The song features influences of power metal and classical music, including a reference to the "Invention of Two Voices in Bb Major" (BWV 785), composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. The lyrics are based on the Baroque theme and describe a ritual of fertility and prosperity carried out in different cultures, referring to the blood and sacrifice from the continuity of life to the new generations.
lyrics
Et beatus est sanguinis quia purificat mea vita ur
In the darkness, aluminium wire can be seen
And the crossing blades dictating who stands still
Nothing matters beyond ourselves, we are shadows past
To sow with blood the wheat we’ll eat
The sacrifices doesn’t exist
Everything cuts, the sacred blood saves the world
Everything burn, and the fainting invades our eyes
And the curtains of illusions repeats
In the darkness sky only stars
In the darkness sky only sparks
Cause the sacred blood is flowing and never dies
In the dark cave, only bodies has heat and nothing more
The taste, the smell, all the senses in plenitude are
The principle of life
The past that generates the future
The present doesn’t exist beyond the dark cave
In the darkness sky only stars
In the darkness sky only sparks
Cause the sacred blood is flowing and never dies
The sacred pouring and also running
Fields of wheat fertilized
Like the darkness crowded with the stars
