One of the most critically acclaimed bands in metal and undoubtedly one of its hardest-working, INTO ETERNITY borrows from all aspects of heavy music to form the perfect blend of technicality, memorable songwriting, traditional heavy metal and the sheer savagery of metal's extreme genres.
INTO ETERNITY's first concept album, "The Incurable Tragedy", also marked the first recording effort with new members Justin Bender (guitars) and Steve Bolognese (drums). This offering was inspired by the deaths of Roth's two best friends, brothers who succumbed to cancer within two months of one another. To make matters worse, when the band began demoing new material shortly after the completion of the Scattering tour - a star-making year of shows that saw the band perform alongside such internationally renowned acts as Dream Theater, Lamb of God, Megadeth, Opeth, Arch Enemy, The Haunted and Dark Tranquillity - Roth's father was diagnosed with cancer as well. Showing no mercy, the disease claimed his life last year, just 10 days before Christmas.
"The Incurable Tragedy" features a slew of tracks with the band’s trademarked heavy grooves, stop-on-a-dime time changes, reflective lyrics, memorable choruses, shredding solos, and vocals that range from guttural growls to soaring harmonies. This album proves to be the perfect cure for those suffering from a lack of progressive metal perfection and is sure to rank upon many top ten year end lists.
Beginning of the End
Into Eternity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No reason to slay the newborn son
The sky is falling
No escape Armageddon
The sky is burning
The end is just the beginning
Ending
Lights fade away
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
Your searching for your soul
Invasions dark armies armed with hate
An ancient world rises once again
Eradication of the mind
Beginning of the end
No escape Armageddon
Ending lights fade away
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
Your searching for your soul
Burning dead send swirling victims
Ending
Lights fade away
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
Your searching for your soul
Beginning of the end
The lyrics to Into Eternity's song "Beginning of the End" speak of a powerful and intense apocalyptic scenario where the end of the world is imminent, and there is no escaping the wrath that is inevitable. It seems like the song is referring to a 'legend' that precludes the end times, and there's no use trying to prevent the inevitable. The line "No reason to slay the newborn son" could possibly mean that even the birth of a new life would not bring relief from what's coming, and that humanity has reached a point of no return.
The next verse refers to Armageddon, describing the sky falling and burning, indicating an unstoppable natural disaster. The verse "Burning dead send swirling victims" is a visual portrayal of chaos and destruction, which also emphasizes the theme of death and decay. The following section of the song speaks of a dark invasion of men fueled by hate, and the rise of an ancient world once again. Eradication of the mind signifies that destruction of a culture, ideas, and beliefs, and the finality of what the apocalypse would bring. The song ends on a haunting note, with a repetition of "Your searching for your soul" and "Beginning of the End," signifying the arrival of the apocalypse, after which looking to the soul and the search for meaning is paramount
