Consensus
Schammasch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

de la chair
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
of life's decay

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

Overall Meaning

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.

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!

ovd806

Can't wait to purchase and hear the new cd.

Marcocolo Ampuero

Excellent track

Jared Arbizu

Pre-ordering this immediately.

A.G.Z.

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

+Ariel González Man who said that? Blackwater park was produced less than month and it's masterpice, imo one of the best album throughout metal history. Same as You I am lookin forward to triangle, consensus is awesome.
