Upon a Burning Body Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Understand the waits for no man
In the end we are the forgotten
Just a drone dropped in hell
Searching for a way out
All alone in this wretched place you've only dreamt about
But nightmares are the least of your problems
'Cause in this food chain you're at the bottom
'Cause in this food chain you're at the bottom
You are the problem, so pray for your soul
In the presence of guilt you are nothing but the enemy
Pray for your soul
You'll never find redemption, you'll be nothing but a memory
Through the eyes of the heavens
By the hand of the sun
Cast into the shadows
The forgotten ones
We are the forgotten ones
We are the forgotten ones
Fear is reborn when they're all gunning for you
Now just how far will you go to survive?
Fear is reborn
It's not a fucking game
And you must become the hunter to stay alive
Pray for your soul
They told me life wasn't easy
But they didn't say it would be this hard
They told me life wasn't easy
But they didn't say it would leave these scars
Fear me 'cause I refuse to lose
And I refuse to fail
I have been to the bottom
And I have come back from hell
Just a drone dropped in hell
Though you can't comprehend if this death will bring salvation
From this rotting palace then in salvation
Losing faith will be your only challenge
And in the end you'll be nothing but a memory
Pray for your soul in the presence of guilt
You are nothing but the enemy
Pray for your soul
You'll never find redemption
You'll be nothing but a memory
Through the eyes of the heavens
By the hand of the sun
Cast into the shadows
We are the forgotten ones.

Line by Line Meaning
Pray for your soul
Implore for the safety of your essence
Understand the waits for no man
Comprehend that time keeps moving regardless of what we do
In the end we are the forgotten
Ultimately, we will be disregarded and overlooked
Just a drone dropped in hell
We are insignificant beings placed in a miserable situation
Searching for a way out
Desperately seeking an escape route
All alone in this wretched place you've only dreamt about
Isolated in this dreadful location that was only present in our dreams
But nightmares are the least of your problems
Terrifying dreams are not the worst things that could happen to you
'Cause in this food chain you're at the bottom
You're the weakest prey in this hierarchy of predators
Nightmares are the lest of your problems
Terrifying dreams are not the worst things that could happen to you
'Cause in this food chain you're at the bottom
You're the weakest prey in this hierarchy of predators
You are the problem, so pray for your soul
You are the one that needs to seek divine protection
In the presence of guilt you are nothing but the enemy
Feeling remorseful will only render you powerless
Pray for your soul
Implore for the safety of your essence
You'll never find redemption, you'll be nothing but a memory
You won't ever find salvation and you will only exist as a faint remembrance
Through the eyes of the heavens
From a divine perspective
By the hand of the sun
Guided by the sun, a symbol of life and hope
Cast into the shadows
Thrown into darkness
The forgotten ones
Those that have been overlooked by society
We are the forgotten ones
We belong to the group that has been disregarded by society
Fear is reborn when they're all gunning for you
Terror arises when everyone is after you
Now just how far will you go to survive?
How much are you willing to do to stay alive?
Fear is reborn
Terror is resurrected
It's not a fucking game
This isn't something to be taken lightly
And you must become the hunter to stay alive
You need to be the one that chases instead of being chased to survive
Pray for your soul
Implore for the safety of your essence
They told me life wasn't easy
People warned me about the difficulties of life
But they didn't say it would be this hard
But they didn't emphasize the extremity of the obstacles I would face
They told me life wasn't easy
People warned me about the difficulties of life
But they didn't say it would leave these scars
But they didn't inform me that I would bear emotional wounds
Fear me 'cause I refuse to lose
Be afraid of me since I will not be defeated
And I refuse to fail
I will never give up
I have been to the bottom
I have experienced absolute despair
And I have come back from hell
But I have managed to overcome those horrible circumstances
Just a drone dropped in hell
We are insignificant beings placed in a miserable situation
Though you can't comprehend if this death will bring salvation
It's impossible to know if dying will result in redemption
From this rotting palace then in salvation
Possibly, departing from this decaying place will lead to salvation
Losing faith will be your only challenge
The only obstacle will be not to lose hope
And in the end you'll be nothing but a memory
Ultimately, you will only exist as a faint remembrance
Pray for your soul in the presence of guilt
Implore for the safety of your essence even if you feel guilty
You are nothing but the enemy
You are only perceived as the adversary
Pray for your soul
Implore for the safety of your essence
You'll never find redemption
You won't ever find salvation
You'll be nothing but a memory
You will only exist as a faint remembrance
Through the eyes of the heavens
From a divine perspective
By the hand of the sun
Guided by the sun, a symbol of life and hope
Cast into the shadows
Thrown into darkness
We are the forgotten ones
We belong to the group that has been disregarded by society
