The Song Which No Name Carry
Peccatum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The arms of the present
Darkness was made into
Something even darkes
While the vague shadow
Was made into a manifesto
And as the axe of truth fell
I died
He shalt be reborn
And in an unknown
Manifestation he shalt
Again wander the earth
And he shalt be reborn
I died; I died again;
I died even once more
The soul of mine could
Fly its wings belonged
To the angel of death
And it showed me the way
Of everlasting raindrops
As I died
As the angelic rain wept
Passed the wings of death
I was again put to the sword
With desire crying for
The tears of the lord
And as much as I longed
He never revealed its secrets:
The madness where darkness
Transforms into darker darkness
Drops of rain covered me
And I finally become wet
Tears are dripping from me now
Down to the father of men
And you; my fellow angel;
Can inhale the spirits of no
Age and origin
Again...
And as she felt the rain; she died;
She died again; and she died even once more.
And they shalt be reborn
From where they were forlorn
With the power to destroy
Everything standing in their way
The Song Which No Name Carry by Peccatum is a mysterious and haunting song. The beginning of the lyrics describe how the past has led the singer to the present, and how darkness has become even darker. The vague shadow has become a manifesto, suggesting that something that was once unclear has taken on a clear purpose. The use of an axe of truth implies that something drastic and powerful has happened, and as a result, the singer has died.
In the next stanza, the singer describes how they will be reborn, but the details of this rebirth are unclear. They will come back in an unknown manifestation and wander the earth. The repetition of “I died” suggests that the death and rebirth cycle is ongoing, perhaps representing a spiritual or emotional transformation.
As the song continues, the singer describes how drops of rain cover them and they become wet, showing a physical transformation. Tears are dripping from them, suggesting that the rain may symbolize a form of emotional release or cleansing. The lyrics become more obscure as they describe inhaling the spirits of no age and origin and being able to destroy everything in their way. The final lines suggest that the rebirth process has not only affected the singer, but also others who were forlorn and now have the power to destroy.
Overall, The Song Which No Name Carry is a complex and symbolic representation of transformation and rebirth. The use of vague imagery and repetition of certain phrases contributes to the dark and haunting mood of the song.

The past led me into
My past experiences led me towards
The arms of the present
The embodiment of my present surrounds me
Darkness was made into
The darkness surrounding me was transformed
Something even darker
Into something even darker and more obscure
While the vague shadow
The ambiguous shadow
Was made into a manifesto
Was transformed into something more definite
And as the axe of truth fell
And as I came to terms with reality
I died
Part of me died inside
He shalt be reborn
A new version of myself will be born
And in an unknown
And in a mysterious
Manifestation he shalt
Form, he shall
Again wander the earth
Roaming the planet once more
And he shalt be reborn
And a new version of myself shall be born
I died; I died again;
A part of me kept dying
I died even once more
A part of me died even further
The soul of mine could
My soul has the ability
Fly its wings belonged
To soar with the wings that belong to
To the angel of death
The divine angel of death
And it showed me the way
Guiding me towards the path of
Of everlasting raindrops
The endless cycle of tears
As I died
While a part of me kept dying
As the angelic rain wept
As the divine tears of heaven fell
Passed the wings of death
Over the threshold between life and death
I was again put to the sword
I was tested once more
With desire crying for
While my strong desire yearned for
The tears of the lord
The sorrow and pain felt by God
And as much as I longed
Although I desperately desired
He never revealed its secrets:
God never disclosed his secrets
The madness where darkness
The insanity where the darkness
Transforms into darker darkness
Transforms into an even more obscure darkness
Drops of rain covered me
The raindrops fell upon me
And I finally become wet
And I finally became soaked
Tears are dripping from me now
Now tears are flowing from me
Down to the father of men
Descending upon humanity's creator
And you; my fellow angel;
And to you, my fellow celestial being
Can inhale the spirits of no
You can breathe in spirits with no
Age and origin
Discernable age or origin
Again...
Once more, again
And as she felt the rain; she died;
As she felt the divine rain, she died within
She died again; and she died even once more.
She perished again, and even further still
And they shalt be reborn
A new form will emerge
From where they were forlorn
From where they were lost and adrift
With the power to destroy
Empowered to vanquish and demolish
Everything standing in their way
Anything that impedes their path to transformation
