Northern Star
The Hole Lyrics

And I cry and no one can hear
I am in so much pain and despair, but no one can hear my cries for help.

Inhale
Take a deep breath to try and calm down.

The blinded eyes that see
Those who are blinded by their own beliefs and prejudices may not truly see what is happening around them.

The chaos
The world is full of disorder and confusion.

Bring the pitiful to me
I am willing to take in those who are suffering and give them comfort.

Even though I'm wide awake I will
Even though I am alert and aware, I still feel powerless to change my situation or help those around me.

And Blackest night and I wait for you
In the darkest times, I hope for someone to come and save me or provide guidance.

It's cold in here there's no one left
I feel isolated and alone, with no one around me.

And Nothing stops it happening
There seems to be no way to prevent the negative events that are taking place in the world.

And I knew I'd cherish all my misery alone
I always knew that I would have to endure my own suffering without anyone else to help or understand me.

And I wait staring at the Northern Star
I am fixated on the hope provided by the star as a symbol of guidance and direction.

I'm afraid it won't lead me anywhere
Despite my hopes, I am afraid that the Northern Star will not actually lead me to a better place.

He's so cold he will ruin the world tonight
There is a person who is so malevolent and dangerous that they could bring about the destruction of the world tonight.

All the angels kneel into the Northern Lights
Even the purest and most righteous beings are humbled by the majesty and power of the Northern Lights.

Kneel into the frozen lights
Submit to the awe-inspiring display of nature's beauty in the Northern Lights.

And they paid, I cry and cry for you
I mourn and grieve for someone who was lost or wronged in some way, while others have not paid a price for their actions.

Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow
Memories and regrets can linger and cause pain long after the source of that sorrow is gone.

I cried 'cause you were doomed
I wept for someone who faces certain failure or demise.

Praying to the wound that swallows
Dwelling on past traumas and pain can consume and overpower a person, leaving them feeling helpless.

All that's cold and cruel
There is much in the world that is heartless, brutal and unfeeling.

Can you see the trees, charity and gratitude,
The beauty of nature and the virtues of kindness and thankfulness still exist, but are sometimes hard to see in the midst of darkness.

They run to the pines
People seek solace and refuge in the natural world, particularly in forests and other green spaces.

It's black in here blot out the sun
Despair or depression can feel all-encompassing and block out any sense of hope or positivity.

And Run to the pines
People escape to nature to try and find comfort and solace from the pain of the world.

Our misery runs wild and free
Pain and suffering can spread and take root, affecting whole communities and societies.

And I knew, the fire and the ashes of his Grace...
I am aware of the destructive force of someone's anger, and know that it has the potential to lay waste to everything in its path.

And blessed are the broken
Those who have endured suffering and pain are often more compassionate and able to help others in similar situations.

And I beg you
I am pleading and begging for someone to help or guide me.

No loneliness, no misery is worth you
Nothing is more valuable or important than the companionship and kindness of others, even in the most painful and difficult times.

Oh tear his heart out cold as ice it's mine
I am willing to do anything to take revenge on someone who has caused me pain, even if it means becoming like them.

And I wait praying to the Northern Star
I continue to hope and seek guidance from the symbol of the Northern Star.

He's so cold raining on the world tonight
The malevolent person is causing destruction and suffering throughout the world.

All the angels kneeling to the Northern Lights
Even the most divine and pure beings are humbled and awed by the beauty and majesty of the Northern Lights.

And I pray begging to the Northern Star
I am still pleading and hoping for guidance and direction from the symbol of the Northern Star.

He's so cold he will rule the world tonight
The malevolent person is so powerful and destructive that they could potentially dominate and control the entire world.

Kneeling to the frozen lights
Submit to the awe-inspiring display of nature's beauty in the Northern Lights.

Feel their hearts they're cold as ice.....
The powerful and malevolent person is utterly lacking in empathy or compassion, making them ruthless and unfeeling.

VELUT-INTER-IGNIS-LUNA-MINOR
Perhaps a Latin phrase meaning 'like a minor moon among the fire', suggesting the insignificance of humanity when compared with the awesome power of nature and the universe.
