Wolves in the Throne Room Lyrics

and look you all in the eye

One possible interpretation of these lyrics from Wolves in the Throne Room's song Ahrimanic Trance is that they evoke a sense of impending doom or chaos. The "beast" rising up from the deep could represent some kind of long-dormant or unconscious terror or violence that is now coming to the surface and confronting humanity. The phrase "look you all in the eye" could suggest that this danger or threat is not hiding or sneaking up on us, but is instead brazenly announcing itself and challenging us to face it head-on.
The following line "behold the royal procession of..." adds an element of mysticism or grandeur to the scene, implying that this uprising of darkness or chaos is not just some random or accidental event, but is part of a larger cosmic plan or destiny. The phrase "royal procession" suggests that there is a kind of perverse beauty or majesty to the unfolding of these events, even as they threaten to destroy everything in their path. Perhaps this is an example of the kind of paradox that Wolves in the Throne Room frequently explores in their music, finding beauty and transcendence in the midst of darkness and decay.
