When Gargoyles Fly
Lefay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
WITH PATIENCE THEY WAIT FOR THE SIGN
THESE DEMONS OF OBSCURITY
SHALL FLY ONCE AGAIN - SOON THEY'LL BE FREE
THEY SHALL COME BACK FROM SHADOWS AND STONES
THEY SHALL RELIVE AS IN THE TALES FROM THE OLD
AND REMAIN FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS
LOOK ABOVE THERE YOU SEE THE SIGN
ON THE PURPLE COLORED SKY
REALITY CHANGE AND GRANITE COMES ALIVE
FOR TWO THOUSAND YEARS
THEY HAVE SLEPT WITH THIS CURSE
AND NOW IS THE TIME
WHEN THE GARGOYLES FLY
IN THE CENTER OF NOWHERE IN TIME
THEY ARISE WITH FURIOUS FIERY EYES
THEY EAGERLY SEARCH WHAT COMBINES
THE CLANDESTINE DOORS TO THE OTHER SIDE
THEY ARE FREE THE BATTALIONS OF FIENDS
LIKE A THOUSAND MILLION BEAMS
THEY STRIKE THROUGH THE VOID
LIKE A UNIVERSAL SCREAM
A METEORIC RAIN
IS FALLING DOWN TO EARTH
THIS IS THE TIME
WHEN THE GARGOYLES FLY
LOOK ABOVE THERE YOU SEE THE SIGN
ON THE PURPLE COLORED SKY
REALITY CHANGE AND GRANITE COMES ALIVE
FOR TWO THOUSAND YEARS
THEY HAVE SLEPT WITH THIS CURSE
AND NOW IS THE TIME
WHEN THE GARGOYLES FLY
The song When Gargoyles Fly by Lefay is a tale of the mythical creatures known as gargoyles that have slumbered for thousands of years, waiting for their time to come. The lyrics describe these creatures as "demons of obscurity" that are patient in waiting for their freedom. The song speaks of a sign, a purple-colored sky that appears, which signals the gargoyles' return.
The gargoyles are said to come back from the shadows and stones, reliving their former glory from ancient tales. They will remain for thousands of years after the earth has crumbled in tears. The lyrics state that when the gargoyles fly, reality changes, and granite comes alive. The gargoyles search eagerly for what combines the clandestine doors to the other side, and unleash themselves like a legion of millions of beams striking through the void.
The song's imagery describes their freedom as a meteoric rain falling down to earth, bringing destruction and chaos. The gargoyles' appearance is characterized as fierce, with their flashing fiery eyes as they emerge from the center of nowhere in time. They are free from their curse, and this is the time when the gargoyles fly.
In summary, the song describes the awakening of mythical creatures called gargoyles, freed from their slumber to bring destruction to the earth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the gargoyles' fierce and powerful appearance as they emerge from the shadows.

Parts are on YT and maybe the whole thing. Not scary that much now but on TV when I was young... man, that lead gargoyle looked real enough and his voice was just effed up.
