All tracks were written by Johan Edlund except for "Amanes" (Johan Edlund, Anders Iwers).
"Amanethes" is a Greek-Turkish word, describing a type of very slow Eastern-oriented song that usually contains the word "aman". "Aman" can be translated as “show some understanding”, or it declares “pain” and "sadness". According to a 2008 interview with mainman Edlund, the title stands for "mourning songs, like elegies".
"Katarraktis apo Aima" (track 7) means "Waterfall of Blood" in Greek.
"Misantropolis" (track 8) merges the Greek words "misanthropia" ("misanthropy") and "polis" ("city").
"Meliae" (track 11) refers to the nymphs of the ash tree known as Meliae or Meliai in ancient Greek mythology.
The "Via Dolorosa" (track 12, "Way of Suffering" in Latin and Italian) is the street in Jerusalem where Jesus walked carrying his cross on the way to his crucifixion.
"Circles" (track 13) ends with a fading female voice that recites Corinthians 13:4-8 and 13:3 from the Bible.
This album marked Tiamat's return after 5 years. Tellingly, it opens with the lyrics "It's been a long time but we are here again / It's been five long years of thunder, lightning, and rain".
