In the summer ´96 the drummer and bass player decided to quit the band. The new players were found soon (both play also in another upcoming Helsinki act Absurdus), and once again the band changed its name to RAVENSFALL.
In the fall of ´96 the band recorded their third demotape, but unluckily for the band, at the same time Absurdus got signed, and the drummer and bass player were not able to continue playing in two bands... again they had two new guys in, and the band changed their name once more, to Cryhavoc.
Cryhavoc entered the Tico-Tico Studio in January 1998 to record their debut album "Sweetbriers" ("wild roses") for Spinefarm Records, who signed a multi-album deal with the band.
Cryhavoc’s second album ”Pitch Black Blues” was released in August –99 in Finland and later all over Europe. In December 1999 their 'Pitch Black Blues'–album was released through Rock Brigade Records and Laser Company Records in South America and there was the whole promo/demo –96 as a bonus track.
Come With Me
Cryhavoc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wait you in a shade of tree
I prey upon every night
You're my victim
the children of light
Night is my kingdom and
You're my queen
carry you in my realm
I've seen those visions,
visions in a mist
I've seen you and
those scars in your wrists
So don't be afraid
I'm here by your side
I won't throw you
to the wolves (won't I?)
Your look is full of fear
don't let the seed of doubt grow
come and walk next to me
in the darkness so hollow
Come with me and
I bring you moon
from the sky
and you gonna be mine
Walk with me into darkness,
dance with me under these stars
you and I gonna win these wars
You the children of light
Me the spawn of night
Your virtue
Aah my carnal
When we, you and me
Unite You and me
When my bad seed
is growing in you
I can control you as I want
Our covenant is built to last
our covenant is written in the stars
Come with me and
I'll bring you moon
from the sky
and you gonna be mine
Walk with me into darkness,
dance with me under these stars
you and I gonna win these wars
Come with me...
Dance with me...
Take my hand and You'll see...
Who really is me
Come with me...
Dance with me...
Take my hand and You'll see...
The lyrics of Cryhavoc's song "Come With Me" are dark and foreboding, describing the perspective of a seer who preys upon their victim every night. The seer waits for their victim under the shade of a tree, claiming that they can see visions in a mist, including scars on their victim's wrists. Despite their past behavior, the seer claims that they won't throw their victim to the wolves and urges them to come with them into the darkness. The seer promises to bring their victim the moon from the sky and they will win these wars together.
The lyrics of the song present a disturbing picture of a manipulative individual who preys upon vulnerable individuals. The seer's promise of the moon from the sky is an allusion to the idea of manipulating someone with grand promises that they cannot fulfill, and the idea of winning wars as a united front highlights the seer's view that they and their victim are at odds with something, likely society. The song highlights the idea that many individuals who are taken advantage of by manipulators or abusers often have doubts and fears, and the abuser will prey upon these emotions to gain a sense of control.
