Until dawn
Nightwish & Tarja Turunen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My life, my king and my land
Land of war will turn into light
Divine light will give us strength
Sunlight divine cover my land
Angels of light take care of us
Still darkness surrounds myself
Among the trees I saw the gates of hell
I hear that someone screams my name
Devil claims for my life
Sunlight divine give me the strength
Angels of light show me the way
Flying up in the sky, riding through the wind
Until dawn things won't change at all
Strange sensations, fighting the evil in my heart
Angels of light help me save my land
Stars guide me in this night
Light my way to fight the dark
God, I pray to you one more time
With your help I'll save my land
Sunlight divine cover my land
Angels of light take care of us
Flying up in...
"Until Dawn" by Nightwish-Tarja Project speaks about the struggle between the light and the darkness within oneself, and the power of the divine to overcome it. The singer longs for his king, his land, and his life, and wishes for them to be shrouded in divine light that will give them strength. However, he is haunted by the darkness within himself, and feels as if the gates of hell are opening up before him. He hears the devil calling out his name and claiming his life. But he does not give in to the darkness; instead, he calls out to the divine once more for strength and guidance. He fights the evil within himself, with the help of the "angels of light," and flies up in the sky, riding the winds until dawn, when the divine light will triumph and the darkness will be vanquished.
The song addresses the theme of inner turmoil and the importance of faith in overcoming it. It conveys the idea that even when we feel surrounded by darkness, divine light can guide us out of it, and that there is always hope as long as we keep fighting. The lyrics also portray a sense of epic adventure, with the singer riding the wind towards an ultimate showdown between light and darkness.
