Era
Subvergence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The end of what we've lived upon
This is the end of your dominant era
Illusions of the feast I see
Gluttony, upon achieving misery
Pillars of the pantheon
Shatter the earth
Rise to the clouds
Lingering, waiting to break out
As the fog clears, the runes ascend from their tomb
Writing down the formula to obliteration
As a child that's stuck in the womb
I will implode this trojan horse
Betraying my legion with no remorse
For better or for worse
I will end this battle before it even gets endorsed
The circle has found its corner
My creation is just around the border
Long forgotten, forever disregarded
He will draw you out until you're fully diverted
Illusions of the feast I see
Gluttony, upon achieving misery
The adherence of my perception
Is the motive to my inception
The promised land where the caption
Lies underneath a false perfection
As the fog clears, the runes ascend from their tomb
Writing down the formula to obliteration
Look to the horizon from your east
As I march with total insanity
This isn't war, this is a murder feast
And once again the runes start to pulse around me
They mark the era of the beast

This is the end
The culmination of everything we have experienced
The end of what we've lived upon
The conclusion of the dominant era we have relied on
This is the end of your dominant era
The downfall of your reign of power
Illusions of the feast I see
The deceptive illusions of abundance I perceive
Gluttony, upon achieving misery
Indulging in excess leads to suffering
Pillars of the pantheon
The foundational gods of society
Shatter the earth
Causing a major disruption
Rise to the clouds
Ascending to great heights
Murmurs of a demon
Whispers of a malevolent entity
Lingering, waiting to break out
Persisting and biding its time to unleash chaos
As the fog clears, the runes ascend from their tomb
As clarity emerges, ancient symbols of power come to the forefront
Writing down the formula to obliteration
Documenting the method for total destruction
As a child that's stuck in the womb
Like an unborn child confined and restrained
I will implode this trojan horse
I will inwardly collapse this deceptive vessel
Betraying my legion with no remorse
Turning against my own army without regret
For better or for worse
Regardless of the outcome
I will end this battle before it even gets endorsed
I will terminate the conflict before it gains support
The circle has found its corner
The cycle has reached its turning point
My creation is just around the border
My creation is on the verge of realization
Long forgotten, forever disregarded
Neglected and ignored indefinitely
He will draw you out until you're fully diverted
He will manipulate and distract you completely
The adherence of my perception
The loyalty to my perspective
Is the motive to my inception
Is the driving force behind my creation
The promised land where the caption
The land of hope and fulfillment
Lies underneath a false perfection
Is concealed beneath an illusory state of flawlessness
Look to the horizon from your east
Gaze towards the eastern horizon
As I march with total insanity
As I advance with complete madness
This isn't war, this is a murder feast
This is not just a war, it is a brutal massacre
And once again the runes start to pulse around me
Once more, the symbols throb with energy around me
They mark the era of the beast
They signify the age of the savage creature
