One is a power metal band. Cauldron Born was the vision of Howie Bentley. The guitarist and composer took years in the 90's to form a band with musicians up to his caliber. He eventually found bassist Shawn Kasack, drummer Bill Parsons, and singer Christian Shulcze. The four recorded a demo called "Swords, Sorcery, and Science" and signed with the Italian based label Underground Symphony. With new singer Danny White on board, they released their debut, "Born of the Cauldron" in 1997. After a few years and a re-release of their demos along with some older demos of Bentley's, they released their follow-up to Born of the Cauldron in 2002. It was dubbed "...And Rome Shall Fall". It also had a new vocalist, David Louden. They played several festivals in the following years with live vocalist Zane Matthews, before officially splitting in 2003.

On broken wings of sorrow
Cauldron Born Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It went down down into the fire and it makes me sigh
Daybreak
Daydreams of long ago and far away
Down the river Styx we glide on leathern wings of night
Where fallen stars never swept the winds before
Can we find peace of mind
Midnight on a lonely night a star it fell from the sky
It went down down and it fell into the fire
And it makes me cry
How long gone and how long will we stay
Born of night we were strong
Couldn't bow before the Tyrant's throne
Fallen angels lost their way
There's tears in the prophets eye as we dream to fly
On our broken wings of sorrow
Cadaverous children rise from the grave
Steal the sulfurous scented night
As dead and living watch them go mount the sky of night
Bathing with darkness blinding moonlight
Now we're rebel angels just left out in the cold
Haunted by the memories cursing streets of gold
And how long since we've gone away
Streets of gold haunt my dreams forever more
The lyrics to Cauldron Born's song "On Broken Wings of Sorrow" are dark and mysterious, painting a picture of midnight on a lonely night. The song begins with a star falling from the sky and into the fire, causing the singer to sigh. The lyrics transition to daybreak and daydreams of long ago and far away. The singer then speaks of gliding down the river Styx on leathern wings of night, searching for peace of mind in the nevermore. The song continues with the falling of a star into the fire once more, but this time causing the singer to cry. The lyrics speak of being born of night and being strong, unable to bow before the Tyrant's throne, but feeling the pain of fallen angels who have lost their way. The song ends with cadaverous children rising from the grave and now being rebel angels left out in the cold, haunted by the memories of the cursing streets of gold that they've left behind.
The lyrics are very metaphorical, with the star that fell and the leathern wings of night representing the darkness and struggles the singer is going through. The river Styx is symbolic of the journey towards death and the unknown. The song speaks strongly about the pain of being left out or feeling like an outsider, with rebel angels left out in the cold and the singer haunted by memories of the past. Overall, the lyrics seem to speak of a struggle against authority and feeling lost or out of place in the world.

Midnight on a lonely night a star it fell from the sky
At midnight, on a night with no one by my side, a star fell from the sky
It went down down into the fire and it makes me sigh
It fell down into the flames, and it makes me sad
Daydreams of long ago and far away
I daydream of days long gone and places far away
Down the river Styx we glide on leathern wings of night
We glide down the river Styx, riding on wings made of leather and darkness
Where fallen stars never swept the winds before
We travel to a place where stars no longer shine in the sky
Can we find peace of mind
Will we ever find true peace in our thoughts and hearts
In this nevermore
In this place where nothing exists anymore
And it makes me cry
And it makes me shed tears
How long gone and how long will we stay
How far have we come, and how long will we remain here
Born of night we were strong
We were born in darkness, and we possessed great strength
Couldn't bow before the Tyrant's throne
We refused to submit to the rule of a cruel and oppressive ruler
Fallen angels lost their way
Angels who once held great power have been defeated and have lost their sense of direction
There's tears in the prophets eye as we dream to fly
The prophet weeps as we aspire to soar in flight
On our broken wings of sorrow
Despite our wings being damaged and hindered by sorrow and pain, we still strive to fly
Cadaverous children rise from the grave
Undead children emerge from their graves
Steal the sulfurous scented night
They take away the pungent and unpleasant smell of the night
As dead and living watch them go mount the sky of night
The dead and the living observe as the undead children ascend into the night sky
Bathing with darkness blinding moonlight
They are immersed in darkness, making the moonlight seem blinding in comparison
Now we're rebel angels just left out in the cold
We have become rebellious angels who have been cast out and abandoned by others
Haunted by the memories cursing streets of gold
We are tormented by the memories of our past, resenting the materialistic and superficially luxurious life
And how long since we've gone away
And it has been quite some time since we have left that place
Streets of gold haunt my dreams forever more
The mere thought of the streets of gold continues to haunt and disturb me in my dreams
