Dawning in Darkness
Ravensire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I accurse my doom, in this godforsaken place
On a barren field I lie, still, my mind astray
All alone and shattered, my fate I must embrace
When the ghoul cries
The night will never die
Howling up to the sky
Yet no solace will I find when the morning comes
Demons lurk beyond, far away I hear their drums
And I'm cloaked in darkness, perpetual black void
Ready to take on the hunt, I won't rest till they're destroyed
The vertigo of the chase
I hide in opaque shades
Evil I despise
Still the gloom light and hope fades
Cast in an endless trap, my mind yields to despair
No amount of death that's left makes it easier to bear
Nightmare eternally, insanity is there for me
Swallowed by misery, shining light again will I see

As the morning comes, there is no solace to be found. Demons lurk beyond, as drums echo in the distance. The singer is cloaked in perpetual darkness, a void that never fades.

Gazing at the horizon, awaiting a new day
I am staring into the distance, hoping for a fresh start
I accurse my doom, in this godforsaken place
I curse my fate in this abandoned and forsaken location
On a barren field I lie, still, my mind astray
I am lying on an empty field, lost in my thoughts
All alone and shattered, my fate I must embrace
I am broken and alone, but I have to accept my destiny
When the ghoul cries
In the moment the monster wails
The night will never die
The darkness will endure indefinitely
Howling up to the sky
Letting out a piercing cry to the heavens
Dawning in Darkness - I rise
I emerge and awaken amidst the gloom
Yet no solace will I find when the morning comes
However, I will not find comfort when dawn arrives
Demons lurk beyond, far away I hear their drums
Evil creatures hide in the distance, their ominous sounds reaching my ears
And I'm cloaked in darkness, perpetual black void
I am surrounded by darkness, an everlasting abyss
Ready to take on the hunt, I won't rest till they're destroyed
Prepared to embark on the pursuit, I will not stop until I annihilate them
The vertigo of the chase
The dizzying sensation of the pursuit
I hide in opaque shades
I conceal myself in impenetrable shadows
Evil I despise
I detest wickedness
Still the gloom light and hope fades
Nevertheless, the darkness dims any glimmer of light or hope
Cast in an endless trap, my mind yields to despair
Trapped in an infinite prison, my thoughts succumb to hopelessness
No amount of death that's left makes it easier to bear
No matter how much destruction remains, it does not alleviate the burden
Nightmare eternally, insanity is there for me
An eternal nightmare, madness accompanies me
Swallowed by misery, shining light again will I see
Consumed by sorrow, I long to witness the return of happiness and radiance
