The Clouding Lyrics

This song is actually more like two songs in one.

First half is mankind being "Clouded" and is going through what our society nowadays calls "depression" and is "questioning his life and origins". " Take this sense of wonder Make it go away

Take this sense of sadness Make it go away"

The second half is about the Setians planning out their vengeance on man for their attempted onslaught against their own kind.

"Pain, mankind will know pain For their crimes on our kind"

And you can actually relate to this following transaction because this is what the human race is capable of doing.

"Suffering for centuries At war with every breath"

What makes this album so perfect: The fact that you can relate to every song in some form.
