While doing demos and gigs in France, Daemonic Alchemy signed on a english label in 2003, after having recorded a promo at the Drudenhaus studio. Unfortunately, the label did not fulfill the obligations of the contract and the band was forced to stop it's career in 2004, with a unreleased album.
At the autumn 2004, Daemonic Alchemy's members were contacted by the american label Forever Underground. Scars Of Chaos took shape, without Frost, to walk in the path of Daemonic Alchemy. The album, named Daemonic Alchemy, was released in april 2005.
Today, Scars Of Chaos is waiting to release it's next album Humanitarian War Machine scheduled for spring 2007 on Black Square Records.
Awaken
Scars of Chaos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Plus de rage, plus d?ennemis, plus d?id?al, plus de cauchemars
Eveilles toi, bient?t plus jamais tu ne sentiras
Le sel, dans un avenir min?ral
Awaken and welcome us to your funeral
Contemplate of your light the dusk
Life was a dream and in a void you drawn
Plus de d?sir, la s?ve du mal
La frustration, la fin des sens
Dans cette prison implose la faiblesse
L?hypocrisie qu?on encense
Awaken and welcome us to your funeral
Contemplate of your light the dusk
Life was a dream and in a void you drawn
Give your farewell to the chaos in us
Plus de haine, marquons nos enfants au fer rouge, ?prouvons leurs cha?nes
Plus de r?volte, l?or saint les punira et notre dieu se d?cha?ne
Rejoins la masse
Abaisse les armes
Rejoins les larves
Ceux qu?on ?crase
Do not seek anything, no more
I am the answer, yet no words
No thought will came from me
No path that you will see
Still, welcome and accept my gift
You won?t fear the end, no more
You won?t envy life, feelings
You will rot like a dead corpse
Eveilles toi, mis?rable
Je t??plucherai l??me
Je te lac?rerai de mes griffes
Je laisserai ton esprit ? vif
Je d?voilerai ? tes yeux
L?aspect de ton nouveau dieu
Je d?truirai ton avenir
J??toufferai tes cris
Plus de r?ves, plus de nuits, plus de vie, plus d?espoirs
Plus de rage, plus d?ennemis, plus d?id?al, plus de cauchemars
The lyrics to Scars of Chaos's song "Awaken" explore the themes of despair, chaos, and acceptance of one's fate. The chorus repeats the phrase "Awaken and welcome us to your funeral" which implies that the song's narrator is addressing someone who is at the end of their life or nearing death. The first verse speaks about how there are no more dreams, nights, life, or hopes left, and that there is nothing left to feel except rage, enemies, and nightmares. The second verse continues this theme of hopelessness, but also mentions the sowing of evil, the end of senses, and the implosion of weakness.
The third verse takes a darker turn as it discusses the marking of children with the "iron of punishment" and the unleashing of "holy gold" upon them. The final lines of this verse urge the listener to join the "masses" and to stop fighting against their impending fate. The final stanza presents a twisted gift to the listener: the promise of acceptance of their fate, and a release from the fear of death and envy of life. The lines "You won't fear the end, no more / You won't envy life, feelings / You will rot like a dead corpse" offer a bleak but strangely comforting acceptance of death as simply the end of feeling, rather than an eternal punishment.
Overall, "Awaken" offers a dark and harrowing portrayal of the acceptance of death and the chaos that can arise in the face of it. The lyrics imply that all that is left in the end is rage and hopelessness, but that through acceptance of one's fate, there can be a strange sense of peace.
