From cross to flame
Sumatra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have expelled your only ally
You will regret about it
But you cannot return this time
And now begins new age of battle for the truth
But it has given him the strength for fight with you
His honor more powerful then your deceit
Prepare for greatest war of all history of world
You fear, you can't hide it behind the mask of the charity
His wing burns fire, eyes shine by revenge
And soul starts feeling the power of the real God
Which helps his minds, which helps his reason
Don't be afraid, you, in this bloody massacre
This' start of game
Start of your falling
This' start of game
Start of your falling
For truth
And now begins new age of battle for the truth
You thought he's died under pressure of the tons of ground
But it has given him the strength for fight with you
Your time has gone
It's birth of son
Fair prophet
Your time has gone
It's birth of prophet
In “From Cross to Flame,” Sumatra sings about a battle for truth and the consequences of expelling an ally. The lyrics suggest that the singer of the song has made a grave error by expelling their only ally. Now, they are regretful and cannot take back what they have done. The singer begins a new age of battle for the truth, but they will face their former ally, who they believed to have died under tons of ground. However, this tragedy only strengthened their former ally’s will and they have returned with the power of the real God.
The battle will be a bloody massacre and the enemy cannot hide behind the mask of charity. Their former ally’s honor is more powerful than their deceit. The singer fears this battle and their falling from power. Meanwhile, their opponent is reborn, a fair prophet leading the way. Ultimately, the song speaks to the cyclical nature of history and the push and pull of truth and deceit.
