Conquest and Enslavement
Starseed Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Massive strikes
Superior forces
Swarms of offensive vessels are taking position in orbit
To guarantee the thundering nightmare
Unleashing their furious assault capacity

Concept of fear - Total enslavement
Extermination of non-human races
Exploitation for scientific experiments
Irresistible technical progress

Elite soldiers known for merciless proceeding
Disembarked from heavily armored troop-transports

Devastating hordes turn the atmosphere into a burning chaos
Take no prisoners, head for the objective
Extinguish the restive renegades, who fought a hopeless battle
The rebel scum will get their righteous punishment

By order of the emperor, a renewal of peace and order
Residing on his throne of honour, reign of power
His glorious battle fleet, controlling the imperial routes
Patrolling the frontier, and expand
Ruling with viciousness, in the mind of his subjects
The master of the dark side, of the all-embracing force
The secret to set the roots for conquest and enslavement

By order of the emperor, a renewal of peace and order
Residing on his throne of honour, eternal reign of power

Massive strikes
Superior forces
Swarms of offensive vessels are taking position in orbit
To guarantee the thundering nightmare
Unleashing their furious assault capacity

Concept of fear - Total enslavement
Extermination of non-human races
Exploitation for scientific experiments
Irresistible technical progress





By order of the emperor, a renewal of peace and order
Residing on his throne of honour, eternal reign of power

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Starseed's song "Conquest and Enslavement" depict a sci-fi scenario of an evil empire launching a brutal assault to conquer and enslave other races for their own gain. The verses describe the overwhelming power and merciless tactics of the invading army, who are equipped with advanced technology and trained soldiers that show no mercy to their enemies. The chorus repeats the phrase "By order of the emperor, a renewal of peace and order, residing on his throne of honour, eternal reign of power," which suggests that the conquering force justifies their actions as a way to bring stability and control to the galaxy, while actually serving the selfish interests of the Empire's rulers.


The lyrics convey a strong message about the dangers of unchecked power and ruthless ambition, and how the thirst for domination can lead to cruelty and destruction. The words "concept of fear" and "total enslavement" emphasize the psychological manipulation and brutal tactics used to control the conquered races, who are seen as inferior and expendable. Furthermore, the line "exploitation for scientific experiments" suggests that the invaders are not only interested in enslaving the other races but also in experimenting and exploiting them for their own technological advancements.


Overall, "Conquest and Enslavement" is a powerful song that depicts a dystopian future where oppression and violence reign supreme.
