Morrigan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thought will always be mine
The hell is hollow, the heaven left also
A sky under stars don't shine
And tears fall in a chalice of wine
The wind call a guardian of time
Through golden halls where the stars on the ceiling shine
And along carved death call in my mind
And one tell of glory and decline
A hidden shadow, god my fellow
And the ocean disclose the sacrifice of time
And i've seen now an angel who's calling my name
A whore in the moonlight, a sun secret flame
And we danced now together, drink honey and wine
And open the gates to other new time
Another morrow let the skyline red glow
And one tell of glory and decline
A hidden shadow, god my fellow
And the ocean disclose the sacrifice of time
And i've seen now an angel who's calling my name
A whore in the moonlight, a sun secret flame
And we danced now together, drink honey and wine
And open the gates to other new time
A king stands tall, far away a raven's call
A tarry in a world of ice and the void drill into my eyes
Walk along the screen shore where the waves deliver his war
Oh walk in hell and love the devil in thy eyes
The lyrics to Morrigan's song Requiem express deep emotion and imagery. The ravens, birds of ill omen, follow a path of sorrow and tell of the singer's thoughts that will always be with them. The idea of hell being hollow and heaven left as well portrays a feeling of emptiness and loss. The sky is devoid of stars, and tears fall into a chalice of wine, adding to the mournful tone of the song. The wind calls a guardian of time, and the singer is taken through golden halls where the stars on the ceiling shine. Death is carved into the walls of the halls, emphasizing the idea of loss and the brevity of life.
The song speaks of another morrow where the skyline is red, and there is a tale of glory and decline. This suggests that there is still hope for the future but acknowledges that there will be challenges and losses along the way. The ocean is said to disclose the sacrifice of time, suggesting that time is fleeting and valuable, and its sacrifice is necessary for growth and change. The singer sees an angel who is calling their name and dances with them, suggesting that there is still hope and love to be found amidst the sorrow. The reference to the devil and hell in the last line could suggest an acceptance of the darkness that exists within the world and within ourselves.

The ravens follow a path of sorrow and tell
The birds of happiness follow a path of sadness and reveal secrets
The thought will always be mine
My thoughts will forever belong to me
The hell is hollow, the heaven left also
Hell is empty, and so is heaven
A sky under stars don't shine
A sky with stars that refuse to shine
And tears fall in a chalice of wine
Tears fall into a cup of wine
The wind call a guardian of time
The wind summons a timekeeper
Through golden halls where the stars on the ceiling shine
Through majestic halls with starry ceilings shining down
And along carved death call in my mind
My mind is haunted by images of death
Another morrow let the skyline red glow
Another tomorrow that sees the sky turning red
And one tell of glory and decline
One person speaks of both fame and downfall
A hidden shadow, god my fellow
A mysterious presence, my divine companion
And the ocean disclose the sacrifice of time
The sea reveals the cost of time passing
And i've seen now an angel who's calling my name
I have witnessed an angel who is calling out to me
A whore in the moonlight, a sun secret flame
A promiscuous woman in the moonlight, and the secret flame of the sun
And we danced now together, drink honey and wine
And we've danced together, sipping on honey and wine
And open the gates to other new time
Opening doors to new times
A king stands tall, far away a raven's call
A king stands proud, while a raven's cry echoes in the distance
A tarry in a world of ice and the void drill into my eyes
Lingering in a world of ice with the void digging into my eyes
Walk along the screen shore where the waves deliver his war
Walking along the shoreline where the waves bring a battle
Oh walk in hell and love the devil in thy eyes
Oh, embrace hell and love the devil with your own eyes
