Voyage of the Sun Chaser
Smoulder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Warning signs, all thirteen came true
Ancient trees wept blood
Black fog rolls across the land
A mountain of fire
Crest of the gods' ire
We survived the storm
A great upheaval has occurred
Some prayers were not heard
The stars have never lied
Our position can not be denied
Supreme is the task
That which I have been asked
The flames test our faith
The King Priest still awaits
Ascension is his fate
There's no turning back
He stood upon the arch
Of Paladine's Gate!
The gods have abandoned thee
Istar now lies under the sea
The lyrics of Smoulder's song "Voyage of the Sunchaser" depict a narrative of impending doom and the journey of a group of individuals through a catastrophic event. The opening lines capture a sense of foreboding as the warning signs are present and seemingly confirmed with the weeping of ancient trees and the arrival of a black fog. The following verses describe a mountain of fire, symbolizing the wrath of the gods, and a survival against a great storm that surpasses anything experienced before. However, there is a sense of ambiguity as some prayers remain unanswered and the stars' positions imply an inescapable fate.
The song then shifts to a supreme task that the singer has been assigned, likely referring to a sacred duty or quest. The flames represent a test of faith, and the mention of the King Priest awaiting ascension adds to the urgency and importance of their mission. The inability to turn back suggests a determination to fulfill this task regardless of the challenges faced.
The climax of the lyrics occurs when the singer stands upon the arch of Paladine's Gate, a significant location that further emphasizes the divine nature of their mission. The gods are believed to have abandoned the city of Istar, which is now submerged under the sea. This final line signifies a level of devastation and reinforces the gravity of the events unfolding in the song.
