A New Dawn
In Aeternum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The gates to everlasting chaos
Make me see and hear how to
Consume the world in absolute darkness
I seek the truth the vengeance in my heart
The flame which burns for wisdom awakened
A wild untamed hatred to rise for powers
I despise the weak and the blind masses
Who are but sheeps
At the altar of madness and total freedom
I will unlock the gates to it all
By blood I sacrifice
With discipline I conquer
By blood I sacrifice
With strength I rule
A new dawn
Let the flames of the black abyss burn the heart of the earth
Let there be chaos let there be a new dawn at last
Let the flames of the black abyss burn the heart of the earth
Let there be chaos let there be a new dawn at last
I seek the truth the vengeance in my heart
The flame which burns for wisdom awakened
A wild untamed hatred to rise for powers
To rise for the coming of chaos
The lyrics of In Aeternum's song "A New Dawn" depict a desire to bring about chaos and darkness, with a deep-seated hatred towards those perceived as weak and blindly following the masses. The singer seeks the truth and vengeance, an awakened flame of wisdom that drives them to rise for powers and usher in a new dawn of chaos. They advocate for sacrifice and discipline as a means to conquer and rule, all in service of their ultimate goal.
The imagery of the gates to everlasting chaos and the flames of the black abyss burning the heart of the earth convey a sense of destruction and upheaval, oftentimes associated with dark and extreme forms of metal. The lyrics also highlight a rejection of societal norms and a pursuit of individual power, a common theme in black metal.
Despite the intense and aggressive tone of the lyrics, it is important to remember that music is often an artistic expression and not necessarily an endorsement of the sentiments expressed. Additionally, interpretation of lyrics can vary greatly between individuals and should not be taken as a universal message.
