Bloodborne

Aphelon's song 'Bloodborne' delves into themes of legacy, struggle, and the eternal fight for honor and recognition. The title itself, 'Bloodborne,' suggests a lineage or heritage that is carried through blood, implying a deep connection to ancestry and the sacrifices made by those who came before. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a battlefield, referred to as 'the bleeding grounds beneath the sun,' where warriors, described as 'Alpha Warriors,' surge forth with a sense of duty and right to know and conquer.

The song encourages these warriors to proceed with 'confidence and resilience,' suggesting that the earth itself will absorb their efforts and sacrifices. This can be seen as a metaphor for the idea that the world will remember and honor the deeds of those who fight bravely. The call to 'scar the sky' and make all submit to their might speaks to the desire for dominance and the recognition of their strength. The 'wounds inflicted' and 'wreaths ordained' symbolize the marks of courage and the honors bestowed upon those who prove their valor.

The repeated exclamation of 'Hail!' signifies a reverence for the warriors and their cause, as well as a call to honor the legacy they are creating. The reference to the 'heart of the Yew' beating in courtship with the speaker's own heart suggests a deep, almost spiritual connection to nature and the past. The final lines address the 'false ones of paved ways,' dismissing them as mere remnants of the past, emphasizing the importance of living up to the legacy and not being content with the status quo. This song is a powerful anthem of courage, legacy, and the relentless pursuit of honor and recognition.
