The next album Black Sun was released on 29 April 2002 and entered the German LP charts at place 55. Halford-Guitarist Mike Chlasciak contributed the guitar solos for the songs "Fear" and "Armageddon".

In February 2007, during the recordings for the next album New Religion, the band decided after long discussions about the future of the band that Henny Wolter would return as 2nd guitarist and Tom Naumann would leave the band. The album was finished under the direction of producer Mat Sinner and engineer and co-producer Charlie Bauerfeind and was mixed by Roland Prent in the Galaxy Studios in Belgium.

Early March 2008, the band announced that longtime guitarist Stefan Leibing had left the band because he wanted to spend more time with his family and his business. On future releases and tours he would be replaced by Swedish guitarist Magnus Karlsson, who already contributed two guitar solos for the New Religion album. In December 2008 the band entered the House of Music Studios to record their next album 16.6 (Before the Devil Knows You're Dead). They said that "the music includes a lot of the vibe of our very first albums" and that "a new Primal Fear album always contained some new musical challenges, real surprises". The Album was released on 22 May in Europe and 9 June in the US. The Video for the song Six Time Dead (16.6) has premiered on 8 May on the band's official MySpace channel. The Album reached No. 46 on the German, No. 52 in Swedish and No. 28 in the Japanese album charts. The band started their longest tour ever in South America, North America, Canada, Europe and Japan to promote their new album. A new live CD and DVD was recorded during every leg on the tour.

Tears Of Rage
Primal Fear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm still waiting, the master of disguise
Can't you hear me calling in my deepest desperation
I talked to the angles, cause I'd broken every rule
And if you hurt me, there's a way back to you
I found a reason out in this mystery
I opened up my soul
Don't leave me waiting
Until my heart is gone
It takes two times
There's no holding back now
Until I found you again
Tears of rage
Into the real world we said our last goodbye
Betrayed ourselves only for our selfish pride
I'm disillusioned, threw my heart into the flame
A touch of heaven
I opened up my soul
Don't leave me waiting
Until my heart is gone
It takes two times
There's no holding back now
Until I found you again
Tears of rage
Five in the morning, I'd lied to myself
Time to surrender as I see your face
I just want to hold you
I could make you mine again
A touch of heaven
I opened up my soul
Don't leave me waiting
Until my heart is gone
It takes two times
There's no holding back now
Until I found you again
It takes two times
There's no holding back now
Until I found you again
Tears of rage
Tears of rage
The lyrics of "Tears Of Rage" by Primal Fear present an emotion-driven story of heartbreak, self-reflection, and hope of rekindling lost love. The song's protagonist finds himself alone, wearing countless masks, and waiting in desperation. His brokenness has led him to talk to the angels and break every rule, seeking a way back to the one he loves, even if he has hurt him/her before. He longs for a touch of heaven, a reason that is still a mystery, and awaits the return of his heart.
The second half of the song hints at a past betrayal and selfish pride, causing the singer to throw his heart into the flame and become disillusioned. However, he still hopes to reconnect as he sees the face of his beloved again, despite previously lying to himself. The chorus repeats the words "It takes two times, there's no holding back now, until I found you again, tears of rage," emphasizing the perseverance required to win back the love of his life.
Line by Line Meaning
Out here alone, I will wear a thousand faces
I'm on my own, so I have to be many people to survive
I'm still waiting, the master of disguise
I'm patiently waiting for my chance to reveal my true identity
Can't you hear me calling in my deepest desperation
I'm crying out for help in my lowest point
I talked to the angles, cause I'd broken every rule
I begged for forgiveness from the angels because I've done everything wrong
And if you hurt me, there's a way back to you
Even if you hurt me, I'll find my way back to you
I found a reason out in this mystery
I discovered a purpose within the unknown
A touch of heaven
A piece of paradise
I opened up my soul
I revealed my true self
Don't leave me waiting
Please don't make me wait
Until my heart is gone
Until I'm completely heartbroken
It takes two times
I have to go through it twice
There's no holding back now
I can't stop this process anymore
Until I found you again
Until I reconnect with you
Tears of rage
Crying out of anger and pain
Into the real world we said our last goodbye
We parted ways in the physical world
Betrayed ourselves only for our selfish pride
We sold out for our own ego
I'm disillusioned, threw my heart into the flame
I'm disappointed and heartbroken, so I gave up love
Five in the morning, I'd lied to myself
I deceived myself at 5 AM
Time to surrender as I see your face
It's time to give in now that I see your face
I just want to hold you
I only want to hug you
I could make you mine again
I could be with you once more
