These lyrics are dedicated to all who strive against the lies of a decadent and dying civilization.
A mad age is upon us,
The Lie possesses all
But idols’ twilight brings the darkness,
And Faustian spirit will stand tall
We seek true strength of spirit,
It’s found in blood and bone
A new titan kin from the land arises,
We’ll make the age our own
CHORUS:
This age is but a fever dream
Of chaos, blindness, pain
But as the age gives up the ghost,
So the wheel turns again
Ouroboros, worm eats tail,
The age consumed, renewed
From cradle to hearth to funeral pyre,
Old strength of gods is re-imbued
VERSE 2:
This age is all New World dreams:
The gold, the gain, the score,
Ask not for your homeland’s gain,
If your neighbor might have more
But the New World age is all a lie,
A story puppet-masters told
Turn away from their rainbow path,
And melt down their calf of gold
Repeat CHORUS
VERSE 3:
As New World dream unravels,
Desperation turns to rage
The fools flock to the faded standards,
They will not escape the stage
Narrative, a myth undone,
Still the blind they lead the blind
Sacrifice to their false gods,
For an ideal they’ll never find
Repeat CHORUS
Idol-faithful still seek delusions,
In their age of dreams gone sour
Tilting at their windmills,
Slaves to twisted cult of power
Smash the idols, heap them high
The pyre will burn bright
We’ll unmask the lies, the parasites,
Dethrone the wrong called right
We seek strength through wheel of sun,
Water, fire, wind, and earth
Advance the Midgard Serpent,
We know Ragnarök is rebirth
(CHORUS X 2)

Beautifully written comment on the age in which we live and (hopefully) what will come next-rebirth of western man’s Faustian spirit as the “puppet masters” and their “rainbow path” lead us to ruin, we awake and “dethrone the wrong called right.” My interpretation at least.
Thank you so much! I very much like your interpretation. 🙂
