| Covenant – Flux Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Another Covenant classic: No hope. No divine intervention. Your life and your happiness is left to your own actions. Expect no one to help you. You are here for just a brief period of time and your only obligation is to realize that the only purpose for your existance is to give, without expecting anything in return. No one lives forever. But the world and its inhabitants will, if we who are blessed with intelligence realize that life is greater than all things that it contains. We are insignificant as individuals, but immortal as parts of the universe. |

| Covenant – Figurehead Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Strange one. I think it's about a person who knows his/her weaknesses as well as the weaknesses of people in general. Perhaps it means that we are all in the same boat? A ship led by a two-faced figurehead? Is the figurehead to blame for getting lost or is it the crew that allows their confusion to lead them to their doom? Is there a difference between "I" and "us" at all? The "brighter death" may also refer to the nihilism and harsh neo-darwinism of the Swedish band "Brighter Death Now". Or simple karma. To die in brightness may be a way to get a new chance. Metaphorically speaking. |

| Covenant – Babel (Long Mix) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
A typical Covenant theme. Maybe the most well expressed of them all? It's about trying to be better than you can ever be. It's about setting up ideals that are too hard to achieve and trying to live with this knowledge. Just because we can't be perfect there is no excuse to be content with indifference. |
