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.
Make a Wish
Morgana Lefay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never see the light and I seek
In this dark and lonely place
Safe and out of sight
Totally forgotten
I am waiting to be found
Satisfaction lies within
Release my cunning deeds
Command
You only have to find me
In this darkness trapped within
A jaded stone of evil
I'm a shadow - I'm a djinn
Satisfaction lies within
A wish of vainly sin
Release my cunning deeds
Your wish is my command
Whatever you wish for
I make it come true
But my interpretation
Is in practice a spell over you
Whatever you wish for
I make it come true
The lyrics to Morgana Lefay's song Make A Wish paint a picture of someone who is consumed by evil thoughts and desires. The opening line "I only dream of evil - it's my affliction" suggests that the singer is trapped in a dark and lonely place filled with negative energy. The following lines, "I never see the light and I seek", indicate that they are actively looking for a way out of this darkness, but are unable to find one. They are completely forgotten, waiting to be found, but no one is coming to save them.
The chorus "Satisfaction lies within, a wish of vainly sin, release my cunning deeds" depicts someone who finds satisfaction in committing immoral acts that are harmful to others. They are seeking someone to command them, to fulfill their every wish. They are asking the listener to find them, and as soon as they do, they will be at their command, fulfilling their every wish. However, the listener needs to be aware that this is not a simple request – it will come at a cost.
The last two verses make it clear that whoever finds the singer will have their wishes granted, but it will come at a price. The lines, "Whatever you wish for, I make it come true, but my interpretation is in practice a spell over you" indicate that the listener will, in essence, be under the singer's spell. They will be able to command the singer, but they will never be free from the shadows and negative energy that surrounds them.
