of anguish and fear. The world is projected to face a forthcoming fall, and it's incumbent upon the people to gather their thoughts and ascertain the facts to save humankind. Death is a necessary measure when it's close at hand. The imminent destruction of the world as we know it is inevitable, and given this, the song exhorts us to prepare with a call for an awakening.
The song's lyrics also suggest that people must rebel against submission to folly that has led them away from their dreams of love. A calm before the storm is necessary to rearrange human values and bring a positive change to the planet before it's too late. The song points to the fact that the world has already descended into ruin, and hatred continues to brew among humans. The lyrics state that if we heed premonitions and objectively analyze facts, we may still be able to reverse this process.
