For Salvation...
Noctuary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For god they lived to suffer.
Suffering for life,
To die without a soul.
Remains of a dying light,
The son, of one, was followed.
For years they suffered in pain,
Wasting their lives, he brang
Nothing more than pain.
In your eyes, your god, we kill.
In our souls a god never revealed.
His kingdom a wasted lie,
To die you will all fall.
Reason beyond sight,
A vision all will see.
Wasting their lives, he came
To destroy and force their hate.
To destroy the divine light,
For god they suffer.
The lyrics to Noctuary's song For Salvation poignantly capture the agony and sense of loss that arises when individuals suffer for their beliefs, sometimes laying down their lives in service of their gods. The opening lines "They die again, forever. For god they lived to suffer" suggest a never-ending cycle of suffering and sacrifice, fuelled by faith in a higher power. Later on, the lyrics "In your eyes, your god, we kill. In our souls a god never revealed" take a piercing look at the paradoxical nature of religious beliefs and practices, where some might kill in the name of their god, while others maintain that there is no god at all.
The lines "His kingdom a wasted lie, to die you will all fall. Reason beyond sight, a vision all will see" point to a disillusionment with the idea of a divine kingdom or an afterlife, with the singer implying that such promises are empty and deceptive. Finally, the lyrics "To destroy the divine light, for god they suffer" speak of a violent and destructive approach to religious practice, where devotion is manifested through destruction and suffering.
