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.

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.
Born in the Dark
Dark Moor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fear in my eyes
And fighting with all the warriors
Keeping all the treasures
Hiding the reasons
And watching (the) warriors falling down
I would like to be a bird
I would like to be a man
I will feel free again
[chorus]
Born in the dark
Fighting with us
There is no reason to let you down
Come with us now
It's cold at dawn
There is no reason
Born in the dark
Power in my hands
Fear in my veins
And calling my brothers right now
Fighting with corpses
There is no return
And moving mountains with faith
I can see the light on me
I can see my destiny
When the fire runs with me
I will feel free again
[chorus]
The lyrics of Dark Moor's Born in the Dark convey a sense of dire urgency in the face of conflict and war. The verses describe a scene of chaos, with battles raging in the night, fear and treasure on the line, and warriors falling. The singer expresses a wish to escape this violence, to be free like a bird or a man, but ultimately acknowledges that they must fight alongside their comrades to survive. The chorus repeats the phrase "Born in the dark," suggesting that the singer and their allies have been forged in difficult circumstances and are ready to face whatever comes their way. The lyrics also touch on themes of brotherhood and sacrifice, with the singer calling out to their fellow soldiers and expressing a willingness to risk everything for their cause.
The song could be interpreted as a reflection on the aspects of human nature that are revealed during times of crisis, as well as the bonds that form between people in the face of adversity. It also seems to carry a message of hope, suggesting that even in the darkest of situations, there is a chance for redemption and freedom.
Line by Line Meaning
Wars in the night
Amidst the darkness, conflict arises
Fear in my eyes
I feel threatened and apprehensive
And fighting with all the warriors
Engaging in battle with all fighters present
Keeping all the treasures
Guarding valuable treasures and possessions
Hiding the reasons
Concealing the motives behind my actions
And watching (the) warriors falling down
Observing the demise of the fighters around me
I would like to be a bird
I desire to soar and fly freely
I would like to be a man
I also aspire to be a human
When the fire runs withe me
In moments of passion and intensity
I will feel free again
I will experience liberation
[chorus]
Refrain from succumbing to despair and follow us towards the darkness
Born in the dark
Originating and thriving in gloomy conditions
Fighting with us
Standing alongside us amidst struggles
There is no reason to let you down
No justification exists for letting someone fall astray
Come with us now
Join our ranks without hesitation
It's cold at dawn
The early morning brings upon a chilly atmosphere
There is no reason
No cause or motive exists for the current situation
Power in my hands
I possess a great deal of strength and control
Fear in my veins
My fear courses through me and influences my actions
And calling my brothers right now
Contacting and gathering my comrades immediately
Fighting with corpses
Engaging in combat against lifeless corpses
There is no return
No going back from this irreversible situation
And moving mountains with faith
I rely on my steadfast belief to defy impossible odds
I can see the light on me
I spot a glimmer of hope shining upon myself
I can see my destiny
I catch a glimpse of a predetermined fate
When the fire runs with me
In moments of passion and intensity
I will feel free again
I will experience liberation
[chorus]
Refrain from succumbing to despair and follow us towards the darkness
