De Profundis
Dark Avenger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Dark Avenger]
- Why the magician is so disturbed? why those scenes of love and despair? who is this magic being who raises from waters? why all my questions still blow in the air?

[???]
- As fast as a blink of an eye the wizard rids the boy away, the amazing plan must go on, perfectly until the end of the day, meet the legendary Lady in the Lake, who holds a lost wonder which will prove the boy's royal blood, the ancients they call it by Caladvwch.

[The Lady of the Lake Teleth]
Pendragon passes now Pendragon's seed shall reign Pendragon on Pendragon's throne; a kingdom passes now a kingdom's king shall raise a kingdom for the king of kings; Much long ago with brave crafty hands, forged a mighty sword Caladvwch its name; to protect thee 'gainst all foes, forever more; see the mist is wafted away deep in magic mare I hold the sword take it son if ye have the hand.




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dark Avenger's song De Profundis seem to be questioning the identity and motives of a magician who is surrounded by scenes of both love and despair. The singer wonders about this magical being who rises from the waters and why they still have unanswered questions. The next lyrics introduce a wizard who quickly takes a boy away as part of an elaborate plan that must go perfectly until the end of the day. The plan involves meeting with the legendary Lady of the Lake who holds a lost wonder that will prove the boy's royal blood, and the item in question is "Caladvwch," also known as the sword of kings.


The Lady of the Lake Teleth then speaks directly, referencing Pendragon, a legendary figure who is related to the boy who has been taken away by the magician. Pendragon's seed shall reign on the throne, and she tells the story of how Caladvwch was forged by brave and crafty hands long ago. The sword is meant to protect its owner against all foes, and it is passed down through generations of the Pendragon family. The Lady of the Lake then reveals the sword to the boy, telling him to take it if he has the hand for it.


Overall, the lyrics of this song seem to tell a tale of magic and royalty, with the singer questioning the validity of the magician's actions and exploring the mythology behind the sword of kings.
