Their sound is described as hard and melodic, similar to American power metal bands such as Iced Earth, due to their melodic riffing and powerful drumming. The band was formed in 2000 by Valley's Eve bandmates R.D. Liapakis and Martin Albrecht. Gus G was recommended to them by David T. Chastain and played all guitars on the three first albums, but left in 2005 in order to spend more time on his own band Firewind.

Never Surrender
Mystic Prophecy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my eyes you can see the grief
My face can not cover the times which
Have now passed by
Always on the search for eternal death
Do you think that I will live on
To see the day
When the times stand still
The earth stops spinning around?

But the fire still glows
Deep in my heart

I open my eyes and look to the horizon
And let my mind fly away

Never surrender
Never look back in the past
Never surrender
And your pain will no more last
Never surrender
In your lonely days and nights
Never surrender
In your heart and in your soul
You're alone

I have the dream to be a gentle breeze
One day
Free from all of the load in my heart
Insanity has no end
Give me your judas kiss

And leave for the world of dreams
There I'll wait for you

Line by Line Meaning

In my eyes you can see the grief
My sorrow is so deep that people can see it in my eyes

My face can not cover the times which have now passed by
My face cannot hide the pain of my past experiences

Always on the search for eternal death
I am constantly seeking a release from the pain of life

Do you think that I will live on to see the day when the times stand still?
I doubt that I will ever experience a moment of peace and calmness in my life

The earth stops spinning around? But the fire still glows deep in my heart
Even if the world were to come to an end, my passion and drive will never falter

I open my eyes and look to the horizon and let my mind fly away
I often escape into the realm of my thoughts and imagination to escape the burdens of reality

Never surrender, never look back in the past
Do not give up, and do not dwell on past failures or regrets

Never surrender, and your pain will no more last
If you keep fighting, your suffering will eventually come to an end

Never surrender, in your lonely days and nights
Even in times of solitude and despair, you must remain steadfast

Never surrender, in your heart and in your soul you're alone
You may feel like you are alone, but do not let that discourage you from persisting

I have the dream to be a gentle breeze one day
My aspirations are to be light and free like a refreshing breeze

Free from all of the load in my heart insanity has no end
If I can let go of my emotional baggage, I will no longer be plagued by my insanity

Give me your judas kiss and leave for the world of dreams there I'll wait for you
Betray me with a kiss if you must, but I will be waiting for you in my dreams
