Eclipse
Obscure of Acacia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When will this end
My eyes refuse to believe me
We can't stop digging our own graves
Worshipping the golden calf
We destroy the world that does not belong to us

Our hands are bound
By our own indifference
Stand back and see what we have done to ourselves
We're nothing more than just a shadow of what we could have become

Is it really hard to understand
That there's no one in charge but us
For leading this world to it's very end
What will our children say
When everything they'll see
Will be just scorched land
Turning our corpses into burning ashes

So what we have achieved
From pursuing money as our home keeps falling apart

I pray for the downfall of today's empires
Because humanity won't last too long living this way
Treating own brothers like cattle, I want to scream
While everything that illuminates our future is just a flame of endless war
I hope we'll rise to fight back the faceless gods that corrupt our minds with their false promises

Is it really hard to understand
That there's no one in charge but us
For leading this world to it's very end
When everything they'll see
Will be just scorched land
Turning our corpses into burning ashes

We should not be afraid to reshape our minds in
Order to see the light in the depth of the abyss we dragged ourselves in

I can hardly figure out
How we could be so blind
To let all those false shepards bury us by the ocean tides
They say that ignorance that ignorance is bliss
But people won't believe all stupid shit they'll ever say

Say that we would fuckin' fix all terrible mistakes
That we did in the past before it is too late

We will rise from the dust of a fallen world




We will rise we'll find salvation in our hopes
We will rise
