Prometheus
In Reverence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From a sadistic force of nature
Its product a blinding burst of light
Blazing and burning the blood and bone of its creators
Spreading the ashes back to the grime
The mausoleum of mankind
And instructed to set his world aflame
The stomping sound of armies enclose the world
In an abyss of chaos and death
The stomping sound of armies enclose the world
In an abyss of chaos and death
Now observe as we turn the mountains
Into our own tombstones
In desolation we are left to rot
In devastation we all live on
The lyrics of In Reverence's song Prometheus tell of the consequences that come with seeking technological advancements. The song speaks of a force of nature that gave humanity a powerful tool which resulted in the destruction of its creators. The tool is described as a blinding burst of light that burned the blood and bone of those who created it. The ashes of humanity are then spread back to the grime, creating a "mausoleum of mankind".
The lyrics describe humanity as disciples who were given the gift of Satan almighty to set the world aflame. The stomping sound of armies encloses the world, leading it to an abyss of chaos and death. The song then talks of humanity turning mountains into tombstones, resulting in desolation and devastation where all are left to rot and live on.
The song is a commentary on the dangers of seeking technological progress without considering the potential consequences. Here, the force of nature symbolizes the universe's reaction to humanity's destructive ways. The song also touches on the theme of power and how it can be a double-edged sword.

A technological might was given to us
We were bestowed with great technological power
From a sadistic force of nature
But it came from a cruel and twisted force of nature
Its product a blinding burst of light
Its creation was a blinding and destructive explosion
Blazing and burning the blood and bone of its creators
It burned the bodies and souls of those who created it
Spreading the ashes back to the grime
It left only ashes, returning its creators to the dirt
The mausoleum of mankind
It was a grave for all of humanity
We the disciples given the gift of Satan almighty
We were chosen followers given the gift of immense power
And instructed to set his world aflame
And we were told to use that power to destroy and burn the world
The stomping sound of armies enclose the world
The earth was surrounded by the destructive armies
In an abyss of chaos and death
A chaotic and deadly world was all that remained
Now observe as we turn the mountains
Watch now as we destroy everything, even the great mountains
Into our own tombstones
Turning them into markers of our own destruction
In desolation we are left to rot
We are now abandoned in utter despair and decay
In devastation we all live on
We are all living in a world ravaged by our own destructive power

I'm looking for tech death and I've discovered it's very difficult to call something "tech death" because of the blurred lines of tech death and (tech) deathcore, so... Tech death? Also, i agree with the other comments, this song is very well done
