This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Through scornful declarence and lumnious eyes
The shadows enveil with the glorious night
Trespassing the sunset like thou hast before
Entreating the daylight to rage nevermore
Angina striking Elysium
A frail remembrance glorificates
The nightside-ascendance
Veiled underneath thy funereal skies
The winds they may haunt me in bloodredest skies
The moon may bewed the strangest of light
The clasp of indifference the conquering tide
The sweeping of daylight...my vigour's decline
Thy Carrion Kind
Angina strikes Elysium...a frail remembrance
Carrion Kind
My Carrion Kind
The shadows enveil with the glorious night
Trespassing the sunset like thou hast before
Entreating the daylight to rage nevermore
Angina striking Elysium
A frail remembrance glorificates
The nightside-ascendance
Veiled underneath thy funereal skies
The winds they may haunt me in bloodredest skies
The moon may bewed the strangest of light
The clasp of indifference the conquering tide
The sweeping of daylight...my vigour's decline
Thy Carrion Kind
Angina strikes Elysium...a frail remembrance
Carrion Kind
My Carrion Kind

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Einar has written the lyrics for Heretique and Opus Relinque, so maybe those aren't meant to be a part of the story.
I love this song. However, I do not know what it means. Can someone help me out? I like to know about what I'm listening to.
I'm not sure, but I get the feeling of werewolves or vamps from this song...(luminous eyes, etc.) There are SOOO many references to night vs. day in this song...especially when he says daylight declines his strength! The latin word Angina is a medical term for "restriction". Elysium is a diffent spelling of Elysian as in Elysian Fields - the Greek idea of Heaven or Paradise. Soooo, I think this person (or vamp or whatever) is talking about the ending of paradise and the beginning of death for whoever he is stalking "Thy Carrion Kind"
PS: Make sure to keep Wikipedia close-by when listening to Tristania or Sirenia or Therion :D
While I'm at it, here are the latin lyrics: • Ut te postremo Donare Munere Mortis "to present you with the last guerdon (reward) of death" Does anyone else here that he says clearly after the screaming sounds at the very beginning the phrase "that sounds good" ??
I'll stay with my theory. Beyond the Veil is a story, a concept album if you like.
The story starts with a girl not seeing the purpose of life, and commits suicide. She drifts trough the underworld in the Styx(it all seems to be based on Greek myth). The monotone grey agony of the river doesn't suit her, and she somehow is granted rebirth by braking from the stream and drifting into the Lethean river. She forgets her past live, and is given a new one. However, she once again endures life as a painful and uninteresting thing. Not sure how, but she dies again, wether by her own doing or of old age. This time, as this song indicates, she is send to paradise: the last relieving reward of death. The last two songs are kind of obscure in this concept. It would seam that she taunts the gods, and then wakes from the nightmare, which could be a metaphor for her life, or indicate that the previous songs were all a fictional story.
Any thoughts?
Latin lyrics are these: "Ut te postremo donarem munere mortis" It's donareM and that's a line taken from Catullo's poem "Multa per gentes et multa per aequora vectus" it's a poem written for his dead brother
I'm not sure that she kills herself. I think maybe she dies naturally. The first time she really regrets it and just wants to live again and then in a sequel of decay, i'm not sure but maybe she visits Hades who lets her live again. She definitely visits someone.
