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.
Celui Qui Hante
Scars of Chaos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il a le visage du fossoyeur de mon humanit?
Fascin? jusqu'? l'horreur du sang de mes veines
Il ne cesse de couler, menant ma destin?e
Celui qui hante chante la mort du r?ve
Psalmodiant son poison sans tr?ve
De mes yeux, il prend sa teinte au d?sespoir
A mes yeux, il rend leur vie insignifiante
Et ?rige au m?pris une statue ardente
*Celui qui hante m'apporte la haine
*Il a le visage du fossoyeur de mon humanit?
*Fascin? jusqu'? l'horreur du sang de mes veines
*Il ne cesse de couler, menant ma destin?e
La connaissance, son servant,
D?mon des lumi?res, mort des t?n?bres /
Amenant dans son sillage ses princes et suivants,
Sciences de notre n?gation/
L'?l?vation, son pendant de l'obscur, br?lante et fun?bre/
Elle r?sonne du chaos, de sa corruption...
Elle est ma?tresse de l'illusion/
Priez, mes fr?res, les dieux d'un panth?on sanglant
Agenouillez vous devant vos absurdes idoles
De ces cr?atures qui devaient servir votre ?lan
Aux noms desquelles des fid?les s'immolent
Heureux ceux qui meurent le sourire aux l?vres
Ignorants des visions la fi?vre...
*Celui qui hante m'apporte la haine
*Il a le visage du fossoyeur de mon humanit?
*Fascin? jusqu'? l'horreur du sang de mes veines
*Il ne cesse de couler, menant ma destine
The song "Celui Qui Hante" by Scars of Chaos, which translates to "He Who Haunts," is a powerful, emotional piece that speaks to the destructive nature of obsession and despair. The lyrics describe a figure who brings hate and destruction to the singer, taking on the persona of the gravedigger of their humanity - a symbol for the destructive forces inside of them. The singer is fascinated by this figure to the point of horror, unable to escape the grasp of their influence. The figure is constantly draining the singer's life force, leading them towards a bleak, uncertain future.
The focus on death and destruction continues in the next verse, with the figure singing the death of the singer's dreams and poisoning their thoughts continually. The singer sees the world around them dying through their own eyes, taking on a hopeless and meaningless tone. The world seems insignificant and the singer feels like an outcast, forced to bear witness to the devastation they believe they're causing. The final verse touches on the concept of knowledge and its correlation with corruption, as well as the idea of surrendering to violent, capricious gods that demand sacrifice and devotion.
Overall, "Celui Qui Hante" is a powerful piece that speaks to the struggles of dealing with internal turmoil and the destructive forces that can overwhelm us. It warns of the dangers of allowing darkness and despair to consume us and advocates for faith and hope despite the odds.
