The Offering
Shaman's Harvest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are the used to be mislead
We are the bastards
May you never take us home
Get in
Give in
Get in
Get in
Give in
Get in
Give in
It's prophesied the world will end
And culminate in fiery dust
There’s nothing left for those to come
Caesar will bring the fall out and
In an instance two deep breaths
Using quickly what is left
So put your back against the cliff
There’s naught but thin air to resist
We are the offering of the dead
We are the used to be mislead
We are the bastards
May you never take us home
So take precaution when we come
So make the best of all to some
Take your shot you'll be much better when we're gone
Get in
Give in
Get in
Give in
Get in
Give in
Get in
Give in
Now as they watch fires burning low
And hope resides in fading trust
Assimilate or be drawn in
Never could add the sum
I'll have an instant to take a breath
Using quickly what is left
So put your back against the fence
It's naught but thin air
We are the offering of the dead
We are the used to be mislead
We are the bastards
May you never take us home
So take precaution when we come
So make the best of all to some
Take your shot you'll be much better when we're gone
When we're gone
The lyrics to Shaman's Harvest's "The Offering" describe the concept of sacrifice and how humanity is the offering of the dead, the ones who came before us. The line "May you never take us home" implies a desire to prolong our time on Earth and avoid being taken to the afterlife. The song also references the end of the world, with the lyrics stating that it is prophesied to end in fiery dust and that there will be nothing left for future generations. The character of Caesar is mentioned as the one who will bring about this destruction.
As the song continues, there is a sense of urgency in the lyrics, with the repeated lines "Get in, Give in." The lyrics speak to the idea that we must accept our fate and make the best of what time we have left. The line "Assimilate or be drawn in" suggests that we must adapt to our surroundings or risk being consumed by them.
Overall, "The Offering" is a complex song that explores themes of sacrifice, mortality, and the end of the world. It offers a warning about the consequences of not taking care of our planet and society and encourages us to make the best of the time we have left.
