Conquer
The Order of Elijah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes up. Act like a man.
The time has come to choose a side.
Dust falls from the childs hand,
You lie with lepers and your legacy dies.

The day has come to stand your ground

Face it, your running from the answers

Your faking your life.
Taking on lies
That your mask could never ever hide.
Face it, your running from the answers

I am the ocean.
I am your greed.
I am your carnal sins infecting everything that the eye can see.

There may be a chance that I'm a changed man,
But it's a point blank fact that I don't give a damn.

Deep down I know that you wonder just how long that you'll ferment here.
She'd another face so that no one knows you.
She'd another face so that no one knows you.
Deep down you know your a slave to all the pride that you hold so dear.
She'd another face so that no one knows you.
She'd another face so that no one knows you.

Stop wasting time.
Stop wasting time.
Stop wasting time.
You've got to stop
Wasting time on yourself.

It's time that we overcome ourselves!
It's time that we overcome ourselves and all the things that hold us down!

Crucify the stems that keep you rooted to the ground.

Overall Meaning

The song "Conquer" by The Order of Elijah is a powerful track that speaks about the choices we make in life and the consequences that we face as a result. The opening lines "Eyes up. Act like a man. The time has come to choose a side" set the tone for the song, emphasizing the importance of taking responsibility for our actions and making decisive choices. The lyrics go on to explore themes of self-deception, greed, and pride, urging the listener to confront their demons and overcome the things that hold them back.

The line "I am the ocean. I am your greed. I am your carnal sins infecting everything that the eye can see" is particularly evocative, painting a vivid picture of the destructive forces that can consume us if we're not careful. The song encourages us to crucify the things that keep us rooted to the ground, to stop wasting time on ourselves, and to conquer our fears so that we can become the best version of ourselves.
