Retribution
Vortech Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wander through the blood and gears
The evident signs of a tragedy
There was none they could have done
The spawn of evil
An ageless cult
Those things made out of steel and bionic mass
In pursuit through the woods and blackened substance
Whatever they may be they for sure are no sound creations
Pull out your guns, for you feel them oh so near
Just in time to avoid its charge and sheer
Chaotic beings of sickening build
They must be to have done all this
As the sun falls below horizon
Thus begins your retribution
Your rifle is clacking again and again
Oceanic entities screech and squall
Echoes against the cliff alert them all
For it is time for you to fall, FALL!
The creatures divert their attention
Chitonic blades unfold and swing
Splattering blood all over the place
As they indulge their appetite for chase
Though you know it to be your last dawn
You press on to fight them all
Lock and load all your guns
Tonight They shall fall by tons
Chaotic beings of sickening build
They must be to have done all this
As the sun falls below horizon
Thus begins your retribution
Fall to your knees to discover the scene
Lamentations of all those who died
The voices of the dead twist your mind
There shall be no sleep tonight
The lyrics of Vortech's song Retribution depict the aftermath and aftermath of a tragedy. The singer finds himself surrounded by ruins, blood, and machinery, all evidence of a catastrophic event that could not have been prevented. He realizes that the cause of the destruction lies in an ageless cult that has created monstrous beings out of steel and technology. The singer is on the run, being pursued by these chaotic beings that are not natural to the world. He fights back with his weapons, but he knows it's a losing battle. He's fallen to his knees at the end of the day, surrounded by the voices of the dead, haunted by the tragedy he's witnessed.
The song conveys a sense of despair and hopelessness, but also of defiance in the face of overwhelming odds. The singer knows he can't win, but he fights anyway, driven by the need for revenge and the desire to make those responsible pay for what they've done. The lyrics suggest that there are always forces beyond our control, and that sometimes we have to confront them even if we know we can't win. The song is a reminder that even in the face of tragedy, we mustn't give up, but instead stand and fight.
