The Sun Turned Into Blood
Mistweaver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life didn't last long
The smell of death
Starting to fill the air
The crowd awaiting
For the exhibition of horror
The sun turned into blood
Accused of being a witch
Mary was burnt
From that day on the sinners
Would pay the price
Repent your unholy sins
Or your soul will burn with your body, eternally
When did you first meet satan
When did you sell your soul to him, the one in darkness
Mary elizabeth proctor
Soon you'll be released from this life of suffering
Just confess your sins
Allow to hear one word, say you are guilty
All your lies will one day be known
And the truth will come to light
But I will return to take revenge
If the gallow is my end
Or if I die in the flames
When the sky turns red
The sun will turn into blood
Whisper my name
Here I wait
I will lead your soul
Through the timeless paths, I am your lord!!!
And the sun turned into blood
And the sun turned into blood

The song then follows the story of Mary, who is accused of being a witch and burned at the stake. The lyrics call upon the listener to repent their sins or suffer the same fate. The chorus then repeats the haunting phrase "And the sun turned into blood," driving home the sense of impending doom and unrelenting horror.
