Among Thy Midnight Kings
Paragon of Beauty Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "Among Thy Midnight Kings" by Paragon of Beauty are deep and evocative, depicting a somber yet poetic mood. In the first two lines, the singer addresses a "moonchild," asking if they have seen a scene of contradiction; a "snowfall day" in a "summer green". This possibly implies an element of surprise or wonder at the turn of events, which leads to the next two lines "Undress your shame and probe the keys, Dark fountain of my tragedies," indicating the singer's desire to open up and reveal their deepest vulnerabilities to the moonchild. The word "keys" may refer to the keys of a keyboard, indicating that this song may be about the act of writing music; the "dark fountain" could be the wellspring of inspiration that flows from the troubled soul.

Furthermore, the next two lines "Like flutes we ride on soulforged wings, Flamedance among thy midnight kings" could mean that despite the troubles faced, the singer chooses to be resilient and sees themselves as soaring; navigating life with soul-made wings, in communion with others who have the same struggles (midnight kings). The final lines "My rage unfurled I bid farewell, No turning back, you've chosen hell" could be about the singer's emotional turmoil that they are leaving behind, saying goodbye to it, and moving on to a "hell" that promises to be different. This could either be literal or metaphorical.
