I am
thorns vs. emperor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black hills consists of black souls, souls that already dies one
Thousand deaths. Behind the stone walls of centuries they breed their
Black art. Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold. Far up in
The mountains, where the rain fall not far, yet the sun cannot reach.
The wizards, my servants, summon the souls of macrocosm. No age will
Escape my wrath.I travel through time and I return to the future.I
Before a mighty Emperor thereupon came. Watching the mortals
"Discovering" my chronicles, guarded by the old demons, even unknown
To me. Once destroyed their souls are being summoned to my timeless
Prison of hate. It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls
That was destroyed in my future. How many wizards that serve me with
Evil.I know not. My empires has no limits. From the never ending
Mountains black, to the bottomless lakes.I am the ruler and has been
For eternity's long. My wizards are many, but their essence is mine.
Forever there are in the hills in their stone homes of grief. Because
I am the spirit of their existence.I am them.
The song "I Am" by Thorns vs. Emperor is a dark and ominous exploration of power and control. The lyrics depict an all-powerful figure, referred to as "I," who rules over a land of black souls and dark magic. This entity is described as being "mightiest," but also somewhat lonely, as it is surrounded only by servants and subjects who exist solely to do its bidding.
The imagery used throughout the song emphasizes the darkness and otherworldly nature of this figure's domain. The black hills and stone walls are described as breeding grounds for spells and incantations, while the mountains themselves are said to be beyond the reach of both rain and sunlight. The wizards who serve this being are able to summon the very souls of the macrocosm, and even time itself is said to be under the creature's control.
Despite the power and terror that is implied throughout the song, there is also an undercurrent of sadness and despair. The black souls that inhabit this world are described as having already died a thousand deaths, and the wizards who serve this being are said to be imprisoned in stone homes of grief. In the end, it seems that the creature who rules over this realm is ultimately consumed by its own hateful power, feasting upon the souls of those it has destroyed in its quest for domination.

Ærie Descent by Thorns on this albums is so crushing and dark, I remember being in awe of this when I heard it upon release. It is really a very unique piece for it's time and still today it holds up to my memory of it being a very haunting song.
