The Band are influenced by many artists, most noticably Celldweller, Paradise Lost, The Kovenant, DeathStars, Charon, In Flames and Rammstein. Lyrically they sing about Pain and Loss, however they have hinted that their songs have science fiction tendancies, similar to that of the band 'Coheed and Cambria'.
Signs
Luntara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To study their defence
Enter through the night sky
Overhead we silently fly
The fear of the unknown
Will bring mankind to its knees
The signs in the crops are telling us
We are the believers, we are the few
There is nothing we can do
Man will pray it′s not too late
Helping to seal Earth's fate
Signs
In the night sky
Signs
Overhead we fly
Signs
In the night sky
Signs
Silently we fly
They do not deserve this gift
Man treats the planet like shit
Use resources that remain
Take over the Earth′s terrain
Hide behind the raging storms
And wait for our time to rise
Chaos reigns on the streets below
People running in the traffic flow
The mighty city has become manic
No I will not join this panic
Terrified of the orbs above
My thoughts are with the ones I love
Signs
In the night sky
Signs
Overhead we fly
Signs
In the night sky
Sign
Silently we fly
The straw men gather on the hillside
Looking beyond the crashing tide
They saw the burning of the fields
That kept its meanings, its meanings sealed
A message etched in wheat and grain
Carved on the earth, symbolic stain
White collars ripped from their necks
Their faith in God put, to the test
Cult amass in church ruins
Waiting for the change to begin
Terror grips our hearts tight
Every movement gives us fright
(It gives us fright)
Is that a man upon the rooftops
I just don't know
I just don't know
Those who have enlightened eyes
Wander over barren skies
Humans don′t know how to react
Embrace new gods or to attack?
Add humanity to the list
This will be our conquest
Influence is subtle yet vast
Planet will be ours at last
Wait for another day
We settle beneath the rock and clay
Signs
In the night sky
Signs
Overhead we fly
Signs
In the night sky
Signs
Silently we fly
Signs
In the night sky
Signs
Overhead we fly
Signs
In the night sky
Signs
Silently we fly
Signs, signs, signs, signs

The lyrics of "Signs" by Luntara convey the message of extraterrestrial visitation and the inevitability of mankind's destruction. The song starts with references to the initial reconnaissance by aliens who are studying the earth's defenses and enter into the atmosphere through the night sky. There is an overwhelming fear of the unknown among humankind, which is emphasized by the lyrics, "The fear of the unknown will bring mankind to its knees." The stars and the signs in the crops serve as warning signs for the impending doom that is going to destroy the planet.
The song reflects on the way humankind treats the planet like crap, using up resources and taking over the Earth's terrain. The lyrics also note the chaos that reigns on the streets below and how the mighty city has become manic. However, despite all this chaos and destruction, the singer refuses to join the panic and stands by their belief.
The song's theme is post-apocalyptic and highlights the chaos that it would bring for the people who survive. It also reinforces the message of being conscious of our actions and how they affect the planet. The lyrics are not just about aliens coming to invade but about the way humanity is contributing to the destruction of the planet.
Line by Line Meaning
Initial reconnaissance
We begin our mission
To study their defence
To observe and analyze their defenses
Enter through the night sky
Approach unnoticed in the cover of darkness
Overhead we silently fly
We fly silently above
The fear of the unknown
Fear of what we do not understand
Will bring mankind to its knees
This fear can overpower all of humanity
The stars above are warning us
The stars in the sky are giving us a message
The signs in the crops are telling us
Crop signs are speaking to us
We are the believers, we are the few
Only a select few understand what is happening
There is nothing we can do
We have no control over the situation
Man will pray it's not too late
Humanity hopes it can still prevent disaster
Helping to seal Earth's fate
At the same time, human behavior is leading to destruction
They do not deserve this gift
Humans do not deserve the Earth, which is a gift
Man treats the planet like shit
Humans are exploiting the Earth and treating it poorly
Use resources that remain
Instead of preserving, humans are using natural resources without restraint
Take over the Earth's terrain
Humans are expanding without regard for the environment
Hide behind the raging storms
Despite the warning signs, humans continue to act recklessly
And wait for our time to rise
We wait for our opportunity to intervene
Chaos reigns on the streets below
The chaos of human society continues
People running in the traffic flow
Humans are running without direction
The mighty city has become manic
Civilization has become unmanageable
No I will not join this panic
We choose not to join this madness
Terrified of the orbs above
People are frightened by the mysterious orbs in the sky
My thoughts are with the ones I love
We think of our loved ones in this time of danger
The straw men gather on the hillside
The scarecrows gather on the hillside
Looking beyond the crashing tide
Watching the ocean waves, looking beyond
They saw the burning of the fields
The scarecrows witnessed the destruction of the crops
That kept its meanings, its meanings sealed
The crop circles had a message that humans could not decipher
A message etched in wheat and grain
The crops carried a message
Carved on the earth, symbolic stain
The crop circles are like a symbolic mark left on the Earth
White collars ripped from their necks
People are shedding their societal roles
Their faith in God put, to the test
Religious faith is being tested
Cult amass in church ruins
A group of people has gathered in a ruined church
Waiting for the change to begin
They are waiting for the shift in power or the apocalypse
Terror grips our hearts tight
Fear is taking hold of people
Every movement gives us fright
Every little thing is making people nervous
(It gives us fright)
Is that a man upon the rooftops
People are suspicious of everything and everyone
I just don't know
We are unsure and fearful
Those who have enlightened eyes
The few people who understand the true situation
Wander over barren skies
They roam the empty, lifeless sky
Humans don't know how to react
Humanity is not responding to the situation properly
Embrace new gods or to attack?
Should we accept new powers or resist them?
Add humanity to the list
The other beings in the universe view us just like other creatures they have encountered
This will be our conquest
We will attempt to dominate the universe, but will be unsuccessful
Influence is subtle yet vast
The beings from beyond Earth are influencing us greatly without us realizing it
Planet will be ours at last
The Earth will ultimately belong to someone else
Wait for another day
We will continue our vigil
We settle beneath the rock and clay
We take shelter underground
Signs
The warning signs
In the night sky
Visible in the dark sky
Overhead we fly
We are above, observing
Silently we fly
Our presence is not detected
