The Fallen Will Rise
Twisted Jukebox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was taken from his family
He was taken to fight in a war
A war aganist Witches and Warlocks
He was away from his family for ten years
Ten years he was gone from the people he loved
When he came back
He had found his mother and father
He later found it was
A child that had been born and growing
He took this child in as his own
The little child was now his younger brother
His younger brother was ten
When he found he was taken away
On his eleventh birthday
The older boy did everything to protect his younger brother
He fought men
He fought fears
All to protect his family
He saved his brother in the end
But at the cost of his life
He saved the only thing that he loved
The person whom he'd taken in
The person whom he had learned to live with
For the cost of his life

I am the vocalist in this piece. I wrote the lyrics and co-wrote the melody and harmonies with the composer, Marc Aaron Jacobs, for Twisted Jukebox’s “Goddess” album. I don’t usually post translations of my songs because they’re very complicated, but it has been brought to my attention that there is some controversy over the language and translation of the lyrics of this one, which I’d like to clear up for those that are interested.
The language is not Uralic. It is not an ancient Korean poem, nor is it in Japanese. It is an original work in a dialect of ancient Akkadian. This song is written from the perspective of a Goddess of Edges, so to speak, constantly searching for the edges between things--like night and day, hunger and satiety, life and death--and where the meaning is between them. This song is fundamentally a juxtaposition between having/needing, divine/mundane, and darkness/light in the quest for enlightenment. She is imparting her wisdom to her people. The first part starts out apparently simple and ends in an incredibly elevated concept, then the second part starts elevated and ends with the mundane again in a profound way, bringing the song full circle. This is not a direct word-for-word translation, as the literal English translations sound overly simplified and don’t convey the numerous layers, meanings, and nuances that the groups of phrases have together (if they even make sense at face value at all, as you’ll see below.) The spectrum moves through the whole song in waves of meaning that are too elaborate to fully translate here, but I’ve done my best to convey at least the basic concepts.
Lyrics:
Adeni kahteh
Iseri koveni
Edenash adeni
Askadeh er crado
Saka nedisheh vado
Isa keni-eh ehdi
(additional high part on chorus repeat:
Ahdikah veh
Keh dehsha va-ni
Isa keni-eh ehdi)
Sakesh vetah edah naro
Translation:
“Adeni kahteh”: To quest for the nature of divinity; to strive for the divine; to find the center above. Not a calm quest for enlightenment, but an intense need for it.
“Iseri koveni“: To strip the self; to rip away flesh; like peeling an onion to achieve that enlightenment.
“Edenash adeni”: concludes the thought by turning the whole thing around - The light is in the shadows, the wheat is in the chaff, or, that the nature of divinity are the pieces stripped and thrown away in the previous step. On a poetic level, it's saying that the perfected form, the divine state, was the need itself. The beauty and the truth was there all along.
“Askadeh er crado” excelsior plus suffering; a noble ordeal, the honor of having endured, plus the humility of the price you had to pay for it
“Saka nedisheh vado” literally ‘spoken prescription vessel’
“Isa keni-eh edi” literally ‘a mote of dust among ashes twinkles’; all vocal parts converge on this phrase to emphasize the profound importance of such a seemingly insignificant thing. "Edi" itself means particle, but it's also an affectionate diminutive for beauty in simplicity, so the entire language of the phrase literally ends on the single imagery of that one shining particle.
Together, the last two lines allude to the noble ordeal ironically, setting it up as a huge event that ends with all focus on the smallest, most insignificant part of it. In essence, to go through a huge, epic struggle or battle for enlightenment only to look down at the end and find it in a tiny twinkling speck of dust. The chorus can be summarized as “This great thing in its smallness.”
(The additional refrain in the 2nd chorus contains less meaning. It is mostly a sing-songy echo of the above translation as it was added much later in the writing process. It merely supports the underlying meaning of the rest of the song.)
“Sakesh vetah edah naro”: ‘Seek ye here what you already know.’ The last line alludes to the end of the verse--that beauty and truth was there all along--but it also speaks directly to the effort to translate the song. You already hear its meaning. Breaking down each word doesn’t help you get closer to the knowledge that was with you from the start. You didn’t actually need me to translate it for you. And this is why I don’t usually translate these songs. The analogy I tell people is this: it’s like digging furiously in the sand to find that single perfect grain that will define “beach” for you, when the whole point all along was to sit and enjoy the ocean.

Lyrics:
Over the mountains and far away*
Our women and children wait and pray
Where the grass is so green and water so clear
They are living in harmony and without fear
One day they came out of the dark
We were on a hunt and the dogs they barked
They murdered our families and tore us apart
As we saw them bleeding we lost our hearts
The clans will rise again. Rise
We reign with steel and pain
Tortured minds, our souls are screaming
From the woods the wolves are howling
We ride on the ground of our beloved land
In rage and anger we walk hand in hand
We fall in front spinning our plails
We kill like insane and we never fail
We yelling the war cry of the clan McLeod
The enemies run and we shout out proud
The clans will rise again. Rise
We reign with steel and pain
The clans will rise again. Rise
Revenge in our veins

That's odd... when I googled it it gave me this:
One day a boy at the age of fifteen
Was taken from his family
He was taken to fight in a war
A war aganist Witches and Warlocks
He was away from his family for ten years
Ten years he was gone from the people he loved
When he came back
He had found his mother and father
Died protecting something
He later found it was
A child that had been born and growing
He took this child in as his own
The little child was now his younger brother
His younger brother was ten
When he found he was taken away
On his eleventh birthday
The older boy did everything to protect his younger brother
He fought men
He fought fears
All to protect his family
He saved his brother in the end
But at the cost of his life
He saved the only thing that he loved
The person whom he'd taken in
The person whom he had learned to live with
For the cost of his life

The real lyrics
One day a boy, at the age of fifteen.
Was taken away from his family, to
fight in a war. A war against, witches
and warlocks.
He was taken away, for ten years.
When he came back, he found
he had a new brother. His younger
brother was ten. when he found, he
would be taken away the next month.
On his 11th birthday, he did everything
to protect his younger brother. He fought
men, he fought fears, all to protect his family
He saved his brother in the end, but for the
cost of his life....

wow great music!! it is nice and epic :)
@jonathan069
Zefora Your voice is beautiful
@Zefora
Thank you, Mr. Brapfel :)
@krystiankowalski7335
I'd just like to say, how did you learn Akkadian? It's a dead language, and is not famous in education, like Latin.
@Zefora
You can dig furiously in the sand for a lifetime trying to find that single, perfect grain that will define “beach” for you, and never realize that the point all along was to just sit and enjoy the ocean view. Just enjoy the music.
