Dark The Suns was founded as Mikko's solo project in 2005 in Valkeakoski. The first demo, The Sleeping Beauty, was recorded later that year and it was demo of the month in Inferno-Magazine #34. In the beginning of 2006 Dark The Suns settled to Jyväskylä and Mikko's one-man project grew to a full band when Juha, Markus and Inka joined Dark The Suns.
In August 2006 Dark The Suns entered studio for their second demo and soon in the end of October 2006, Dark The Suns was signed to Firebox Records for two albums. Their debut album, In Darkness Comes Beauty, was released in autumn 2007. Followed by All Ends in Silence released in 2009 and Sleepwalking in a Nightmare a year later.
An official announcement was made in early 2013 saying that the band is no longer active.
After almost 10 years of hiatus the band released a teaser for the upcoming single "Suru Raivosi Sydämeni Pimeydessä" which is set to be released on May 21st 2020 by Inverse Records. This is the first single from the upcoming fourth album which is set to be released later in 2020.
A Darkness to Drown In
Dark the Suns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The blaze of light is dying down
There are no birds to sing our songs
Sleep with me, see a dream
In this darkness we may stay
Far away from this world
These are silent goodbyes
Into the night I drown with Sun
Deep in the shades, fallen from light
I close my eyes to see you near
The verses paint a picture of darkness and despair. The singer is drowning, using the word as a metaphor for succumbing to the night, as the sun sets and light fades away. The line "There are no birds to sing our songs" gives a sense of emptiness and loneliness. It's as if the singer is looking for comfort, but finding none. The second verse continues with the theme of darkness, as the singer urges someone to "sleep with me, see a dream" - suggesting that dreams are one of the few ways to escape the bleakness of reality. The phrase "Far away from this world" is striking, as it implies a desire to escape not just the night but the entire world. The song ends on a poignant note with the line "I close my eyes to see you near," suggesting that the only solace to be found is in imagination.
Overall, the song is a meditation on loneliness, despair, and the need for escape. The lyrics are simple but effective in conveying a sense of darkness and hopelessness.

Into the night we drown with Sun
We descend into darkness with the fading light of the day.
The blaze of light is dying down
The brightness of the day is fading away into the night.
There are no birds to sing our songs
In this dark and quiet place, there are no birds to serenade us with their songs.
Sleep with me, see a dream
Lay with me and let us dream together in this surreal darkness.
In this darkness we may stay
Let us remain in this obscure place for a while to escape the world.
Far away from this world
We seek refuge from the chaos of the world in this dark realm.
These are silent goodbyes
Without words, we bid farewell to the day and welcome the night.
Into the night I drown with Sun
Once again, I enter the darkness as the sun sets.
Deep in the shades, fallen from light
I am submerged in the shadows, removed from the brightness of the day.
I close my eyes to see you near
I shut my eyes, envisioning your presence in this lonely darkness.
