Dark Moor began the recording sessions for their second album, The Hall of the Olden Dreams, in August 2000 at New Sin Studios with producer Luigi Stefanini. During these recording sessions, the band recorded their cover of "Halloween", which was included on the CD The Keepers of Jericho part I - A Tribute to Helloween (Arise Records).
Their E.P. The Fall of Melnibone was released in June 2001. This E.P was a limited edition; 1500 copies were released and only for the Spanish market.
Dark Moor began the recording of their third album, The Gates of Oblivion, in Autumn 2001 at New Sin Studios. Dark Moor signed with the major label JVC for the Asian release. The band played 18 gigs at festivals such as Rock Machina, Viña Rock and Nit De Reis. After the first part of the tour, keyboardist Roberto Peña left the band and they were forced to finish the tour with a guest musician.
In August 2003 Dark Moor recorded four new exclusive acoustic tracks along with a string quartet, to be included in Between Light and Darkness, which was released in April 2003. Due to differing points of view regarding the musical direction for the next Dark Moor album, vocalist Elisa Martin, guitarist Albert Maroto and drummer Jorge Sáez decided to leave Dark Moor to start a new band.
The two remaining members of the band decided to start a search for new members. After the auditions, they accepted vocalist Alfred Romero, guitarist Jose Garrido, and drummer Andy C.
In August 2003, the band started recording their fourth album, Dark Moor, at New Sin Studios in Italy. Following a month of recording sessions, the album was mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios.
On 23 November 2006, the band announced the departure of their drummer on their official website, due to "incompatibility with his other musical projects." He would go on to play drums for Saratoga. His replacement, Roberto Cappa, was previously in the Spanish metal band Anima Sola.
In January 2009, their seventh album Autumnal was released.
The band made an announcement on their website, dated 4 June 2010, that their eighth album was in the works. It featured Berenice Musa as a guest vocalist. The album is titled Ancestral Romance and it was released in November 2010.
On 18 June 2013 the band released their ninth album Ars Musica, with the Japanese limited version including a bonus CD with five bonus tracks. They toured Mexico and Asia the same year, as well as few dates in Europe in 2014 to support the new album.
Dark Moor started recording their 10th studio album, Project X, on 27 July 2015 and released it in Europe on 6 November 2015 on Scarlet Records.
On 21 July 2018, Enrik Garcia, guitarist and founder of the band, announced via Facebook that their next album would be called Origins and that, after the parenthesis they did with ufology themes on Project X, they would return to their habitual themes; Origins will be about the celtic world, also adding celtic instruments on their new songs. This album has been released on 12 December 2018.
A Truth for Me
Dark Moor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaves flying in the air
When the wind strikes
Blowing everywhere
And I can't stay living in this tearful valley
So I just pray for having all the force
To be a stream leading its course
Flowing up to its source
(Bridge I)
But my love is for the only light
But my heart goes on standing right
(Chorus)
If I could flee
From my sorry thoughts
Like the rivers running slope down
At last to be free
When I see
Lovers who can dream
With sweet fancies that will never be
A truth for me
Nobody can live
Twice in just one time
Neither can give
Twice love in its prime
But can't prevent feeling
To surrender to love
So I feel myself prisoner of sin
When I give to the earth my skin
And my soul to the wind
(Bridge II)
But my love is keeping watch the night
But my heart cries the eternal fight
(Chorus)
(Bridge I)
(Chorus)
In the song "A Truth for Me" by Dark Moor, the lyrics describe the feeling of sorrow and longing for freedom from negative thoughts. The comparison to leaves flying in the air when the wind strikes emphasizes the idea of being tossed around and unable to control one's emotions. The singer prays for the strength to be like a stream, going with the flow and reaching their source. The references to love suggest that the sorrow may be linked to unfulfilled love and the feeling of being a prisoner to it.
The second verse emphasizes the idea that nobody can live or love twice in one time, and that surrendering to love can make one feel like a prisoner to sin. The comparison of giving one's skin to the earth and soul to the wind creates a sense of sacrifice and loss. The singer's heart cries out in eternal fight, perhaps struggling to reconcile emotions with reality.
Overall, "A Truth for Me" is a melancholic song that speaks to the universal feeling of being unable to control one's emotions and longing for freedom from negative thoughts and unfulfilled love.
