The Awakening
Vortech Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ancient beings dormant lie and wait for release
For the waters of the oceans lock them down
The aeons passed have been abound
The slimy vaults creak wide open
As the generator comes to life
Silent generators succumb the tide
Biomechanic creatures form their ranks
Platinum blades cycle and spin by flanks
Masterpiece of the Great Old Ones
Violent sadistic machine devoid of guns
Deep down, legions under the sea
Ancient beings dormant lie and wait for release
For the waters of the oceans lock them down
The aeons passed have been abound
But now beneath the hunter's moon
Their unleashing all but soon
Bright blue lighting fire up in the room
Their legions are ready to bring your doom
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
The lyrics to The Awakening by Vortech speak of ancient beings that lie dormant under the sea, waiting for their release. These beings have been trapped for aeons by the waters of the oceans, but with the coming of the generator, they will finally be brought to life. Biomechanical creatures will form their ranks, with platinum blades spinning by their flanks, creating a masterpiece of the Great Old Ones. This violent and sadistic machine is devoid of guns but is fully prepared to bring about the doom of all who cross it.
The chorus repeats the idea of the legions under the sea waiting for release, but now this release is imminent. The hunter's moon is coming, signaling that the creatures will soon be unleashed. The bright blue lighting that fires up in the room indicates their readiness to wreak havoc, and the repeated phrase of "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" adds an eerie and sinister element to the song, calling upon the demonic deities of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.
Overall, the lyrics of The Awakening paint a bleak and terrifying picture of the release of ancient and otherworldly creatures, brought to life by biomechanics and waiting to unleash their wrath upon the world.
