Seas of Conflict Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I am fading in the black of night
Slowly sinking into myself
I tried to make peace with the give and take
I stand here lightless
I tried to make peace with the give and take
You buried me
You buried me in the black of the night
You buried me
(Bury me)
You buried me in the black of the night
You took control of the light of day
Left me stranded in disarray
You took control of the light of day
Left me stranded in disarray
Disarray
You took the light of day
Left me stranded in disarray
I KNOW THE THINGS YOU DO
I KNOW THE TRUE YOU
The trickster in disguise
I've seen through all your lies
You're not the martyr that you claim to be
You're not the martyr that you claim to be
I know the true you
I see the things that you do
Give me back the fire
Give me back the fire
I will bury you, like you buried me
I will take it back
Darkness is now my companion, and when I see him with another
I'll give them light to replace it, for I am possessive
Darkness is mine, and when I see him with another
I'll give them light to replace it, for I am possessive
Darkness is mine
Darkness is mine
Darkness is mine
For I am possessive
Until we meet again
I will reclaim my flame
I'll chain you to the mountain
And watch the eagle feast on your flesh
And I'll watch you, devoured by the eagle
Until we meet again
I will reclaim my flame
I'll chain you to the mountain
And watch the eagle feast on your flesh
On your flesh
The lyrics to "Prometheus" by Seas of Conflict evoke a powerful sense of loss and betrayal, with the singer feeling like they have been stripped of their power and left alone in the darkness. The repeated refrain of "You took the light" emphasizes the sense of theft and violation, as if the other person has stolen something precious from the singer. The sense of sinking and fading also captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by a massive loss.
The second half of the song takes a different turn, as the singer declares that they know the true nature of the other person and will not be silenced or beaten down. The lines "You're not the martyr that you claim to be / I know the true you / I see the things that you do" show a determination to call out the other person's hypocrisy and falsehood. The repeated refrain of "Give me back the fire" reflects a desire to reclaim what has been taken and to regain the power that was stripped away.
Overall, "Prometheus" is a powerful exploration of themes like betrayal, loss, and determination. The song speaks to the struggles of standing up for oneself and persevering through difficult times, even when it feels like everything has been lost.

You took the light
You stole the light from me
Now I am fading in the black of night
I'm slowly losing myself in darkness
Slowly sinking into myself
I'm falling into a pit of despair
I tried to make peace with the give and take
I attempted to reconcile with the loss
I stand here lightless
I'm left with nothing after the loss
You buried me
You left me to die
(Bury me)
Reinforcing the idea of being buried alive
You buried me in the black of the night
You abandoned me in darkness
You took control of the light of day
You took away my source of hope
Left me stranded in disarray
You left me lost and confused
Disarray
A state of chaos and confusion
I KNOW THE THINGS YOU DO
I'm aware of your actions
I KNOW THE TRUE YOU
I'm familiar with your real self
The trickster in disguise
You're deceiving others
I've seen through all your lies
I know the truth about you
You're not the martyr that you claim to be
You're not a selfless hero
I know the true you
I'm aware of your real character
I see the things that you do
I observe your actions
Give me back the fire
I demand the return of what you took
I will bury you, like you buried me
I'll make you suffer like you made me suffer
I will take it back
I'll retrieve what was taken from me
Darkness is mine
I now possess the darkness
And when I see him with another
And if I see someone else with it
I'll give them light to replace it
I'll give them what I took
For I am possessive
I want to keep what's mine
Until we meet again
This is not over yet
I will reclaim my flame
I'll get back what was taken from me
I'll chain you to the mountain
I'll make sure you can't escape
And watch the eagle feast on your flesh
I'll enjoy your suffering
On your flesh
Emphasizes the gruesome image
