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.

Night of the Storm
Mystic Prophecy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A dark mist hanging over the sky
Unholy rites look in to the flame
Screams of vain
A crying voice calls me
And take me away

I can see the end
But still I feed my dreams

With bleeding hands

The night of the storm
Into your soul
Hellfire tries to deceive you
The night of the storm
Into your mind
And now your last breath is mine

The secrecy becoms my dark mask
I turn my self in to the black of darkness

They chase my in shadows
And take me away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mystic Prophecy's "Night of the Storm" describe a scene of darkness and chaos where an individual is being called away by a "crying voice." The initial lines suggest an ominous and sinister atmosphere with a "dark mist hanging over the sky" and "unholy rites" being performed around a flame. The screams of vain and the crying voice add to the feeling of despair and hopelessness.

The individual in the song seems to be aware of the inevitable end, possibly their own demise, but they continue to hold on to their dreams even as their hands bleed. This could suggest that they are unwilling to give up despite the odds stacked against them. The chorus describes the night of the storm, where hellfire attempts to deceive the individual and their last breath is taken away.

The lyrics also suggest that the individual is being pursued and chased by an unknown entity, possibly the darkness itself. They have become one with the shadows and the dark mask of secrecy, which could imply that they have become consumed by their fear of death and have given in to the darkness.

Overall, "Night of the Storm" paints a vivid picture of a world consumed by darkness, where the individual is fighting to hold on to their dreams and avoid being dragged into the abyss.

Line by Line Meaning

A dark mist hanging over the sky
The sky has a dark mist covering it

Unholy rites look in to the flame
Looking into the fire for evil purposes

Screams of vain
Useless shouting

A crying voice calls me
Someone is calling for help

And take me away
Took the person away from where they were

I can see the end
The person knows something is going to happen soon

But still I feed my dreams
Despite the knowledge of the coming end, the person continues to have dreams

With bleeding hands
Their hands are wounded or hurt

The night of the storm
A night when a storm is happening

Into your soul
Referencing someone else's soul

Hellfire tries to deceive you
Evil is trying to trick or lie to someone
