Mourning Palace
Dimmu Borgir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As evenfall strikes into the sky
Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight
Sickening souls cry out in pain
Whispering voices summoning screams
Waiting for Satan to bless their sins
Blackhearted angels fallen from grace
Possessed by the search for utter darkness
Hear the cries from the Mourning Palace
Feel the gloom of restless spirits
Hear the screams from the Mouring Palace
Feel the doom of haunting chants
Eternal is their lives in misery
Eternal is their lives in grief
Abandoned in a void of nothingness
A chain of anger, a fetter of despair
In this garden of depraved beings
This unsacred place of helpless ones
Satan blessed the creatures
Inswathed them in endless night
Whispering voices, summoning screams
Waiting for Satan to bless their sins
Blackhearted angels fallen from grace
Possessed by the search for utter darkness
The lyrics to Dimmu Borgir's "Mourning Palace" paint a very dismal picture. As the sun sets and the moonlight flickers in the sky, a group of traumatized souls cry out in agony. They are plagued by evil spirits and are waiting for Satan to bless their sins. These souls are heartbroken and grieving for their lost lives. Their being is in a state of despair and anger, which are described as chains that hold them back from any hope.
The song presents the idea that there is a void of nothingness, which is filled with creatures who are abandoned and forsaken. These creatures are cursed to live in a state of eternal misery and grief. The Mourning Palace is described as a garden of depraved beings, haunted by the spirits of the dead. The Blackhearted angels, who have fallen from grace, possess a desperate search for ultimate darkness.

Daylight has finally reached it's end
The end of the day has arrived
As even fall strikes into the sky
As dusk descends upon the world
Far away in the dark glimpsing moonlight
A distant view of the moon in the dark sky
Sickening souls cry out in pain
The tormented souls scream in agony
Whispering voices summoning screams
Soft whispers calling forth shrieks of terror
Waiting for Satan to bless their sins
Anticipating Satan's approval of their wickedness

Angels corrupted and condemned by evil
Possessed by the search for utter darkness
Obsessed with the pursuit of complete darkness

Eternal is their lives in misery
The misery that they endure is never-ending
Eternal is their lives in grief
The sorrow they feel will last forever
Abandoned in a void of nothingness
Left alone in a place of emptiness
A chain of anger, a fetter of despair
Trapped by their own indignation and hopelessness
In this garden of depraved beings
A place filled with wicked creatures
This unsacred place of helpless ones
A place where the powerless reside
Satan blessed the creatures
The creatures were given Satan's blessing
Inswathed them in endless night
Entangled them in a forever-lasting night
Whispering voices, summoning screams
Soft whispers calling forth shrieks of terror
Waiting for Satan to bless their sins
Anticipating Satan's approval of their wickedness
Blackhearted angels fallen from grace
Angels corrupted and condemned by evil

@frankiebloodshed
That one trumpet player headbanging the whole time is my favorite thing about this video tbh. You don’t have to look metal or give off a metal vibe to be metal as hell
@diocollins2379
Trombone, but yes, you are right, looks can be deceiving.
@WolfhoundMercenary
What about that violinist with the facepaint on.
@rinozisa9396
Real musicians appreciate good music, regardless of genre.
@hektorlinko
Hell Yeah I love that Trombone guy! He's the real deal. He appreciates the band and it totally shows in his performance pure and clear and honest. Kudos that that guy!!! He is totally Cobra Kai Material and knows how to sweep the leg! A+++++
@tlfearofthedarkhun387
You can also see some people headbanging behind him, left side a girl in that cloth.
@hunty11
That trombone player is a legend. I'm suprised most of them are sat still!
@Ballad2Grave
2:45 the violinist too! :D
@felixvanhuizen9347
he had the night of his life
@TheTombree
I heard it in Ricks voice after one look of your profile picture hahaha
