Consensus
Schammasch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
à la terre
trois faisceaux de lumière
i relieve my fragile hands
of his grasp that guided me
and set my heart on fire
while dancing thy dance
kephra by my side
your sun reveals what comes to pass
your rays accent the dying night
as i walk your path in ecstasy
secrets burn divinely
truth may come with a million faces
this i can see now at last
truth is already here
speaking through waves of unbalance
with voices so silent and pure
so drastic, so dead
without words, with no sound
yet so deeply inducing
for those eager to receive
i will not compromise my truth
for anyone or anything
for i can see now at last
that i am already free
to reach consensus on death
thy wisdom, thy aspect of truth in all that is holy
beseech this final breath
thy essence unsealed by poison divine
and tear down all these bonds to become the solution of every concept of truth
as thy hands are unbound, thy spirit is free
and enlightened by the brightly burning tree
a leap in the dark
undetermined
insecure
echoes of fear resounding through these halls
as prayers from the past
ad mortem sic vita
fluit velut ad mare flumen
ad inferos descensus
ad lucem
ad indefinitum
through wind and through fire
my guidance is yours
as you become my devotee
and from deathless desire
through all that obscures
you will be unburdened
and finally see
so rise my descendant
from unfolding depths
now encircled by grace
in three rays of light
so pure, so resplendent
is he who accepts
my presence in all
with utmost insight
moriendum est
consesus
qui habet
aurem audiat
quid spiritus
dicat ecclesiis
qui vicerit
non laedetur a morte
secunda
from carnal desire to soil
two pillars to reunite
from carnal desire to soil
in three rays of light
The lyrics of Schammasch's song "Consensus" are incredibly deep and philosophical, contemplating the meaning of life and death, and seeking the truth that lies within. The first stanza speaks of the transition from the physical body to the earth, represented by "three beams of light." The following stanza is a declaration of individual freedom and the refusal to compromise one's beliefs in the search for truth. The third stanza speaks of the power of silence and the reception of truth by those who are willing to receive it. The fourth and fifth stanzas contemplate death and the solution to the concept of truth, while the final stanza speaks of acceptance and the reunification of two pillars through three rays of light.
Throughout the song, there are references to Khepri, the ancient Egyptian god of creation and rebirth, and the bright burning tree, symbolizing enlightenment and spiritual growth. The lyrics are introspective and insightful, inviting the listener to dive deep into their own thoughts and beliefs, and to question what they have been taught about life and death.
In summary, "Consensus" is a thought-provoking song that challenges our perceptions of life and death, and encourages us to seek the truth, even if it means breaking free from societal norms and expectations.

trois faisceaux de lumière
Three beams of light
i relieve my fragile hands
I let go of his hand that was leading me
of his grasp that guided me
I release myself from his control
and set my heart on fire
And ignite my passion
while dancing thy dance
While living life
of life's decay
Of the natural end of things
kephra by my side
God of creation is with me
your sun reveals what comes to pass
Your light shows me what is happening
your rays accent the dying night
Your light emphasizes the end of the day
as i walk your path in ecstasy
As I journey on this road happily
secrets burn divinely
Mysterious knowledge is amazing
truth may come with a million faces
The truth has many forms
this i can see now at last
I finally understand this
truth is already here
The real knowledge is present somewhere
speaking through waves of unbalance
Calling out in times of uncertainty
with voices so silent and pure
With noiseless, clear speech
so drastic, so dead
So severe, so lifeless
without words, with no sound
Without speech or noise
yet so deeply inducing
But inducing intensely
for those eager to receive
For those willing to listen
i will not compromise my truth
I won't sacrifice my belief
for anyone or anything
For anyone or anything else
for i can see now at last
Because I can finally see this
that i am already free
That I am already liberated
to reach consensus on death
To come to an agreement about death
thy wisdom, thy aspect of truth in all that is holy
Godly knowledge as the purest perception of truth
beseech this final breath
Requesting the end of life
thy essence unsealed by poison divine
The hidden purity extracted through godly force
and tear down all these bonds to become the solution of every concept of truth
Breaking free from all obstacles and becoming the solution to all truth
as thy hands are unbound, thy spirit is free
As the chains are removed, the soul is free
and enlightened by the brightly burning tree
And illuminated by the blazing tree
a leap in the dark
Jumping into the unknown
undetermined
Without a fixed outcome
insecure
Uncertain
echoes of fear resounding through these halls
Echoes of panic throughout this building

As blessings from time gone by

Through turbulence and danger
my guidance is yours
My assistance is yours
as you become my devotee
As you become my follower
and from deathless desire
And from infinite passion
through all that obscures
Through all the unseen things
you will be unburdened
You will be relieved of your troubles
and finally see
And can finally understand
so rise my descendant
So rise my successor
from unfolding depths
From the depths that are being revealed
now encircled by grace
Now surrounded by the divine
in three rays of light
In the trinity of illumination
so pure, so resplendent
So spotless, so shining
is he who accepts
He who believes
my presence in all
My influence in everything
with utmost insight
With the deepest understanding

In the trinity of illumination
from carnal desire to soil
From a worldly want to dust

MASTERPIECE 🖤
Jared Arbizu
Have I said that this is brilliant? Because this is fucking brilliant. I was somewhat worried that they might not be able to top Contradiction, because that album is amazing, but this certainly seems like it's going to transcend even that masterwork.
Simone Cioppa
Listening to it should be a fantastic trip!

A few months ago someone said something like "Composition of a new-good album cannot be done in one year"...so, I was like a, wtf he is talking about?
and now, I'd like that the person who though and said that, can listen this AMAZING and NEW MASTERPIECE song and try to swallow those words that he had said.
It's simple, "Triangle" will be one of the best albums in 2016 or the BEST ONE of the year!!!
Just saying
Taset90
