Let the Titans Collide
Ironsword Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before the altar stone
To revive primordial creation
Praying for the world they once knew
When Men and Gods were as one
And walked upon the Earth
Until the balance was disturbed
Titans collide - The gods return for us
Mortals fed with desire, the whim of divinity
Few mortals dare to usurp
And enslave the gods from above
The lust for power of the Universe
And enjoy the spoils of all worlds
Transgressing the laws of nature
In the greatest battle ever seen
Let the titans figth one another
In the end, none shall win
Titans collide - The gods return for us
Mortals fed with desire, the whim of divinity
Cataclysm before their eyes
Cities crumbled into the sea
They caught a glimpse of nevermore
Drowned empires for all eternity...
Glacial tears brought the deluge
From the depths echoes the call
Ancient ones shall awake once more
Resurrected to free us all
Out of death shall come new life
The druids still wait for a sign
Thus another epoch has ended
Giving birth unto our time
Titans collide - The gods return for us
Mortals fed with desire, the whim of divinity
The lyrics of "Let the Titans Collide" by Ironsword depicts a world where druids pray to the altar stone to revive the world as it was during ancient times when men and gods walked the earth in harmony. But the balance was disrupted, and nature's wrath was unleashed as the skies burned. Mortals are depicted as being filled with sinful desire and at the mercy of the whims of the divine. However, some still dared to enslave the gods from above, in a bid to enjoy the universe's spoils. This led to a massive battle, where titans collide, in the greatest battle ever seen, resulting in a cataclysmic end where drowned empires signify nevermore.
The lyrics are evocative of ancient mythology and are contemplative of the themes of power and the consequences of exploiting and enslaving the divine. The song suggests that such actions are bound to lead to catastrophic outcomes, and mortals should work in harmony with nature and the divine for a better world. The song offers a sobering reflection on the dangers of power-seeking and rampant desires.
