Dragon Into the Fire
Dark Moor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Close your eyes and you think
That the magic died long ago
And all grayness was grown
You will see it there
Dancing in the light
Trying to arrive to your soul
You have to have faith
Then mountains you'll move
You'll know that it's true
When you will look and see
[chorus]
In the sky
The dragon is into the fire
He's taking the night
In the sky
When your mind is far
Ride your white star
You'll arrive to the light
In the sky
The way will be hard and long
But you have to be strong
The beast lurks in the shadows
Waiting to drain your your life
It knocks on your door
Waiting for response
Take its mighty hand
You have not to fear
The magic has to live
Spurting from your soul
You'll know that it's true
When you will look and see
[chorus]
The lyrics in Dark Moor's song Dragon into the Fire describe a magical journey of self-discovery and the need for faith. The song initially acknowledges the presence of darkness in the silence, with the suggestion that one may think that all magic is gone. However, the lyrics invite the listener to look deeper and upon doing so, they will see the light and magic present. It is necessary to have faith when striving to access these elements, and with that faith, mountains can be moved as the person's soul is reached by the magical being, the dragon.
The song urges listeners to take a leap of faith even when the journey is tough, shadowed by lurking beasts waiting to drain one's life force. The response to the beast, however, should be to take its mighty hand and accept the magic that comes from it. The lyrics continually stress that the magic must live on, and it is possible as long as it is spurted from one's soul.
Overall, the song Dragon into the Fire is a powerful metaphor for one's journey to self-discovery and acceptance. Despite the darkness and difficulty of the journey, the song reminds us that with faith, magic can still exist and can overcome any obstacle.
Line by Line Meaning
In the silence of the darkness
When everything in your surroundings is quiet and still
Close your eyes and you think
Take a moment and reflect
That the magic died long ago
You may have lost your sense of wonder and enchantment
And all grayness was grown
The world seems dull and monotonous
You will see it there
But if you look closely
Dancing in the light
You may find that there is beauty and wonder in the world after all
Trying to arrive to your soul
Something is seeking to connect with your inner being
Flying with mighty wings
This entity is powerful and majestic
You have to have faith
Belief and trust are essential
Then mountains you'll move
With the right mindset, you can overcome any obstacle
You'll know that it's true
You will realize this is real
When you will look and see
Once you become aware of its presence
In the sky
High above you
The dragon is into the fire
A dragon is engaged in an intense and fierce conflict
He's taking the night
It is overcoming the darkness
When your mind is far
When you are distant in your thoughts
Ride your white star
Follow a guiding light
You'll arrive to the light
You will emerge into the realm of enlightenment
The way will be hard and long
The journey will be challenging and time-consuming
But you have to be strong
You must muster your courage and resilience
The beast lurks in the shadows
A ferocious creature is waiting in hiding
Waiting to drain your your life
It seeks to sap your vitality and energy
It knocks on your door
It is an ever-present threat, seeking to breach your defenses
Waiting for response
It is waiting for you to take action
Take its mighty hand
Confront this adversary, even if it seems daunting
You have not to fear
Do not be afraid
The magic has to live
You must reignite your sense of wonder and awe
Spurting from your soul
Allowing your inner essence to flow outward
You'll know that it's true
You will recognize that this is authentic
When you will look and see
Once you begin to observe the world with newfound clarity
[chorus]

Lilith, you are me. All. Lucifer is Dead! Edo Tensei.
Ron EverGrow
Lilith and Lucifer are two different beings 1 is created as the creation of light the other Darkness( Christ said I have said my angels to confess I am the bright Good Morning Star and Hebrew Ben Hillel Shachar Son of the Dawn lucifera the Sun Lilith is the creation of Darkness represented by the Crescent or Christian moon So, שטן Satan is Chashok חשך, dark, black as the charcoal, and this is because שטן Satan grows dark from the psychological night (לילה lailah) we inhabit. It is written:
“And Elohim called the aur אור (light, lucem) Day, and Chashok חשך (the darkness) he called לילה lailah (Night).”
So, the night, לילה lailah, is Chashok חשך, the darkness that covers our formless and void ego or שטן Satan, which that lurks within the deep levels of the mind, that all of us as trapped souls inhabit.
On the other hand we have aur אור, light, which in Latin is lucem, the root of the word Lucifer. Lucifer (light) is completely the opposite of שטן Satan, the son the לילה Lailah, Lilith, the night. Lucifer is a Latin word that means “light bearer.” Lucifer is the Spirit that bears the light. Moses wrote:
“And the Spirit of the Elohim moved upon the face of the waters. And Elohim said, fiat lux et facta est lux (Let there be light: and there was light).” - Genesis 1: 2, 3
In the Bible there is only one place where we find the word Lucifer, as a translation of the Hebrew word הילל Hillel, which means “glorified one.” Observe that הילל Hillel in reverse spells לילה Lailah, “night.”
Lucifer (Hillel הילל) is not an English word, nor that of any other language but Latin. Lucifer derives from the Latin word lux or lucem, which means “light,” and fer, a Latin word meaning “bearer.” Fer in the English language is similar to ferry, which means “to carry”or “to bear.” So, “light bearer” is actually what Lucifer translates to; a carrier of light. Thus, Lucifer (Hillel הילל) is the light or the Spirit of the Elohim that has the duty of giving us enlightenment. Hillel הילל is the Spirit that gives liberty to Elohim to say, “Let there be light: and there was light.” Enlightenment is a common word that is very well known in the Buddhist philosophy where we find the word Buddha meaning “enlightened one.”
Lucifer (Hillel הילל) is the one that grants us enlightenment. But, for this to happen, we must first defeat him as שטן Satan (the son of the lailah לילה, night). Hillel הילל (the son of the dawn) will not give us enlightenment if we do not defeat שטן Satan first. This is precisely the beauty of this archetype that all of us have within. Our duty is to “whiten the devil” or to “whiten Satan” and to transform it into Lucifer, the giver of light. In the Book of Revelation it is written that the Lord Christ, whose countenance was as the sun shining in his strength when appearing to John the Divine, says:.........
