The Gem
Priestess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A dark thought that lingers inside you
You left a crack in the doorway
What motivation propels you?
If that seal is torn, our fate is certain
Lay waste to all the Earth
We disappear
Ring down the curtain
No more illusions or lies
Our vile nature for hiding
Has opened up with the skies
Lay waste to all the Earth
We disappear
The one who ends all life becomes the hero
The ages are ending
Gone is the passing of time
Watch the angels descending
Gone is the holy divide
Lay waste to all the Earth
We disappear
The one who ends all life becomes the hero
Lay waste to all the Earth
We disappear
The one who ends all life becomes the hero
In the song "The Gem" by Priestess, the lyrics describe a dark thought that lingers inside someone who left a crack in the doorway. The lyrics imply that opening that doorway may lead to certain tragic events. The song speaks of laying waste to the Earth, disappearing and the one who ends all life becoming the hero. The lyrics suggest that our nature for hiding eventually opens up with the skies, revealing our true selves.
The ages are ending and the passing of time is gone. The angels are descending, and the holy divide is gone, implying a time of great change and possibly an apocalypse. The lyrics suggest that the one who ends all life, becoming the hero may seem like a triumphant conclusion but is ultimately a futile act.

Back across the ocean
Heading back from distant lands
A dark thought that lingers inside you
A negative idea that haunts your mind
You left a crack in the doorway
You created an opening for something unexpected
What motivation propels you?
What is driving you forward?
If that seal is torn, our fate is certain
If we let something dangerous out, we're all in trouble
Lay waste to all the Earth
Destroy everything on this planet
We disappear
We will be gone
The one who ends all life becomes the hero
The person who brings about the destruction is seen as a savior
Ring down the curtain
Bring an end to everything
No more illusions or lies
No more deception or falsehood
Our vile nature for hiding
Our wickedness has been concealed
Has opened up with the skies
Is now exposed for all to see
The ages are ending
The world as we know it is coming to a close
Gone is the passing of time
Time itself has stopped
Watch the angels descending
Witness the heavenly beings coming down to Earth
Gone is the holy divide
The separation between the sacred and the profane no longer exists
Lay waste to all the Earth
Destroy everything on this planet
We disappear
We will be gone
The one who ends all life becomes the hero
The person who brings about the destruction is seen as a savior
Lay waste to all the Earth
Destroy everything on this planet
We disappear
We will be gone
The one who ends all life becomes the hero
The person who brings about the destruction is seen as a savior
