Never Again
Illnath Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the realm of the dead
Hatred born anew
Freezing souls unbound by fate
Comes to watch this abomination

She's calling out to him again
No answer is expected
Despairing in her pain
Feelings a whirlwind inside

In his wrath of the unjust fate
Chaos spreads among the dead
Never before a kind like him
Born from love and hate he is

But by the endless pit
The border eternal
Falling into the abyss
Is forever his love

All their pain
Comes again now
As the grayness of this empty
Realm forever

Trapped alone
Never more shall
Their love be fulfilled again
This romance is another

Never again shall they meet
Calling on him
Calling in vain

Hear the cries
All forlorn now
She feels eternity
Crushing her heart

Lost, alone
No postponing
The unavoidable
No more

Love
Shan't pass between
Lovers again

Fate
Brought pain and hurt
And now they know
Never again shall they meet

Now knowing his cruel fate
Believing the unwanted
Calling out to her in vain
Fortress of hatred he is

She's falling and the flames
Is licking her sweet limbs
Hearing his fated cries
Knowing cruelness is at play

Never again shall they meet
Calling on him
Calling in vain

Love
Shan't pass between
Lovers again
Knowing the cruelness of

Fate
Brought pain and hurt




And now they know
Never again shall she feel the embrace of her love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Never Again" by Illnath are rich in metaphor and are open to interpretation. The song appears to be centered around the theme of lost love and the pain that ensues when fate conspires against two lovers. The song paints a picture of a dark, desolate realm in which frozen souls, free from the shackles of fate, watch on as the singer (presumably a male) struggles to come to terms with his unjust fate.


The lyrics suggest that the singer had a great love (presumably with the female referenced throughout the song), but their love was doomed to fail due to the machinations of cruel fate. The singer is depicted as being consumed by hatred and anger toward the unjust workings of fate, and his heart is forever lost in the abyss of despair.


The lyrics also suggest that the female character is similarly affected by the loss of their love, with the pain of her broken heart crushing her in eternity. The song ends on a haunting note, with both lovers resigned to the fact that they will never again be able to unite in love.


Overall, "Never Again" is a powerful meditation on the theme of lost love and the challenges and pain that come with it. The haunting and evocative lyrics effectively capture the somber mood of the song and leave a lasting impression on the listener.
