Skyfall
Obtenebris Lyrics

Words bewitching, prophecies are sold
The power of language can be enchanting and misleading, with people often selling false predictions and promises.

We're drowning in an ocean
We are inundated with information and opinions, making it difficult to distinguish between what is true and what is not.

Among the shit that is spoken
There is a lot of noise in the conversation, with many useless and unhelpful opinions being shared.

Separate the meek from the bold
Distinguishing between the weak and the strong can help to determine who is capable enough to cut through the noise and rhetoric in order to find the truth.

In time all empires fall
History tells us that no empire or system lasts forever, and so we should always be prepared for change and evolution.

From fools to bitter war
Often, conflicts arise from foolish decisions or misunderstandings, leading to violent confrontations and war.

And to those who ignore
Those who choose to ignore warnings or lessons from the past may be doomed to repeat its mistakes.

I say suffer the loss of all
Choosing to ignore warnings can lead to catastrophic consequences and the loss of everything.

Control the drones
Sometimes people are controlled, manipulated or directed in ways that limit their freedom and autonomy.

People are lost
When people are controlled, they may lose their sense of self and their ability to make independent decisions.

Useless reforms
Some reforms or changes may be superficial, empty or ineffective.

Repeat the past
Without genuine change, mistakes from the past may be repeated and lessons left unlearned.

Icy storms of violence fill the air
The atmosphere is filled with aggression and hostility, making it feel chilly and unsafe.

Battles waged for greed
Many wars and conflicts are fought over resources, money and power instead of for principle or defense.

All consumption therefore will impede
The drive for more consumption of resources and wealth only serves to slow progress and hold us back.

All we do is sit and stare
Despite seeing the issues, we often fail to take action or make a difference, maintaining a sense of paralysis.

Brothers forced to slay their kind
War can lead to otherwise friendly and familial relationships to turn into violent confrontations.

Endure the burning flesh
The violence of war can have a physical and emotional toll on everyone involved, leading to tremendous pain and suffering.

When they march to certain death
Some people are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice, giving up their own lives for a cause or principle they believe in.

They leave their future behind
By choosing to fight and die, some people are leaving behind a future family, a legacy and an unfinished life.

And chaos will reign
When conflicts are unresolved, chaos and disorder can continue to reign in the world, making it a dangerous place.

Servants sent to die
When leaders or rulers make poor decisions, ordinary people are often the ones who suffer and pay the price.

The blackest corruption
When people in power abuse their position, it can lead to widespread dishonesty, distrust and wrongdoing.

Bringing the skyfall
When everything falls apart, it can seem like the sky is falling down, with no hope in sight.

Strangled by the poisoned breath
Sometimes people or systems can be corrupted by toxic ideas or ideals, leading to destructive behavior and outcomes.

All paradises burn
Even the most idealized and perfect places can be destroyed, lost or ruined by violence and war.

Passed the point of no return
Sometimes events and situations have reached a point where it is impossible to go back or change course, leading to inevitable consequences.

They sent us to our deaths
Some people have the power to send others to fight and die in their own wars or conflicts, leading to tremendous loss and tragedy.
