Thermageddon
Svart Crown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The eternal promise
From the telluric source
You are none
Denial and greed
Are your instinct
Are your strength
The world won′t end with a bang
But with a whimper of your trivialities, inanities
And a silent scream from the abyss
Will rise
Will rise
Affliction, embrace it
Intuition, an ocean in demise
Eye for an Eye
A tooth for a life
The first law
The first rule
We are the angels of our fall
The enemies of ourselves
Our own predators
Wolves among the ashes
Affliction, embrace it
Intuition, an ocean in demise
Eye for an Eye
A tooth for a life
The first law
The first rule
We are the angels of our fall
The enemies of ourselves
Our own predators
Wolves among the ashes
Thermageddon
Thermageddon
Affliction, embrace it
Intuition, an ocean in demise
Eye for an Eye
A tooth for a life
The first law
The first rule
Ignis Terram
The lyrics of Svart Crown's song Thermageddon is a warning against humanity's destructive behavior towards the planet. It begins with a reference to the earth's fiery core, and how the promise of the planet's eternal source of life has been ignored by humans. The subsequent lines speak of the instinctual behaviors of denial, greed, ignorance, and arrogance that drive human actions. These are the traits that culminate in the demise of the planet, not with a bang, but with a whimper of inanities, a silent scream from the abyss that will eventually rise. The song's message is that humans are the angels of their own destruction, their own predators, wolves among the ashes.
The repeated lines "Affliction, embrace it. Intuition, an ocean in demise," seem to convey the idea that humanity needs to come to terms with the destruction caused by its actions and accept the pain that comes with it. The phrase "Eye for an eye, a tooth for a life, the first law, the first rule" is a reference to the ancient doctrine of retribution that is still prevalent in society. However, it can also be interpreted as humanity taking responsibility and making amends for the damage it has caused. Overall, the song's message is a call for humanity to be more conscious of their actions and take responsibility for the environmental damage caused.

Nuclear Blade Records
I'm from Sweden but i see that French metal is becoming little by little a cradle of excellent metal bands in various styles of metal (SVART CROWN, GOJIRA, IGORRR, CARCARIASS, BENIGHTED,...) that I'm sure will become the new headliners of European metal and for some of them the world's metal... ! You will see !

Their screamin guitar solos are always incredible. This track I hear Nile mixed with Behemoth with their influence.
Omar Ramirez

Luna Devise
@Omar Ramirez No, definitely not so much cattle decap.
