Ancient One
Luna Obscura Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A new Era will begin
When I will rise to my throne
Dark Clouds in the sky
Your eyes will never see the dawn

With spells and witchcraft
I?m chained below
And the birds can?t fly
Above the ocean of loss

I AM THE ANCIENT ONE
MY NAME IS WRITTEN IN TIME
I AM THE FLESHLESS
I AM THE WATCHER AT THE END OF LIFE

Behold my kingdom
When The dead will rise
Spirits that once were good
Now bring me lives

With hearts and emotions
I will feed my hunger
With fear and pain
I will lead my hunters

I AM THE ANCIENT ONE
MY NAME IS WRITTEN IN TIME




I AM THE FLESHLESS
I AM THE WATCHER AT THE END OF LIFE

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Luna Obscura's "The Ancient One" speak to the rise of a powerful and malevolent ruler who is using spells and witchcraft to control those around them. This being claims to be the "Ancient One" and exists beyond physical form as they have no flesh. As this ruler sits on their throne, the people around them are kept in darkness and prevented from seeing the light of the dawn. The lyrics tell a story of a ruler who is driven by their insatiable hunger for power, and the lengths they are willing to go to maintain their control over the kingdom.


The imagery in the lyrics speaks to a world where magic and darkness reign supreme, and the references to spirits and the dead rising from their graves lend an eerie quality to the song. The kingdoms of the Ancient One are steeped in fear and pain, and the people are led by hunters looking to sate the ruler's unquenchable thirst for power. The lyrics ultimately depict a world where darkness has taken over, and the ruler in power has become an unstoppable force that will continue to reign over their kingdom with an iron fist.
