In 2003 the band releases its first demo "Mournful Whispers", consisting of a very atmospheric and sullen ensemble of songs. From this point, Lethian Dreams began to explore heavier musical contractions, and soon new material is recorded and released in a self-produced demo called "Lost In Grief", where during 36 minutes, the band brings forth even more desolate and melancholic musical landscapes. The release collects a myriad of motivating feedbacks and the title song "Lost In Grief" ends up featuring the MetalStorm.ee compilation.
During 2005, the founding members part ways with the line-up and initiates the composing process for Lethian Dreams first album. Later that year, a first promotional version of "Requiem for my soul, Eternal
rest for my heart " is released. In 2007, the band decides to re-record it, as well as bringing on some new songs.
This refreshed set was renamed "Bleak Silver Streams" and was released in 2009 through Orcynia Records. Two years after this much acclaimed first album, the band composes new songs in a different approach, marking a more ethereal and acoustic sound. Set to be released via Twilight Records and titled "Just Passing by... & Unreleased Requiems", the upcoming album of the band is a collection of unreleased tracks from Lethian Dreams.
This collection features 4 new and totally unheard songs that the band wrote between 2005 and 2010. This new CD comes also with a re-edition of the 2006 "Requiem for My Soul, Eternal Rest for My Heart" promo CD that has been remastered for this occasion. "Requiem for My Soul, Eternal Rest for My Heart" is the first recorded version of the much acclaimed first album "Bleak Silver Streams" and offers different versions of the songs.
In 2012 Lethian Dreams releases its second full-length album "Season of Raven Words" and walks away slowly from the Atmospheric Doom of the beginning to explore a more ethereal sound and rawer guitar riffing. Inspired by nature, passing seasons, feelings, solitude, this album steps even further into the nature orientation to let the listener wander into the natural word, both perfect and cruel. With Season of Raven Words, the band reaches the summit of their musical work and achieve the perfect mix between atmospheric and dark music.

Lethian Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your mind burnt every cloud
In the sky, left is a flaw
Of a pale and dying star
While we're melting lies
Over dreams and life
Mourning suns rise on
Has misled our eyes
Mourning suns rise on
On the fields, the misty rays
Let forsee a mourning day
If the dawn don't wake again
You will bleed a thousand rains...
While we're melting lies
Mourning suns rise on
In the zephyr's night
Mourning suns rise on
While we're melting lies
Mourning suns rise on
In the zephyr's night
Mourning suns rise on
The lyrics to Lethian Dream's song "Dawn" carry a powerful emotional weight that is both melancholic and introspective. The opening lines convey a sense of stolen beauty and lost potential, as the singer's hands "stole the night winds blow" and their mind "burnt every cloud." Despite this seemingly powerful influence, all that is left is "a flaw of a pale and dying star," hinting at the fleeting nature of human desires and the impermanence of beauty.
The rest of the song builds on this theme of transience, as the singer mourns the passing of time and the inevitability of loss. The repetition of "mourning suns rise on" reinforces this idea, as if each morning brings a fresh wave of sadness and regret. The lines about "melting lies" and being misled by the "zephyr's night" suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with reality, instead clinging to illusions and fantasies.
The final stanza of the song is particularly powerful, as it depicts a world in which the dawn may never come again. The word "foresee" hints at a sense of predestination or inevitability, as if the singer knows that something terrible is about to happen. The idea of bleeding a "thousand rains" is both evocative and ambiguous, suggesting a kind of emotional or spiritual sacrifice in the face of an uncertain future. Overall, "Dawn" is a haunting and evocative song that explores some of the most fundamental and universal human experiences.
