Krampus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Extinguished by themselves
Weakness unarmed
Overwhelmed by nature's wrath
Signs of fear
It's everything remains of the self-confidence
Mankind on his knees
Like the animals rummaging on their trash
Revenge!
Earth, Wind and Fire against your technology
Now learn
What's the post where you belong
Barriers!
Meltdown by the anger belched out the scars of the Earth
Signs of abuse
Tides turned there is no escape
What did you thought from your sweet houses
Embraced in your safe warm
While staring out the window
Expecting the soft sun rays
Watching
The unstoppable force of something
You assumed to be
Forever enlsaved in your vanity?
This is your doom
Sentence and fate
What you deserved
Behold
Your symbols wreckage on your pride
Your reckless hunger bites your senseless void
Your idols drowned in the mud
Phagocytized by the Earth
We thought we were invincible
We tried to be immortal
Our vanity drove us into madness
Nobody saw how close was the end
We were not gods.
We failed
Revenge!
Earth, Wind and Fire against your technology
Now learn
What's the post where you belong
Barriers!
Meltdown by the anger belched out the scars of the Earth
Signs of abuse
Tides turned there is no escape
You survivor crawling out the dust
Open your blind eyes to the future
That you have the luck to see
Remember
How your world collapsed
Annihilated
By the fool march leading to the ruin
This is your doom
Sentence and fate
What you deserved
Behold
We burned
We were certain
We gorged ourselves
We never looked around
We wasted
We exploited to extinction
Desert
We thought everything was ours
Again, and again, and again
We ate nature we spit poison, garbage
We were humans.
The lyrics of Krampus's song "Aftermath" tell a story of the downfall of humanity as a result of their own actions. The song opens with the realization that the days of abundance and extravagance are over, and that humanity has been weakened and overwhelmed by nature's wrath. The signs of fear are evident everywhere and self-confidence is shattered. The arrogance of humanity has led to their downfall, and they find themselves on their knees, begging for the very things they had once disdained. The imagery of animals rummaging through trash serves as a metaphor for how humans have littered their world and destroyed their environment.
The chorus of the song speaks of revenge, with three of the natural elements - earth, wind, and fire - rising up against humanity's technology. The barriers that humans thought would protect them are now destroyed, and there is no escape from the anger belched out by the scars of the Earth. The song also speaks of humanity's arrogance and their belief that they are invincible and immortal. But their vanity and madness led them to believe that they were gods, and they failed. Now they must face the consequences of their actions.
The song serves as a warning about the dangers of exploiting and destroying the environment. It highlights the importance of protecting our planet before it's too late.

We used up all resources until nothing was left
Desert
A barren wasteland
We thought everything was ours
We believed we had ownership of everything
Again, and again, and again
Repeatedly, without hesitation
We ate nature we spit poison, garbage
We consumed natural resources and left behind pollution and waste
We were humans.
We were flawed and prone to mistakes

amazing !!! I love this music
SeverMetal
They sound a lot like Eluveitie that's true... but they also added a synthesizer, the growls are distinctively different than Chrigel's (from Eluveitie) and the lyrics are about an entirely different subject.
