Upon The War-Torn Shape Of Cold Earth
tyranny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Abandoned in the sky seeking to pass the withering earth
Lost in its are as the horizons bend in inverse motion
And the dying earth groans stretching in war-torn shape
Strange images trailed in the dust
Oceans are a mire growing with ancient stones
Star-fire of putrescent hues linking the spheres
Expanses of space compromised by the ageless glyphs
The gate yawns to black nebulae
Corpse-palloured ancient suns
Space-faring comets
Teeming with inhuman life
Cold earth turns unheeding 'midst the fire of nameless stars
Cold earth turns unheeding on black timeless gulfs afar
The lyrics of "Upon The War-Torn Shape Of Cold Earth" by Tyranny paint a picture of a desolate and dying world, abandoned by the sun and stretching in a war-torn shape. The solar glow is described as bleak and the sun itself as a blind eye seeking to pass the withering earth. As the horizons bend in inverse motion, the earth groans and strange images are trailed in the dust.
The oceans are described as a mire, growing with ancient stones and weed-grown bones of the older earth reaching from the churning swamp. The star-fire of putrescent hues is said to link the spheres and expanses of space are compromised by ageless glyphs. The gate yawns to black nebulae, corpse-palloured ancient suns, and space-faring comets teeming with inhuman life. The earth itself is cold and unheeding, turning amidst the fire of nameless stars and on black timeless gulfs afar.
Overall, the lyrics describe a dying and desolate world, with remnants of ancient life and a sense of foreboding about what lies beyond.

Wonderful song,very dark
Elijah Rogers
Is a fusion of death/doom with funeral dirge music. It's played at a very slow tempo, evoke a sense of emptiness and despair.
Elijah Rogers
The electric guitars are heavily distorted and the keyboards or synthesizers to create a dreamlike atmosphere. Vocals are dream chants or hushed growls in the background
