Alone Through Path of Sorrow I Walk
Daemonicium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You, Rising Death
Join me where the winds are weeping
And trees have no hearts!
Take me to the land of fathers you Mighty Star Dweller
Across the barrens and evergreen woods
To home of my Damned Kind
Holds me to the ground I cannot breath
Sands fills my nose and maggots in months
From centuries I seek for my Promised Land
She is my asylum in Road of Death I walk
This little mortal creature she knows to whom I belong
Her fearless eyes gazing so faithfully
Crystalline as ice that chained my humanity
Behold the fear in your blazing hart
Rip off your bars of pain and despair
Together will be walking through the ashes of grief
Caressing my pity, violating my pain
In golden chalice I keep my lunar breed
Like a host of lamb, drowned in blood
With colors of night I will spread on your hair
The veil painted in dusk and despair
From your heart I tear all your fire tears
Master of confusion I'm falling on my knees
With bloodthirsty blade I want to share your fate
To never see when my colors begins to fade
In silence I cut night to free the stars
In scream of emptiness I find a feeling deep inside
In this river flowing over hills and plains
We shall drown our sorrow, grimness and despairs
In silence...
I cut night to free the stars
In silence...
I touch her skin so cold as marble stone
Her closed eyes reminds me that I'm alone
The river's dry and no-one fills my emptiness
This wounds will never bleed remains without caress
To dare the Devil I must walk the Path of Death
And never see the land in which my demons breathe
With burning heart I stand alone on snowed peaks
In winds that freezes mind, in urgent heat of feel...
To reach the crown of life with Dragon I must fight
Devouring me from inside, in every lonely night
Did fire burn again did mirrors shows my face?
Do I return on road once more, when heart step out of trace...?

The burden of time weighs heavily on the singer, suffocating him and making it hard to breathe. He seeks a promised land, a place where he can find asylum and belonging. In this journey, he is accompanied by a creature who knows to whom he belongs, and her fearless eyes give him strength.
As the journey continues, the singer and his companion face their fears, rip off their bars of pain and despair, and walk through the ashes of grief together. The singer finds solace in his lunar breed, which he keeps in a golden chalice. They drown their sorrows, grimness, and despairs in a river flowing over hills and plains.
Despite the beauty of their surroundings, the singer is haunted by the emptiness he feels inside. He touches his companion's cold, marble-like skin and realizes that he is alone.

Line by Line Meaning
Join me in the realms of madness
Come with me to a place where madness reigns
You, Rising Death
You, who represents death and destruction
Join me where the winds are weeping
Come with me to a place where the winds are filled with sorrow and despair
And trees have no hearts!
In this place, even the trees are devoid of emotions and compassion
Take me to the land of fathers you Mighty Star Dweller
Guide me to the place where my ancestors reside, oh powerful star being
Across the barrens and evergreen woods
We will journey through barren and lush landscapes alike
To home of my Damned Kind
To the place where my cursed brethren reside
The burden of time I try to struggle with
I attempt to contend with the weight of time's passage
Holds me to the ground I cannot breath
It's so heavy that it keeps me pinned to the ground and suffocates me
Sands fills my nose and maggots in months
I'm surrounded by sand, and even maggots consume me over time
From centuries I seek for my Promised Land
I have searched for my destination for centuries on end
She is my asylum in Road of Death I walk
She is the only comfort I have as I walk the path to my eventual demise
This little mortal creature she knows to whom I belong
Despite being a mere mortal, she understands our connection and my identity
Her fearless eyes gazing so faithfully
She stares at me with unwavering trust and courage
Crystalline as ice that chained my humanity
Her eyes remind me of the cold and unforgiving nature of humanity
Behold the fear in your blazing hart
Look at the fear that resides within you, burning hot and uncontrollable
Rip off your bars of pain and despair
Break free of the confinement and agony that weighs you down
Together will be walking through the ashes of grief
We will walk together through the remains of our sorrow
Caressing my pity, violating my pain
She touches my emotions and causes them to stir and hurt even more
In golden chalice I keep my lunar breed
I possess a sacred and rare breed of life force within a valuable container
Like a host of lamb, drowned in blood
Like innocent lambs that have been brutally killed and bled out
With colors of night I will spread on your hair
I will paint your hair with the dark and gloomy hues of the night sky
The veil painted in dusk and despair
An aura of hopelessness and despair envelopes us
From your heart I tear all your fire tears
I force you to shed all of your passionate emotions
Master of confusion I'm falling on my knees
I am the ruler of chaos, yet I still feel humbled and defeated
With bloodthirsty blade I want to share your fate
I am willing to die alongside you, with a weapon in hand and a thirst for blood
To never see when my colors begins to fade
I would rather die than watch my vitality and vibrancy diminish over time
In silence I cut night to free the stars
I silently and carefully create an opening in the night sky, allowing the stars to shine
In scream of emptiness I find a feeling deep inside
Through a hollow and deafening scream, I discover a profound emotion within me
In this river flowing over hills and plains
In this river that travels through various landscapes, including hills and plains
We shall drown our sorrow, grimness and despairs
We will succumb to our grief, depression, and hopelessness together
I touch her skin so cold as marble stone
I feel her ice-cold skin, akin to the texture of solid stone
Her closed eyes reminds me that I'm alone
Her inability to see highlights the fact that I am indeed all alone
The river's dry and no-one fills my emptiness
Not even the river, which typically symbolizes life and vitality, can alleviate my emptiness
This wounds will never bleed remains without caress
My unhealed wounds remain unattended and unaccompanied
To dare the Devil I must walk the Path of Death
In order to challenge the ultimate evil, I must first walk a path towards death
And never see the land in which my demons breathe
Even if I succeed, I may never be able to experience a sense of peace and tranquility
With burning heart I stand alone on snowed peaks
My heart burns with determination as I stand alone in the snowy mountaintops
In winds that freezes mind, in urgent heat of feel...
The intense winds chill my thoughts, yet I still feel a sense of fervor and urgency
To reach the crown of life with Dragon I must fight
In order to achieve ultimate victory and glory, I must fight a formidable dragon
Devouring me from inside, in every lonely night
The dragon is slowly consuming me from the inside, tormenting me every night
Did fire burn again did mirrors shows my face?
Did I reignite a passion for life? Did I become reminded of my own identity?
Do I return on road once more, when heart step out of trace...?
Will I end up back on the same road, lost and uncertain, when my heart deviates from its intended path?
