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.

The Road Again
Dark Moor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have to leave my past pursuit
Now I realize which is the way to go
It is time to follow the route
The road again—like a revelation
The road again—without hesitation
I wanna go—where I gotta go
My road...
Another election, a new direction
Is just a second chance
Uneasy selections, some circumventions
Always a big advance
Aware of my actions expecting reactions
Collecting soon their fruits
It is time to follow the route
The road again—like a revelation
The road again—without hesitation
I wanna go—where I gotta go
The road again—like a revelation
The road again—without hesitation
I wanna go—where I gotta go
The road again—like a revelation
The road again—without hesitation
I wanna go—where I gotta go
The road again—like a revelation
The road again—without hesitation
I wanna go—where I gotta go
The lyrics to "The Road Again" by Dark Moor speak of starting anew and moving forward despite past failures and regrets. The opening lines reference a "grey mirage" that is fleeing in the presence of sunlight, implying that the singer is leaving behind a hazy and unclear past. The repetition of the phrase "the road again" suggests that the singer has made a similar journey before and has had to start over multiple times. The chorus declares that this return to the road is a revelation, and that the singer is moving forward without hesitation towards an uncertain future.
The second verse speaks about a new election and a new direction, implying that the singer is perhaps changing jobs or locations. There is a sense of ambiguity and uncertainty throughout the verse, with words like "uneasy selections" and "circumventions" highlighting the difficult decisions that the singer must make. However, the singer is aware of the consequences of their actions and is ready to collect the fruits of their labor. Once again, the chorus repeats the importance of going where one must go without hesitation, emphasizing the theme of forward motion in the face of uncertainty.

Esta banda merece todo el reconocimiento del mundo. Los conocí con el disco Tarot hace 13 años y desde ese momento siempre he estado atento a sus lanzamientos, además de escuchar sus trabajos anteriores. Un honor que hayan venido a Lima el 2007, fue un conciertazo <3
