Sea of Evil
Axel Rudi Pell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They were sailing on the ship of the damned
Straight on the ocean to an unholy land
Sirens were calling, only exist to believe
Longing for their souls, possessed by the misty morning

Lights were shining
From far away
Praying for a wonder
They don't want here to stay

Their thoughts were blinded, the tide's turning high
Searching for fool's gold under the blackened sky
The sea is deep and it wait's endlessly
Hungry for souls, for you and for me

[Bridge:]
Lights were shining
From far away
Praying for a wonder
They don't want here to stay

Sea of evil
So many born to die
Sea of evil
Leaving tears in the sky
Sea of evil
Never asking why
Sea of evil
A heavenly cry

Northern lights once shined so bright
In a wonderful heaven, now are hiding in the night




The mood turned Zero, hearing echoes in the dark
The colors of a rainbow were in need of their spark

The song portrays a sense of despair and hopelessness. The travelers seem to have embarked on a journey without much thought, blinded by their desires for fool's gold, which is under the blackened sky. The sea is personified as evil and hungry, always waiting for more souls. The chorus repeats the phrase "Sea of evil," emphasizing the evil nature of the sea, portraying the sea's victims as the tragedies of life.


"Sea of Evil" is an inspiring metal song that portays the sea as a metaphorical representation of life's struggles. Some people find themselves embarking on journeys, thinking they are making progress, only to realize that they are sailing into a sea of evil, surrounded by mist, and confronted with a desperate situation. Life is like that sea, where it tests us in every possible way, and the song encourages us to stay strong and hold on tightly to avoid being swallowed by life's ruthless tides.

Their spirits turned to despair as they heard echoes in the darkness


The colors of a rainbow were in need of their spark
The colors of hope that a rainbow represents were absent and needed to be rekindled
