From my understanding, this song is about a race called the necrontyr, or necrons, in warhammer. many passages in the song could be interpretted as a reference to this. 1. 'Star Gods' ...'We are the Star Gods, i will consume thee' reference to the c'tan, gods who lived inside the stars and where given a physical shell by the necrons. the star gods were treacherous beings who consumed themselves in hunger. 2. 'Our feeble devices have awoken their slumber' While they have been around for millions of years, the necrons have been asleep for most of the time, and tend to be awoken when human explorator missions stumble upon their tombs. If you know the lore well, this point is enforced by several other lines. 3. 'As we now accede eternity Having stripped this plane of mortal flesh We return once more to our dormancy And await the renewal of life force' The original reason why the necrons didn't destroy the universe is because they needed to harvest more life, and they jhad already killed off most of it. So they decided to lay dormant for millions of years so the galaxy could repopulate. The vast majority of this information was garnered from the first chapter of codex: necrons. I hope it has been helpful. |
