"Rebirth" lyrics

Eluveitie Lyrics

"Rebirth"

Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee
Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me
Mighty cauldron, oh nidus
I surrender all to thee
Panacean nothingness when nothing is left

These dreadful shades
Dancing in my dwindling sight
And crying out these hollow words
A straying soul in my scorching flesh
Dying down amid this fucking blaze

My swooning world
Infested by strident cries
In a worship of the void

All vanishing in a dull and distant noise

Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee
Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me
Mighty cauldron, oh nidus
I surrender all to thee
Panacean nothingness when nothing is left

This was my rebirth

As one with pain and with distress
Sweet surrender in serenity
Will I remember this womb at all?
Will I ever know?

Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee
Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me
Mighty cauldron, oh nidus
I surrender all to thee
Panacean nothingness when nothing is left

I am not here
I do not last
I am the grain in the earth
I am the wave in the deep
I am the softly whispered word
In the murmuring autumn breeze

In front of Antumnos' gate
I beheld the mirror in the lake
Recognize I did not
Nor did I comprehend

Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee
Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me
Mighty cauldron, oh nidus
I surrender all to thee
Panacean nothingness when nothing is left

This was my rebirth

This song in based on the "one of the most spellbinding symbols in Celtic mythology", according to the band, the "Cauldron of Rebirth". They also said, "'Rebirth' describes dying one of these deaths we all die during our lives, understanding dying as a process, a voyage where death at some point arises on the horizon and becomes the awaited designation of the journey."
