1) Root is a Czech metal legend from city of Brno founded in 1987 by Big Boss and Blackie. Root was one of the original pre-second-wave black metal bands, following in the footsteps of Bathory and Venom, while taking the genre in a more refined, less savage direction. Their style has since progressed towards a more epic, dark heavy metal sound with a clean-sung vocal approach, but their music can still be recognized as black metal at its core due to the unchanged ideology of the band. After the album Madness of the Graves (2003), Blackie left Root to concentrate on his band Cales. Blackie also played in side-project Entrails, an old school black-thrash metal band.

Root Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The parchment falls apart among my fingers
The mysterious prophesy I begin to read
Shall I comprehend the message
Someone had sent us?
When hours of Time come
And the Dark meets the Dark
When the Boy is blinded by sun
When two Cups are filled
One is blue and other is purple
When the Old Man devoures the New - Born Child
And changes into the Flame - into the Flame...
When the midnight Hand grinds the Egg
Black Bird flies up onto the Tree
When Winds bring the breath of Plague
And the Vulture strangles the Nightingale
And Zodiac falls into ashes
When Water starts rising up
And the Flame changes into Ice
When the Multi-arm Being appears - Being appears...
And Melek Taus sits down at her feet
When the Beauty swallows up the Ugliness
And the Pride is known as the Virtue
When the Sea Serpent wakes up
And brings the Gift to all people
Then you enter, oh, you Blind Creature,
Into the beginnings of the New Era!
In Roots' song "The Book," the singer flips through the pages of a mysterious book, questioning whether they can comprehend the prophetic message contained within. The lyrics depict a series of surreal and ominous events: a boy blinded by the sun, a girl turning to dust, an old man consuming a newborn child and transitioning into flames, a black bird flying up onto a tree when the midnight hand grinds the egg, and the rising of water and transformation of flame into ice. The lyrics also mention the appearance of a multi-armed being and Melek Taus, a prominent figure in Yazidi mythology.
The overall meaning of the lyrics is open to interpretation, but it seems to suggest a transformative period of chaos and destruction, followed by the emergence of something new and hopeful. The lyrics contain references to astrology, mythology, and apocalyptic imagery, creating a sense of mystery and foreboding. Despite the ominous tone of the lyrics, the final line suggests a hopeful note - the beginnings of a new era. The song invites reflection on the cyclical nature of history and the possibility of growth and rebirth in the aftermath of destruction.

I turn over the yellowish pages
I read the ancient pages that have turned yellow due to its age
The parchment falls apart among my fingers
The paper on which the message is written is in a crumbling state and falling apart as I touch it
The mysterious prophesy I begin to read
I am reading a foretelling that is shrouded in mystery
Shall I comprehend the message
I wonder if I will be able to understand the meaning of the message
Someone had sent us?
I ponder whether the message is sent by someone or something
When hours of Time come
In the time that is yet to come
And the Dark meets the Dark
When evil forces meet one another
When the Boy is blinded by sun
When someone who is unaware of the dangers is met with overwhelming brightness
And the Girl turns to dust
When someone beautiful turns to nothingness
When two Cups are filled
When two opposing forces are filled to the brim
One is blue and other is purple
One is calm and the other is chaotic
When the Old Man devours the New - Born Child
When old ways suppresses new ideas
And changes into the Flame - into the Flame...
And transforms into a new power
When the midnight Hand grinds the Egg
When time passes, revealing something new
Black Bird flies up onto the Tree
A dark force ascends to power
When Winds bring the breath of Plague
When disaster is on the horizon
And the Vulture strangles the Nightingale
When beauty is consumed by something sinister
And Zodiac falls into ashes
When the importance of astrology ceases
When Water starts rising up
When forces of nature start to act up
And the Flame changes into Ice
When something that was full of energy and passion transforms into something cold
When the Multi-arm Being appears - Being appears...
When a powerful force appears with all its might
And Melek Taus sits down at her feet
When a powerful entity sits down and commands respect
When the Beauty swallows up the Ugliness
When something beautiful overpowers something ugly
And the Pride is known as the Virtue
When people start valuing arrogance over humility
When the Sea Serpent wakes up
When a mighty being of the sea rises from slumber
And brings the Gift to all people
And bestows a blessing onto humanity
Then you enter, oh, you Blind Creature,
At that moment a person enters
Into the beginnings of the New Era!
Into a new era that promises change and transformation
