Prism
Kriegsmaschine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Raping and tearing the hopes of man.
Bless this mouth, bless this tongue,
poisoning the world with seed you�ve sown.
A putrid worm in every crust, an empty word, an aimless path,
the broken bonds, the traces lost, rotten seeds of corruptor,
the Lord our God!
Rejoice, ye faithful!
For all is in vain, a new sun is shining, the prism hath failed!
Warped are the patterns and converged is the light
that shall burn my eyes with miracles to be seen.
And shall this light turn thine children to ash!
Make my flesh a crystal, shining with its rays.
Infection shall grow with each and every word, until life continues,
to replace it with void...
The quote at the start of this song is taken from the movie Stigmata, it goes like this:
Who are you?
Il messaggero non � importante.
The lyrics to Kriegsmaschine's song "Prism" are a powerful and thought-provoking commentary on the destructive nature of humanity. The song begins with a call to bless the teeth and nails, a reference to the violence and brutality inherent in human nature. The lyrics then turn to the idea of poisoning the world with the seeds that we have sown, suggesting that our actions have grave consequences for the world around us.
Throughout the song, there are references to putrid worms, empty words, and aimless paths, all of which serve to highlight the nihilistic and destructive tendencies of humanity. The chorus calls on the faithful to rejoice, suggesting that the failure of the prism (a symbol of order and stability) means that a new era of chaos and destruction is at hand.
The final verse suggests that this chaos will ultimately consume us all, turning our children to ash and replacing life with void. Overall, the song paints a bleak picture of humanity and the destructive tendencies that we are all capable of.
