After all the twists and turns, ups and downs that we have lived through as years rolled by I never thought that there would be a day when Wrath and I put our musical partnership to a shelf. The decision was a moment of both great sadness and great relief. However, this was something that had to be done at this stage to ensure the continued productive musical careers of both parties. I can assure you all that both Wrath with True Black Dawn and I with the remaining members of Enochian Crescent, now known as The Crescent, shall outpour new music with newfound vigour and intensity.

When we founded Enochian Crescent in 1995, Wrath and I made a pact that should either quit the band we would put the name to rest also. As a man of my words I shall honour this agreement. The remaining members (Bolton - drums, Tunturituuli - bass, Vilhelm - guitar, and Viktor - guitar, vocals) shall continue the musical legacy of Enochian Crescent and you will be hearing songs from the old albums in the live-set. We recruited Hellwind Tuonenjoki as our new lead vocalist, who is already singing on the upcoming The Crescent album "Risti" (transl. Cross) which shall be released by Spinefarm Records in early 2013.

The remaining band members wish Wrath all the best in the future and I personally want to thank my long standing Omega Comrade and friend for all these years. He is a man with unique vocal talent and personality to match in this world of mediocrity.

Even though these news might shock and upset some, worry not; it was all for the best. And you may enjoy both the voice of Wrath and the music of Enochian Crescent in near future.

When Tears Run Dry
Enochian Crescent Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I believed in me
Young Blood coursed in my veins
Innocent and naive
No Harm befell my path

I'm A Cut on A Teary Cheek
Dark Whore, The Salt in your Wounds
Lust, Death and Bitterness, thus am I?

Yes, even angels Weep for my kiss

Sumentes Calicem Principis Inferorum

I'm wrest Askew
When your voice Died (I did too)
My Tears ran dry
And my song was Left Unsung

Sweet Pain, It can be anything
With the love we make, we Fall from grace (again)
Celebrate your Flesh, Liberate your soul
I am The Fire, I'm everything, I am...

Initation to Infernal Sacrament
Invitation to eternal life

Vinum Sabbat, The Infernal Sacrament
Invitation to A Carnal life

Sumentes Calicem Principis Inferorum

Oh, beautiful one
Let me drink from your fountain
Fill my mouth with your waters
For words they are

Drained from me...
...Drained from me...

Overall Meaning

Enochian Crescent's song "When Tears Run Dry" is a dark and haunting track that speaks of a deep longing for something lost. The opening lines, "I believed in me, Young Blood coursed in my veins, Innocent and naive, No Harm befell my path" are an expression of a once optimistic and hopeful spirit that has been disillusioned by the harsh realities of life. The singer laments that he is "A Cut on A Teary Cheek, Dark Whore, The Salt in your Wounds, Lust, Death and Bitterness, thus am I?" This is a powerful statement of how pain and suffering have shaped and defined the singer's identity. The line, "Yes, even angels Weep for my kiss" suggests that the singer has given up hope of finding love and acceptance in this world and is resigned to a fate of eternal loneliness.

The middle section of the song is a mournful reflection on lost love, "When your voice Died (I did too), My Tears ran dry, And my song was Left Unsung". This is a raw and emotional moment in the song, where the singer reveals the depths of his pain and suffering. However, there is also a sense of acceptance in the later lines, "Sweet Pain, It can be anything, With the love we make, we Fall from grace (again), Celebrate your Flesh, Liberate your soul, I am The Fire, I'm everything, I am...". The singer seems to have come to terms with his fate and has found a glimmer of hope that he can still find meaning and purpose in his life, even without the love he once lost.
