Omen
Nox Arcana Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ghostly whispers fill the air,
Chanting omens to beware
Shadows stir in candlelight,
Then rise to prowl the dead of night
Spirits lurk within these walls
And wander these unhallowed halls,
Cursed to haunt this dark domain,
Where mortal woe and sorrow reign




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nox Arcana's Omen describe a haunting, eerie environment, where ghostly whispers and ominous chanting fill the air. The shadows themselves seem to come alive, prowling through the darkness of the night. Spirits are trapped within these walls, cursed to wander through unhallowed halls, unable to find rest or peace. The entire atmosphere is one of mortal sorrow and woe, as if some great tragedy has occurred within this place and its inhabitants are forever doomed to relive it.


Line by Line Meaning

Ghostly whispers fill the air,
Mysterious voices whisper in the atmosphere,


Chanting omens to beware
Saying a forewarning to take heed


Shadows stir in candlelight,
Silhouettes move in the flickering light of the candles,


Then rise to prowl the dead of night
Then rise and snoop during the lifeless nighttime hours


Spirits lurk within these walls
Ghosts or negative energies exist inside this place


And wander these unhallowed halls,
And aimlessly saunter in these unholy corridors,


Cursed to haunt this dark domain,
Doomed to harass this gloomy territory,


Where mortal woe and sorrow reign
Where human suffering and sadness dominates
