In The Wordless Chamber Lyrics
in the wordless chamber
they feared death
desperately
thus they clustered to the fruits of the earth
craving dispersion
as if to avoid knowing why
in the wordless chamber
they feared life
desperately
thus they proclaimed any given truth
and swallowed
as if to justify their fear
he knew that there had been hordes of seers
before him
who set out to cure
though, the sick wished not to part with
their decease
as if it made them feel
alive
in the wordless chamber
he accepted desperation
and the unpredictable manifestations
of hope
they feared death
desperately
thus they clustered to the fruits of the earth
craving dispersion
as if to avoid knowing why
in the wordless chamber
they feared life
desperately
thus they proclaimed any given truth
and swallowed
as if to justify their fear
before him
who set out to cure
though, the sick wished not to part with
their decease
as if it made them feel
alive
he accepted desperation
and the unpredictable manifestations
of hope

Existentialism, most like inspired by Nietzsche.
One of the best song of Prometheus, if not the best. Less complex than other songs, but it is both brutal and epic. It was an instant classic for me. I think this is the song that made me persevere into listening Prometheus and eventually loving it.
In the context of religion (seer):\n1st verse- Believers are afraid of death, and avoid knowing stuff...\n2nd verse-Believers are afraid to really live, restrict themselves to the book of god, reading it, proclaiming and swallowing it (metaphorically).\n3rd verse- a seer (wise man) tries to push away/cure people from religion, but they prefer to stick with their \'sickness\'\n4th verse- the seer failed, yet accepts the world as it is\n\nI guess it can work simillarly for other contexts as well, and will be happy to hear other alternatives.\n\nOnly left with the obvious question of what the wordless chamber is? \nCasket probly works (thou not literally in it)\nAlso chapel/synagoge (not literally either)
