Die französische Symphonic Metal Crew hat ihren Longplayer “ Of Wanders and Wars” bereits letztes Jahr veröffentlicht und legt jetzt noch `Child of Damnation` als dritte Single, mitsamt eines aufwendig produzierten Videos nach. Der Song hat  mit dem Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine leider einen hochaktuellen Bezug.

WHYZDOM erklären:

„‚Child of Damnation‘ is a song about war. Unfortunately, it seems to resonate in some way with recent events in Ukraine. The video takes you in the depths of a demonic castle and in the middle of a medieval war, instilled in the heart of men by devils and gods. Right after the battle there’s nothing left but death and despair over the land, and also one mournful  remorse: Forgive us, Child, for the hatred in our hearts and our fratricidal wars. Forgive us now for the greed and the blindness. You are the last hope of Humankind.“

Lyrics:

Delenda est Humanitas

Decernerent omnes deos

Criminalis homines sunt

Damnatio venit pro nobis

 

Apertum est hodie autem iudicium

Quod judicare ad crimina hominum

Deorum argunt solvent in favilla

Saeclum

 

All the seeds of hate have been sown by the devil

And the ministers of Gods

While men have danced to the rhythm

Of the war drums. Calling for blood.

 

Forgive us, Child, for we now have to die

And leave you alone in the night

Forgive us now, for it’s too late to come back

And save the world from chaos.

 

Damnation has come upon us today

Isn’t it what men deserve anyway?

We’re nothing but assassins of our own race

We made our choices and left our hope away.

 

Now the time has come to pray for the salvation

Of our impious souls

Once again we fight

Convinced that we are on the righteous side

Could it be a lie?

 

Forgive us, Child, for we forgot who we are

Possessed by the demons of war

Forgive the gods for they carved in our human hearts

The seed of this pure insanity

 

Damnation has come upon us today

Too late for regrets we shall die away

Heaven’s door has been closed for us today

Gods sentenced us to vanish from this world away

 

Hear the silence covering the land

And the beat of your heart

While the mist is shrouding the night

And the cold is freezing the bones of the warriors

And their swords, red from their blood

 

Forgive us, Child, for the hatred in our hearts

And our fratricidal wars

Forgive us now, for the greed and the blindness.

You are the last hope of humankind
