Star-Crossed
Sahg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gave up the Earth to a treacherous kind
Proven superior with relentless might
They quench their thirst on the blood of their likes
Who suffer worse and forever will in death or life

Enforce the whole world with a wisdom profound
Of how to tread one's fellow man down
Dishonest means lead the way to the crown
And though he pleads he'll forever ever be

One more in the hands of mankind
Ravage the world far and wide
More fall in the path of mankind
Conquer and burn 'till no more is left to defile

When every land is raped with war
And blood is shed on every shore
When every source of life runs poor

What more?

Inside this wicked world
Pursuing our own kind
It's in your blood, it's in your head
Turn to the universe
A thousand wars to fight
It's in our blood until the end




The end
Bloodquest never ends

Overall Meaning

The song Star-crossed by Sahg is a reflective commentary on human tendencies towards treachery, violence, and aggression. The lyrics paint a picture of a world that has been colonized by a superior race, who have claimed it as their own and now dominate it by quenching their thirst on the blood of their own kind. The lines "Gave up the Earth to a treacherous kind/Proven superior with relentless might/They quench their thirst on the blood of their likes/Who suffer worse and forever will in death or life" depict the ruthless nature of the ruling class, who oppress and exploit those beneath them.


The song goes on to criticize the prevailing wisdom, which encourages people to tread on others to reach the top. Dishonesty and deception are seen as the norm and the means to gain power and wealth. As the song says, "Dishonest means lead the way to the crown/And though he pleads he'll forever ever be/One more in the hands of mankind". The end result is a world ravaged by war and destruction, where life's sources have all but dried up. The chorus "More fall in the path of mankind/Conquer and burn 'till no more is left to defile" illustrates how the human quest for domination and superiority has left nothing but ruins and misery in its wake.


The song ends with the poignant lines "Inside this wicked world/Pursuing our own kind/It's in your blood, it's in your head/Turn to the universe/A thousand wars to fight/It's in our blood until the end/The end/Bloodquest never ends". The lyrics suggest that humans are fated to forever repeat this cycle of violence and domination, with no hope for redemption.


Line by Line Meaning

Gave up the Earth to a treacherous kind
We relinquished our planet to a duplicitous species


Proven superior with relentless might
They have demonstrated their power over us ceaselessly


They quench their thirst on the blood of their likes
They satisfy their thirst by preying on their own kind


Who suffer worse and forever will in death or life
Those that they subjugate experience far worse fates, forever tormented even in death or life


Enforce the whole world with a wisdom profound
They impose a profound wisdom upon the entire world


Of how to tread one's fellow man down
Teaching all how to control, subjugate and crush their fellow man


Dishonest means lead the way to the crown
Deceitful methods guide the route to power


And though he pleads he'll forever ever be
Even if one pleads, one remains eternally under the thumb of the victor


One more in the hands of mankind
Another to be held captive by mankind


Ravage the world far and wide
Laying waste to the world without restraint


More fall in the path of mankind
Many more will face the destructive impact of human kind


Conquer and burn 'till no more is left to defile
Conquer and destroy until there is no more to ravage and corrupt


When every land is raped with war
When every area of land is subjected to the ravages of war


And blood is shed on every shore
And blood is spilled on every coastline


When every source of life runs poor
When every wellspring of vitality is depleted


What more?
What else is there rather than this?


Inside this wicked world
Within this malignant globe


Pursuing our own kind
Chasing after our own kind


It's in your blood, it's in your head
It is deeply ingrained within you


Turn to the universe
Look towards the cosmos for a solution


A thousand wars to fight
Countless battles to be fought


It's in our blood until the end
It is encased within our very essence until the end


The end
The finality


Bloodquest never ends
The quest for blood has no end

Easily best song off the second album. Maybe their best song overall. The change of pace in the middle of the song is just awesome.

Jana Elizabeth Sekelski
