Nice to Meet Me
Zack Hemsey Lyrics

A sky red from the blood
The sky is colored red with the blood of the ongoing conflict

Rose cheeks dull from the mud
The person's face has red marks from the struggle and dull from the mud and dirt

Hands worn through from the sludge
Their hands are tired out by working through the mud

A self no longer begrudged
The person has let go of any resentment and is now at peace with themselves

And murder is a potion of love
Killing is a way to show how much someone cares about something and will do anything to protect it

Sacrifice devotion thereof
One has to give their all to achieve what they want

And he without sin never was
No one is perfect and has never done anything wrong

Now a changing of the guard has begun
A new era has started and new people are in charge

A kingdom that belies the internal
The appearance of a kingdom does not portray what is happening behind the scenes

Is a prison of the mind that's infernal
The thoughts and ideas of a kingdom can trap one's mind and be unbearable

And eternal is the lie turned plague
A lie that is told enough times can turn into a widespread epidemic and last forever

So I've dug this grave so my truth won't fade
The person has dug their own grave to ensure that their truth will never be forgotten

I feel the war paint on my face
The person is ready for battle and has painted their face as a sign of war

I feel the ground tremble and quake
The ground is shaking, possibly from the marching of soldiers or the sound of war

I feel my heart sync to the pace that these war drums make
The person's heart beats in sync with the war drums, showing their readiness for war

I feel alive and awake
The person feels fully alive and aware in the midst of war

And all I see is war path ahead of me
The person's only vision is of war and conflict in their future

Each and every step I welcome readily
The person is accepting of every step they take on the war path

And if my lack of fear bring the death of me
If the person's lack of fear leads to their death in battle, they are willing to accept that outcome

Let the spirits of my ancestors envelop me
If the person dies in battle, they want to be protected and surrounded by the spirits of their ancestors

So know this is that armageddon coming
The person is aware that the end of the world and a final battle is coming

A flood that goes beyond the refuge high upon the summit
The coming battle will be overwhelming and surpass any potential refuge or protection

A sun become hole, black hold on consumption
The black hole created by the sun's consumption is a metaphor for the destructive nature of the upcoming war

Spun inside itself into a beacon that has summoned
The war has been summoned and pulled towards the world like a beacon

That creature of the deep that leaves a pit inside your stomach
The upcoming battle is compared to a creature in the depths that leaves one feeling uneasy and fearful

That rumbling beneath that bodes arrival from above, and
The approaching war is compared to a rumbling storm that signals its arrival from above

That nature of the beast that feeds upon the will to numb it
War feeds upon the individuals who want to detach themselves from their emotions and feelings

That monster brought the seed of life, well now I have become it
The destruction and horror of war has now consumed the person and made them a part of it

Behold a pale horse in my gaze
The person sees a pale horse, a symbol of death in their vision

High upon it Death in a rage
Death is riding the pale horse and is enraged

He said he had the truth that I crave
Death offers a truth or knowledge that the person craves

So my sword through his chest I gave
The person rejects the truth offered by Death and kills them with their sword

Ain't no one command I behave
The person is in sole control of their actions and cannot be commanded to behave by anyone else

Never put my faith in plans best laid
The person does not trust plans that are supposed to be the best course of action

And I don't follow rules that you made
The person does not follow rules made by others, as they want to make their own path

I think it's time I set this whole bitch ablaze
The person wants to completely destroy and set fire to everything around them

On the precipice of slaughter is the Lord
God is on the brink of destruction and chaos

Angels and those demons come together with a cause
Angels and demons are joining forces for a common reason

And I don't think you really know the meaning of a storm
The person believes others do not understand the true nature of chaos and destruction

Let this serve a lesson on the essence of reform
The war will be a lesson on how to reform and change for the better

Hatred without focus make the eager man fall
Hatred without a clear target or focus will lead to the downfall of a passionate person

Violence without purpose make the mighty man small
Violence that is done without purpose will reduce even the most powerful person to a small and insignificant state

Vengeance without mercy leave the noble man flawed
Seeking revenge without mercy will tarnish the reputation of a person who was once seen as noble

And insurrection mounts behind those battle lines drawn
A rebellion is brewing behind the lines of battle

But future is beholden to the present moment cast
The future is determined by the actions taken in the present

And prudence don't repeat the futile habits of the past
It is wise to avoid making the same mistakes of the past

And courage is to he that sheds his skeletons as last
Bravery is shown when one is willing to get rid of their past mistakes and start anew

These trains of thought now heading toward a devastating crash
The different ways of thinking will collide and have a disastrous outcome

Bloodshed to that order like a flower to a thorn
Bloodshed is the price to be paid for maintaining the order, similar to how a flower has a thorn as a part of itself

Beauty know perfection like a child know the law
Beauty can only be viewed as perfect, similar to how a child blindly follows the law without understanding it

And I advise you heed these words enlightened and forewarned
The person warns others to listen and take their advice

Truth in what you are an oath of life to which I've sworn
The person has taken an oath to live their life based on their personal truth and beliefs

And I feel like I've got a gun
The person feels empowered and in control, as if they have a weapon

Like I've been changed more ways than one
The person feels like they have undergone significant changes throughout their journey

And this whole world has just begun
The person is starting anew and sees a whole world of possibilities ahead of them

And it's so nice to meet me
The person is content and happy to have reached this point and met their true self
