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.
Rumours Of Rain
Morgana Lefay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wild laughs, demons of wisdom
Recall all the heretics of the dawn
Cry out the names of the angels
Spell god as in the beginning
Profane is the devil's grimoire
Salute the sage, he's the last in line
He sin too, well but so do I
He is the king of infinity
Rise up, enter my shadow
Siege me, make me eternal
Save me, give me that piece of harmony
Pure me, sermon by fire
Burn up, envious liar
Black skies will darken
The world forever more
In a world of mystery
He shall rule, yes you shall see
He's in all, he's in you and me
He is the king of infinity
Dark angel of sin
He's calling to bring
Preach me the sefer Jezirah
Dark years, Fata Morgana
Black tears falling for the antichrist
Rise up, enter my shadow
Dark eyes, demons of wisdom
Black skies will darken
The world forever more
Salute the sage, he's the last in line
He sin too, well but so do I
He's in all, he's in you and me
He is the king of infinity
Dark angel of sin
He's calling to bring
The lyrics of Morgana Lefay's song "Rumors of Rain" contain themes of darkness, mysticism, and the struggle between good and evil. The opening lines refer to dark eyes staring through crystal, and wild laughs that summon demons of wisdom. The song seems to explore the idea that there is an underlying unity between the divine and the demonic, with references to both the heretics of the dawn and the names of the angels.
The lyrics also touch on the role of sin and the human condition, with the line "He sin too, well but so do I" emphasizing that even those who are wise and powerful are not immune to temptation. Toward the end of the song, there is a sense of impending doom, as the black skies darken the world forever more and the antichrist is lamented with black tears falling.
Overall, "Rumors of Rain" is a complex and thought-provoking exploration of spiritual and philosophical ideas.

Dark eyes staring through crystal
Seeing clearly through the illusions of the world
Wild laughs, demons of wisdom
Despite being demonized, the wise ones have a sense of humor
Recall all the heretics of the dawn
Remembering those who were shunned for thinking outside the box
Cry out the names of the angels
Calling on divine beings for guidance
Spell god as in the beginning
Acknowledging the creative power of the divine
Profane is the devil's grimoire
Evil can be found in books as much as in people
Salute the sage, he's the last in line
Showing respect for the elders and their accumulated knowledge
He sin too, well but so do I
We are all imperfect and prone to making mistakes
He's in all, he's you and me
The divine is present within everyone and everything
He is the king of infinity
The divine is infinite and all-powerful
Rise up, enter my shadow
Inviting others to join in a journey into darkness and self-discovery
Siege me, make me eternal
Seeking immortality through personal transformation
Save me, give me that piece of harmony
Finding inner peace and balance through spiritual growth
Pure me, sermon by fire
Purifying oneself through trials and tribulations
Burn up, envious liar
Destroying the falsehoods and deceit within oneself
Black skies will darken
Troubling times are coming
The world forever more
The world as we know it will not be the same after these dark times
In a world of mystery
The unknown and the supernatural are always present
He shall rule, yes you shall see
The divine will ultimately prevail
Dark angel of sin
The embodiment of evil
He's calling to bring
Evil forces are gathering
Preach me the sefer Jezirah
Seeking esoteric knowledge to gain power
Dark years, Fata Morgana
Uncertain and deceptive times
Black tears falling for the antichrist
Sorrow for those who follow evil
