Tears of Darkness
Highlord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dream the dawn of the Darkness - the embrace!
Heavenly lights dance in the night
Blood on the altar smells sweet as it burns
I cried my love, - I sacrifice my joy!
Cast out as my father, - bounded in Hell!
Then come a sweet voice, with words of relief
She awakened me, - and I fell into the Abyss!
And shining lights tempted my pride
I wept blood and I drank my tears:
And He exiled me to wander
In Darkness, the land of Nod
For by a long road of Mercy
My children will dwell in the Light: Tears Of Darkness!
With fire and sword, will come their revenge
As the dark-winged angel had said
The ancient power is lost through the wars
In hiding we remain, - 'cause the hunt still goes on!
No one could say when the Father will rise:
And call for the City of Judgment
And He exiled me to wander
In Darkness, the land of Nod
For by a long road of Mercy
My children will dwell in the Light: Tears Of Darkness!
"When the snow consumes the earth
And the sun gutters like a candle in the wind
Then, and only then will there be born a woman,
The last Daughter of Eve.
And you won't know this woman, except by the
Mark of the Moon on her,
And she will face treachery, hatred, and pain
But in her there is the last hope"
The song "Tears of Darkness" by Highlord is a powerful representation of the turmoil and sacrifice involved in the struggle between light and darkness.

The lyrics speak of a dream of the embrace of darkness and a sense of comfort in the midst of heavenly lights dancing at night. The fallen angel has sacrificed his joy and cried his love, cast out by his father, and just when he is about to fall into the abyss, a dark glowing woman awakens him, accepting his tears.
The imagery in the lyrics is powerful, as it shows the singer weeping blood and drinking his own tears, a symbol of his desperation and his desire for redemption. The song speaks of the ancient power that has been lost through wars and the hunt that still goes on for those in hiding. The fallen angel is exiled to wander in the darkness until his children will dwell in the light, representing the hope of a brighter future. The song ends with a prophecy of the last Daughter of Eve who will be born when the snow consumes the earth and the sun gutters like a candle in the wind, bringing the last hope for the light to prevail.

But in her there is the last hope
The last daughter of Eve will have a mark of the moon, and though she will face great obstacles, she is seen as the last hope for salvation.
