Metamorphosis
Witchbane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We await the armaggeddon, funeral of enlightened ones
Slaughtered they shall be , scum of this universe
The ages of these golden sculptures are gone, lost forever
A new millenium will arise from the chest of earth
We hail the spirits of this metamorphosis nocturnus
For thy age is born, we are the inheritance
Lean back and watch this evolution of evil
It is just a question of time, fall or flee
A scepter of serpents will be arozen for sure
The lyrics of Witchbane's song Metamorphosis describe a dystopian world in chaos, waiting for the end of everything. The enlightened ones are seen as targets for slaughter, while the golden age has been lost forever. The earth is about to enter a new millennium, and the spirits of metamorphosis are hailed to lead this transition.
The song paints a picture of a decadent and decaying civilization that's on the verge of collapse. The spirits in the cosmos are seen as the only hope for the new age, and the inheritors of this new world. The line 'we are the inheritance' emphasizes the idea that the old world has passed away, and that the new generation is taking over.
The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the mention of a scepter of serpents that will be arozen for sure. This phrase indicates that the future is unpredictable, and that anything can happen.
