Obscure
Ceremony Of Opposites Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under the dark skies of the night the fading light of a falling angel
Under the bright full moon the slaughtering of the beast is yet to come
In the foreign castle the words have been spoken, the curse has been made
Inside the endarkened room the life of a man's been replaced

[Bridge:]
Darkness has come to take over everything, and to rule over this world of sickness
[Chorus:]
The horror shown tonight has never been seen by man's eyes
This sequence of obscure occurrences took away their chance to hide
For the thing that none of them ever wanted to see
For as dark as night it eternally will be
A shadow has fallen over all of mankind
All light's been taken away to never return again
Forever we all will live in total blackness
And never see a ray of light pass by!

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[End theme (screams):]
Before the tomb opened and the beast came out, the ground above it moved from side to side
All the clouds in the sky turned from blue to black... as there was no turning back




It put it's first step on the ground an retrieved the powers it ones had lost
And now it's back on earth and it will rule forevermore!

Line by Line Meaning

Under the dark skies of the night the fading light of a falling angel
In the dark of the night, a fallen angel's light is disappearing


Under the bright full moon the slaughtering of the beast is yet to come
As the moon shines bright, there's still time to kill the beast


In the foreign castle the words have been spoken, the curse has been made
The curse has been cast after the words were spoken in a foreign castle


Inside the endarkened room the life of a man's been replaced
A man's life was taken in a dark room


Darkness has come to take over everything, and to rule over this world of sickness
Sickness has taken over and darkness rules everything now


The horror shown tonight has never been seen by man's eyes
Tonight's horror is beyond anything humans have ever witnessed


This sequence of obscure occurrences took away their chance to hide
Obscurity made it impossible for them to hide


For the thing that none of them ever wanted to see
They all feared what they knew they would see


For as dark as night it eternally will be
It will always be as dark as the night


A shadow has fallen over all of mankind
Humanity's future is now bleak


All light's been taken away to never return again
The future looks dark and there's no hope for light


Forever we all will live in total blackness
We will forever live in total darkness


And never see a ray of light pass by!
There will be no light to see ever again


Before the tomb opened and the beast came out, the ground above it moved from side to side
The ground trembled as the beast was about to rise


All the clouds in the sky turned from blue to black... as there was no turning back
The sky turned dark and there was no hope left


It put it's first step on the ground an retrieved the powers it ones had lost
The beast regained its lost power and stepped onto the ground


And now it's back on earth and it will rule forevermore!
The beast is back and will rule forevermore
