Rite
Poema Arcanus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These walls of stone have witnessed
How I've learned to praise the sun
Forces once spoke through me
And taught me their sacred song
Silently the stone... remembers... now
But I feel the earth, I hear the earth
Somber skies fall upon us
Feel this rage... unleashed?
My story won't be heard by the withered souls that laugh
But I feel the earth, I hear the earth
Speak to me of your beliefs and I will show you my gods
They'll rule over all, as you ignore... Ignore
My flesh and soul have been tied, with every little part
Something denied by this time, somehow my instincts understand
As one with nature, like a naked child
Longing for his mother's womb
My lonely rite shall live... as long as I
These walls of stone have witnessed
How I've learned to praise the sun
Forces once spoke through me
And taught me their sacred song
The verse describes about walls of stone that have witnessed the singer's spiritual journey. The singer has learned to worship the sun and the forces of nature have revealed a sacred song to the singer. The singer feels the earth and is in touch with nature but is an outcast in a time of blind spirits. The sky becomes somber and raging, and the singer's story won't be heard by the withered souls that laugh. The singer's beliefs are different, and the gods are different, but they will rule overall. The singer's flesh and soul have been tied to the earth and nature, denied by the current time, but the singer's instincts can understand it all. The singer feels that they are one with nature, like a child longing for his mother's womb. The singer's lonely rite will continue as long as the singer is alive.
