Requiem
Xzoriath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deliver the purple roses
To inspire the rotting nations
Finally calm in the sacred ground
Deliver the irresistible hunger
To the worms of a new Creation
At least for a while
Embalm all those bloodshot eyes
Gently with soil
From the Unburned
Teach me the new song
Through curtains of steel
Giving Xzoriath power
To cover the visions
Of those who sleep
After unbiased battle
Calm is the Newborns Breast
Eroded the old mans
Let them see your grief,
Oh God
Lapsed in the virtue they
Fell from your arms
Let the chorus of Angels blind
Echo in Fourth Dimension
To silence their burdened cry
Who once have dropped
A petrified tear
Teach them to find
The Memory
Of a forlorn society
Teach them to write
A brand new song
Into the Sacred Book
Of the Third Apocalypse
Your eyes
Are plastered
Forever...
The song Requiem by Xzoriath appears to be a deeply poetic piece that is filled with various metaphors and religious allusions. The overall theme of the song seems to be a plea for the end of suffering and the arrival of redemption. The singer, in the first stanza, asks that the purple flowers be delivered so that they can reinvigorate the world that is decaying. He reflects on the idea that even the worms that feed on dead flesh will be satisfied by this gesture. In the next stanza, it appears that the singer is asking for a new type of burial that will allow the deceased to rest in peace. Additionally, he asks for the curtains of steel (which can be a representation of death or closure) to help him find solace in the aftermath of a fair battle. The third stanza seems to continue with the theme of renewal but focuses on the younger generation. He wants them to be able to create something new that can be a guiding light for a world that he thinks is lost. The singer then brings up memories of a better world that have been forgotten, and ends the song with a reflection of eternal love.
