He rejoined his forces with Dionysus bass player Nobby Noberg, which Ronny describe as "The best bass player in the business", along with the exceptional guitar virtuoso Toya Johansson, which Ronny knew back from their studying together at the University Of Music, in Örebro Sweden.
The band scanned the whole internet to find a singer that would do their magnificent music justice and in the spring of 2008, they finally found the ultra talented voice of gold, Norwegian Jan Thore Grefstad, most known for his impressive singing in Norwegian power metallers Highland Glory and for being the singer in TNT guitarist Ronnie Le Tekro's second band Wild Willy's Gang, a position he took over after Jorn Lande.
The Saint Deamon line up was then complete and started to work on the debut album, under the guidance of the high acclaimed monster producer Jens Bogren, best known for his excellent work with Symphony X, Hammerfall, Opeth, Katatonia and Dionysus.
My Heart
Saint Deamon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saint Deamon
I’m falling down
I’m losing ground tonight
the time is running out
I have to stop this endless fight
I got myself to blame!
just like so many times before
too many sleepless nights
it’s time to say goodbye
My heart bleeds for you
My heart greed´s the truth
Too much pain inside and it´s all because of you
My heart sacrifice
My heart justifies
Love´s gone brocken and it´s all because of you
My Heart sacrificed
My Heart justified
lost and broken
and it’s all because of you
this is the end
I can’t defend anymore
feels like I lost the war without
being the one to fall
In the song My Heart by Saint Deamon, the singer is expressing their heartache, pain, and disappointment caused by a lover who has continuously let them down. The lyrics are laden with emotions of despair and grief as the singer accepts responsibility for the relationship's failure while placing the blame on the lover for their inaction in addressing the issues. The beginning of the song sets the tone for the entire verse: "I'm falling down, I'm losing ground tonight, the time is running out, I have to stop this endless fight." It's as though the singer is admitting defeat, realizing that they've fought for too long, and it's time to move on.
The chorus of the song, "My heart bleeds for you, my heart greed's the truth, too much pain inside, and it's all because of you, my heart sacrifice, my heart justifies, Love's gone broken, and it's all because of you," encapsulates the song's central theme, conveying the singer's breaking heart as a result of a broken relationship. The line "too much pain inside, and it's all because of you" hits hard, acknowledging that being in love with someone who consistently lets you down is incredibly painful. The song ends with resignation as the singer acknowledges that they cannot continue defending the relationship any longer, feeling like they've lost the battle without even being the one to fall.

It's strange to find that such an album is not famous between the metal masses. Perhaps it's due to its late arrival on the power metal scene when it was and still is almost certainly packed with bands competing to grab the spotlight. Honestly, if it hadn't been for my nature & curiosity in discovering things fully, I wouldn't have discovered this band. I would truly recommend this album to any metal fan and not only power metal enthusiasts. The songwriting, hooks and vocals are the highlights where few albums can outpass the quality found on this record. It's a record done from the heart and you can feel that nothing is forced. It's pure creativity and ambitions driving this band on their debut.
