The Whirling Dervish is called as such due to a dance performed during worship and ceremony. As they dance, one hand is facing up and one hand is facing down. This is to act as a path of positive energy to pass from the heavens to the earth for all life to benefit. They themselves serve only as a conduit and a servant. This concept of having a will to be a servant is what inspired this song. Lyrically, it focuses on the many people who do not see the value in being a servant. When in fact the reward for those with a will of servitude, is to serve.
lyrics
V1
A selflessness nature, is hard, to lie, about, when...
Your Pulled to measure, asked, to do, ing what, you...
Can not imagine, how, the will, of one, can...
Live in decision, hear, the many, and the few
Chorus
A time of callousness
Bleeds into the worthless
The constant suffering
The only offering
Actions without a gain
Are seen as a mistake
There's so much they can't see
Through endless nothing
V2
I cannot tell you, how, to pull, yourself out
To gain perspective, where, before, you had, none...
When time is given, by, the ones, who know. Doubt,
Become a servant, and can see, that we are one
Chorus
A time of callousness
Bleeds into the worthless
The constant suffering
The only offering
Actions without a gain
Are seen as a mistake
There's so much they can't see
Through endless nothing
Interlude
They will say
You will lose
Who you are
In servitude
