Eternal Oath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And soon into my hands you will fall
I am the ruler of dreams
In midnight hour you will enter my world
Darkness knocks on your door, dream time arrives
Your world is gone, you have entered mine
The dawn-bringing the tears of the world
The dawn-also driving the darkness away
In here you can be whatever you want
We travel through lands, times and deeds
Realm of opportunities lies just in front of your eyes
The truth is gone, beaten by the fantasy
Darkness reaches for you, but you're safe until.
The dawn-bringing the tears of the world
The dawn-also driving the darkness away
Little child.
The lyrics of Eternal Oath's song "The Dawn" can be interpreted in various ways, but it seems to describe a world of dreams where one can escape the mundane reality of life. The singer in the song claims to be the "ruler of dreams," guiding the listener through a mystical world where they can be whoever they want to be. The darkness that knocks on the listener's door refers to their fears and troubles that they leave behind as they enter the magical world of dreams. The lyrics also suggest that the listener loses touch with reality and that the truth is replaced with fantasy. Finally, the dawn is presented as a symbol of hope, driving away the darkness of the night and bringing tears to the world, perhaps as a way to cleanse it of its sorrows.
The song can be seen as a metaphor for the power of imagination and how it can help us cope with the hardships of life. The singer offers the listener a way to escape their troubles and enter a world where they are free to create and explore without boundaries. However, the lyrics also suggest that such escapism can be dangerous and that one must eventually return to reality.
