Worship like a man at the bottom Like your life ain't a fucking lie Who made you apostle? Built you up from an endless night? Heraclitus was right God is day and night Leave your pretense in the deep end When there's no light inside You will drown yourself in spite I'm counting down the days 'til you're all erased Can you ever forgive me? I'm on the edge of a knife Calm yourself, feel the ground Some of us will never forget Just take all of my memories and give me back my life Know yourself, in the sound When I wake up as someone else Oh, how you'll burn in the Hell you denied All you heretics are blind Mass flooding Wash away the refuse from this place Blades gutting Every single skeptic without grace Unburden Those of us who chose a higher fate No reason Left for me to follow All you hopelessly still searching in the dark Can you ever forgive me? I'm on the edge of a knife Calm yourself, feel the ground Some of us will never forget Just take all of my memories and give me back my life Know yourself, in the sound When I wake up Worship like a man at the bottom Like my life ain't a fucking lie Who made me a prophet? Fuck you and your endless pride
No hate or judgement I just genuinely need to know, what’s up with the satanic cover art? Is it not that deep? This song is amazing, I’m actually obsessed with it but that’s kind of off putting to me. I’m not a bible thumper, but i am in recovery from drugs, and when you live the kind of life I have, you wanna try to stay away from any kind of possible bad energy. I know nothing about this band, this is the first song I’ve heard so like I said, not judging at all just curious x
Despite the lyrics, Eidola isn't *technically* a Christian band. they tend to pull imagery and symbolism from any and all religions and philosophies but they do focus heavily on spirituality as a whole and you're right to pick up on the idea that this figure is meant to represent an evil force but it isn't to glorify it. Even though some of the lyrics are definitely written from his perspective, he's still solidly portrayed as the villain . The mask represents The Alchemist, one of the two spirits who split from the main character of the story of Eidola's discography (Samsara) when he died toward the end of one of their earlier albums. He ascended to a type of demi-godhood where he decided that to bring peace to everything he would have to essentially extend his influence to everyone and basically became a false idol and by the time of this album basically is acting as the Anti-Christ while The Architect (the other half of Samsara and the protagonist of the most recent album) is on a Crusade to undo his teachings and it ultimately culminates in a sort of Armageddon scenario which is why this album is so heavy, it's basically describing a war between good and evil and reconciling that both came from the same person.
@@loki210I definitely need to get into the Eidola lore after reading this. Because I was also wondering why the cover art is so dark but thank you well explained
