Great Old Ones
Rage Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once, eons back in time from here
Long before man was born
They came from somewhere out of space
Shaped the young planet's face

And more, they made all to be, everything we see is their work
So good, the system and it?s frame played a perfect game
Until the other came...

It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...

So everything was good to be
When some would fall from grace
Birth of the evil energy
Fear reaches back in those days

And hell wasted all to be, all the bad we see is it's work
To save the system and it's frame, the Soundchaser came
Some call them Perfect man...

It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...

Life carried on for the great old ones

In the planets history there are secrets, you will see
Our nature has a source. Good or evil comes from those...
And all, all their secret deeds never could complete what they need

Cause hell wasted all to be, all the bad we see; 'till the Soundchaser came...

It was all for the great old ones
Those who created life
And life carried on and on and on
They gave all for the great old ones
Under the new born sun
Where life carried on and on and on...

Life carried on for the great old ones

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Great Old Ones" seem to refer to an ancient civilization that existed eons before humanity on Earth. They came from outer space and shaped the young planet, creating life as we know it. Their creation was perfect and played a perfect game until the birth of evil energy. This negativity caused by some of their own eventually led to the arrival of the "Soundchaser", a savior-like character that came to save the system and restore balance to the world.

The lyrics emphasize the idea that everything we see and know is based on the work of these Great Old Ones. They gave all to create life and allow it to carry on and on, even in the face of darkness and despair. These Great Old Ones were revered by some and maybe even considered god-like.

The mentioning of Soundchaser brings up a point to consider. Soundchaser, in mythology, is considered a scavenger or hunter of souvenirs from their prey. In the song, Soundchaser is described as the perfect being which could signify that there is a reliance on perfection. Though perfection cannot be created, it can be chased because the great old ones could not achieve their ultimate goal without a savior like character which is Soundchaser.

When some would fall from grace
However, some beings turned to evil

Birth of the evil energy
This resulted in the creation of negative energy

Fear reaches back in those days

The planet's history holds many secrets

Our nature has a source. Good or evil comes from those...
Good and evil come from the same source

And all, all their secret deeds never could complete what they need
Their actions were never enough to fulfill their purpose

Cause hell wasted all to be, all the bad we see; 'till the Soundchaser came...
Negative energy created all the evil in the world until the arrival of the Soundchaser

Life carried on for the great old ones
The great old ones continue to exist and thrive
