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.
Metamorphosis
Cryhavoc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The light attracts all you children of light
Every night pilgrimace is part of your mystery
Towards the light towards the last flight
Fly towards the light like all the moths in the night
Fly like it would be your last flight
I rise on my jet-black wings and fly through the smoke
Again the shadows grow and lights begin to glow
It's time for new moon, that's why the army grows
Now this, then that light is everywhere
Which one you choose I'll be there
Fly towards the light like all the moths in the night
Fly like it would be your last flight
I rise... on my jet-black wings and fly through the smoke
I see you as my queen
When the chrysalis has broken broke
Time for the last flight and the metamorphosis is near
Before the dawn the magic wouldn't disappear
After the metamorphosis you'll be all mine
You in my arms I drink your love like wine
Fly towards the light like all the moths in the night
Fly like it would be your last flight
I rise on my jet-black wings and fly through the smoke
I see you as my queen
When the chrysalis has broken broken

The lyrics describe how the dusk falls on a town of misery, and the children of light are attracted to the light. The pilgrimage towards the light is a mystery that they are all a part of, and it leads them towards the last flight. The singer of the song encourages the listeners to fly towards the light like moths in the night as if it were their last flight. He rises on his jet-black wings and flies through the smoke, seeing his beloved as his queen once the chrysalis is broken.
As the shadows grow, lights begin to glow, and the army grows because it is time for the new moon. Now, there is light everywhere, and the listeners have the option to choose which one they want to follow, and he promises to be there with them. The singer reiterates the importance to fly towards the light like moths in the night, and he rises on his jet-black wings once again, expressing how he sees his beloved as his queen in the metamorphosis.
The song hints at a metamorphosis that is about to happen; the time for the last flight is near, and it is accompanied by magic, which shouldn't disappear before the break of dawn. After the metamorphosis, the singer suggests that the subject will be his, and he will drink their love like wine. Overall, the song is a beautiful ode to change, light, and transformation.

When the dusk lays hands on the town of misery
As the sun sets on a depressing town
The light attracts all you children of light
Those who seek hope are drawn to light
Every night pilgrimace is part of your mystery
Mysterious nighttime journeys are routine
Towards the light towards the last flight
Flight towards the light, towards the journey’s end
Fly towards the light like all the moths in the night
Moth-like, fly towards glimmers of hope
Fly like it would be your last flight
Fly with urgency as if it's the final flight
I rise... on my jet-black wings and fly through the smoke
Rising with dark wings and flying through dark clouds
I see you as my queen when the chrysalis has broken broke
Upon metamorphosis, you are royalty to me
Again the shadows grow and lights begin to glow
The cycle of darkness and light continues
It's time for new moon, that's why the army grows
The army emerges for the arrival of the new moon
Now this, then that light is everywhere
Both hope and despair exist in every aspect
Which one you choose I'll be there
Regardless of choice, I will always be present
Time for the last flight and the metamorphosis is near
The final flight is approaching, metamorphosis is imminent
Before the dawn the magic wouldn't disappear
The magic lasts until dawn
After the metamorphosis you'll be all mine
Upon metamorphosis, you belong to me
You in my arms I drink your love like wine
In my embrace, I savor your love
