Moonlight
Labyrinth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Faced to the ivory gates of dreamsland
I look my steps being lost in the sand
Is this the place where they created your soul
Where all your tears have been shed for so long?

Moon don't tell me lies
Don't let me roam forever
Moonlight take the sky
Show me the way to heaven

Moonlight shining in the sky
Nothing more can stop my flight
Take my hand again, fly with me
Thousand million miles away

Leaving the town of the ancient dreams
New reasons come to live for

Now that we are leaving out of maze
I can imagine all the masters' rage
Meaning is that love is stronger than hate
Meaning is that will is stronger than fate

Moon don't tell me lies
Don't let me roam forever
Moonlight take the sky
Show me the way to heaven

Moonlight shining in the sky
Nothing more can stop my flight
Take my hand again, fly with me
Thousand million miles away

Moonlight shining in the sky
Nothing more can stop my flight




Take my hand again, fly with me
Thousand million miles away

Overall Meaning

In Labyrinth's song Moonlight, the singer is lost and searching for answers. They are faced with the gates of dreamsland and are unsure if this is the place where their soul was created and where their tears were shed. The moon is personified as they plead with it to not tell them lies, to not let them roam forever and to show them the way to heaven. They take flight with the moonlight shining in the sky and the singer is able to leave behind the town of ancient dreams for new reasons to live. As they leave the maze, the singer realizes that love is stronger than hate and will is stronger than fate.


The imagery used in the song is evocative and provides a sense of wonder and mysticism. The metaphor of the maze and the gates of dreamsland suggest that the singer may have been lost in their own mind or searching for their own identity. The moon as a guiding light is a common trope in literature and provides a sense of hope and guidance for the lost protagonist. The song's message is clear: no matter what obstacles one may face, love and willpower will always triumph over hate and fate.

I must have been like 11 years old when this album was released. That song blew my mind as an intro, i was left speechless. Return to Heaven Denied as a whole is one of the best power metal albums ever. It's one of those albums that have no fillers and you can listen to their whole duration without a pause or skipping anything. Too bad we don't get albums like that released anymore, it's been years.

@TubeHDR

+Dimitris Lianidis The closest I have came for a fantastic neck and neck with this particular style is:

"Rage" - Album : "Unity"
"Edguy" - Album : Mysteria"
"Kamelot" - Album : "Black Halo"

... May you rock on metal brother ;D \m/
