Damage's lineup with… Read Full Bio ↴Originating from 2 Swedish metal bands ,1986 formed
Damage's lineup with 85' former Sepher Jezirah vocalist, replacing the second guitarist, the band changed their name to "Morgana Lefay" before releasing a self-financed album named "Symphony Of The Damned" in 1989 with glowing reviews and responses. The second release dubbed "Rumours Of Rain" in 1991 was a demo tape of convincing quality, which got them a contract at the Black Mark label, in 1993 releasing "Knowing Just As I" album , echoing worldwide, followed by a european tour.After another second guitarist replacement, a third 1995 "Sanctified" album is released. Taking a festival like European tour with, Tad Morose, Memento Mori & Cemetery, and another one with Gamma Ray later that year. Releasing 1996 "Maleficium" & 1997 compilation "Fata Morgana", changing their name to Lefay for legal reasons concerning a dispute with the label; signing for Noise Records and releasing the 1998 "The Seventh Seal" & 1999/2000 concept "...---..."(SOS) albums.
Ending the contract with Noise Records, followed by long pause, made the band to reactivate themselves, taking the full name "Morgana Lefay" , returning to the former label Black Mark and releasing the 2005 album "Grand Materia", followed by 2007 "Aberrations Of The Mind".
Often neglected for their mid to slow paced brooding heavy metal, yet a not unjustified approach to songwriting in the same power/heavy metal genre of cliche's. Everything about this band puts them ahead of their time, symphony involved approach in the early days when it wasn't a trend driven addition to the already high quality music, especially the trash tinged riffs, savoring an abandoned genre and not crossing it but rather blending & and putting it to good use again.Although having a musical identity of their own, they don't get avoided by the genre-labeling scientists, Charles Rytkönen's dramatic and sometimes haunting vocals get often compared to Jon Oliva's but in a positive way.
Blind
Morgana Lefay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the discovery
That led this way
My eyes can testify to miracles
You wont believe the things I've seen
In my immortal life
I see the truth behind every lie
And I sense who shall live
The knowledge of the blind humanity
Where insanity controls the world – I weep
Open up your eyes
Knowing just as I
Blind
You are blind
Blind
The room bulges and every atom is pulsating.
The hollow sound of a wind chime rings pleasantly
In the distance. my fear is gone and a feeling of
Calm is spreading through my body.
Your chime
Is calling
I'm coming
I'm yours
Oh, time
Nothing
Matters to me anymore
I am harvested by the scythe of time
I'm not the virus that I where before
Time will heal all wounds – I'm sure
Its ascending, descending course
Strikes with out remorse
Finally it finds
The scythe of time hits blind
Blind
You are blind
Blind
Time strikes blind
The Morgana Lefay song "Blind" speaks of an immortal who is seven centuries away from a discovery that brought them to where they are now. They had seen many things in their long life and can see the truth behind every lie. They possess the knowledge of humanity's blindness where insanity controls the world, and they weep for it. The immortal is calling out to open the eyes of the blind, condemning their ignorance. The song speaks about the pain of living life having seen so much, knowing so much, yet realizing how little of it is understood by others. The second part of the song speaks of the harvester of life, time. Though the scythe of time is deadly and merciless, it is also the passage of healing through time, taking away the power of what once hurt them.
The lyrics of the song have a deep meaning that reaches beyond the literal words. The immortal's words emphasize the importance of education, research, and knowing what's going on around us. The "blindness" of humanity highlights the lack of understanding and knowledge that leads to irrational behavior and cruelty. The pain and sorrow felt by the immortal are accentuated in the final verses by the theme of time. The scythe of time reminds the listener that the wounds that hurt now will eventually heal.
