1.) A US power metal band
2.) A Pakistani death/thrash band
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.
The other is a Pakistani death/thrash band.
Synchronicity At Midnight / A Baying of Hounds
Cauldron Born Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Consecrated to the moon
Look into it long enough
Look deep inside of you
What the moon brings, visions holy or obscene
The walls of this world faded away
Sad voices they bade me follow them
Onward I strode the moonlit stream
The stream became a lake, the lake a sea
The dead faces vanished in the darkness
The moonlight showed what lay before me
What the moon brings, Horrors unholy, obscene
Great columns and spires obscurred by seaweed
A city lay there in the sea
Where the flesh from all churchyards comes to be
It knew me, I knew it
The monolith it arose from the city in the sea
Spake mind to mind with me
Tonight you're in the company of the old ones
Man has called through the ages Daemons,
So you wanted to see yourself on the grand scale
Look into me you and I are one
To know thy God is to know thy Devil,
Midnight rapture, synchronicity
Back through the waters of the worlds dead I ran
Both angular and curved currents of time
Carrying only my dark souls reflection
The apple, the snake, the garden, the fall
Vague symbols of the deed much worse than them all
They scented me at one point as I escaped through time
Plaster the walls 'round
Evil travels through the angles
A baying of hounds, beware
Evil travels through angles
The broken circle will be my end
Avoid the triangle, it's just a matter of time
Before the gates will open
I hear the baying of hounds
The monolith it arose from the city in the sea
Spake mind to mind with me
Tonight you're in the company of the old ones
Man has called through the ages Daemons
So you wanted to see yourself on the grand scale
Look into me you and I are one
To know thy God is to know thy Devil
Midnight rapture, synchronicity
The lyrics of Cauldron Born's song "Synchronicity At Midnight / A Baying of Hounds" describe an eerie and mystical journey into another dimension. The singer looks into a black mirror consecrated to the moon and is transported to a world where the boundaries between life and death, and reality and fantasy, are blurred. The moon brings both holy and unholy visions, as the singer encounters dead lotus faces leading him towards a city in the sea where the flesh from all churchyards comes to be. The monolith in the city speaks to the singer's mind, revealing that he is in the company of the old ones and warning him about the dangers of evil traveling through angles.
The lyrics suggest that the journey taken by the singer is not a physical one, but one of the mind and spirit. The black mirror may symbolize a tool for introspection, allowing the singer to examine the darker corners of his subconscious. The city in the sea may represent the collective unconscious of humanity, where all the fears and desires of mankind reside. And the monolith may personify an ancient and powerful force that guides the singer on his journey, revealing the secrets of the universe to him.

A black mirror forged in the ancient way
A mirror made in the traditional, old-fashioned method
Consecrated to the moon
Dedicated to the moon
Look into it long enough
Stare at it for a prolonged period
Look deep inside of you
Examine the depths of your being
What the moon brings, visions holy or obscene
The moon can bring divine or indecent visions
The walls of this world faded away
The barriers of reality dissolved
Sad voices they bade me follow them
Melancholic voices urged me to follow them
The dead lotus faces led the way
Faces resembling dead plants guided me
Onward I strode the moonlit stream
I walked forward on a stream of moonlight
The stream became a lake, the lake a sea
The stream transformed into a bigger body of water
The dead faces vanished in the darkness
The plant-like faces disappeared in the shadows
The moonlight showed what lay before me
The light of the moon revealed what was in front of me
What the moon brings, Horrors unholy, obscene
The moon can also bring terrifying and indecent things
Great columns and spires obscured by seaweed
Tall structures covered by underwater plants
A city lay there in the sea
A city was situated in the ocean
Where the flesh from all churchyards comes to be
Where the remains of those buried in cemeteries accumulate
It knew me, I knew it
The city and I were familiar with each other
The monolith it arose from the city in the sea
A massive stone structure emerged from the undersea city
Spake mind to mind with me
Communicated with me telepathically
Tonight you're in the company of the old ones
You are currently in the presence of elder beings
Man has called through the ages Daemons,
Humans have referred to supernatural entities as demons for centuries
So you wanted to see yourself on the grand scale
You wished to view yourself from a broader perspective
Look into me you and I are one
Examine me, and we will become merged
To know thy God is to know thy Devil,
Understanding God also allows you to understand the Devil
Midnight rapture, synchronicity
A feeling of intense delight and harmony with the universe at midnight
Back through the waters of the worlds dead I ran
I retreated through the sea of deceased people
Both angular and curved currents of time
Time flowed in both straight and curved pathways
Carrying only my dark souls reflection
Bringing along only a dark reflection of my soul
The apple, the snake, the garden, the fall
Symbolic references to the biblical story of Adam and Eve
Vague symbols of the deed much worse than them all
Unclear representations of an act more severe than Adam and Eve's transgression
They scented me at one point as I escaped through time
At one moment, they caught wind of me as I fled through time
Plaster the walls 'round
Cover the walls completely
Evil travels through the angles
Evil forces move through corners and angles
A baying of hounds, beware
The howling of dogs should serve as a warning
The broken circle will be my end
My demise will come when the circle is broken
Avoid the triangle, it's just a matter of time
Stay away from the triangle, my downfall is imminent
Before the gates will open
Before the entranceways become accessible
I hear the baying of hounds
I am able to detect the howling of dogs
