The Ritual
Tryglav Lyrics

The story of the world taking form anew
The world is being recreated into a new story.

Now redesigned
The world is being changed into a new design.

Condemned to death and reimagined for me
The world is being reimagined for the singer, despite the condemnation it has received.

Under a crying sky
The sky is crying, symbolizing sadness and mourning.

It’s pulling me under
The situation is causing the artist to feel overwhelmed and dragged down.

As I sink into my resting place
The singer is potentially dying or metaphorically being laid to rest.

Unearthing all my own long-buried mistakes
The singer is facing their past mistakes that they thought were already buried deep down.

They’re what is left, what now remains
The artist's past mistakes are what remains and what they have to deal with.

The story is unfolding
The world's story is still unfolding and changing.

And I fear the turn of the page
The artist is fearful of what will happen next and what changes they will face.

The chapters following
The singer is worried about the upcoming changes and events in the story of the world.

The end that culminates
The artist is worried about the end result of all the events and changes.

With heroes left behind
The singer feels like they are being left behind and forgotten in the story.

I’m surrendering this time
The singer is giving in to the changes and accepting their fate.

That I’ll one day be revived
The singer hopes for a new beginning or a revival in the future.

Bear the weight I’m faced with
The artist is facing a heavy burden or challenge.

Moments I have wasted
The artist faces the regrets they have over wasted time in the past.

I’m searching for something more
The singer wants something greater or more meaningful in their life.

Than the life I knew before
The singer desires a better life than what they had previously.

Stare upon the faceless
The artist is looking at anonymous or unidentifiable people.

Those I trust my fate with now
The artist is now trusting their fate with others instead of themselves.

Looking on the world fading from my view
The artist is watching the world disappear from their sight or perspective.

Giving way to narrations that aren’t my own
The singer is losing control over the story and events happening in the world.

And the sun will not ever come up
The artist is predicting a bleak future full of darkness.

And the plague of today will remain for tomorrow
The problems and issues of today will continue on into the future.

All my trust, now, is placed in you
The singer has placed their trust in someone else to help them through the issues.

In the hands that sickness would answer to
The person the singer has placed their trust in has the power to heal or cure sickness.

And when mourning had finally come
The time of mourning or sadness has finally arrived.

You erased the days since taken place, those following
The person the artist trusted helped them forget about the past and move forward.

Redesigned
The world has been changed into a new design.

With heroes left behind
Despite the changes, the singer feels like the heroes have been left behind and forgotten.
