With Blood Adorned
Silentium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh it behoved me
The hilt in the night
Though my heart may falter
I've yielded to fate
Such peace in her slumber
Though she'll never wake
Black swan rising
Spreading wings
Forlorn by the light of the day

Take me, wraith of witchery
Take this pain, oh take me away
Oh it betrayed me
The mirage so fierce
Cursed and tarnished thine name
Yet she hath nay wrought




Foes are here my dagger
Adornments of blood

Line by Line Meaning

Oh it behoved me
It was necessary for me


The hilt in the night
To hold the handle at night


Though my heart may falter
Even if I'm afraid


I've yielded to fate
I accept my destiny


Such peace in her slumber
She's at peace while sleeping


Though she'll never wake
Even though she'll never wake up


Black swan rising
A dark entity is coming


Spreading wings
Expanding its power


Forlorn by the light of the day
Sadness when things are clear


Take me, wraith of witchery
A ghostly apparition taking me away


Take this pain, oh take me away
Take this pain and take me with you


Oh it betrayed me
My trust was misplaced


The mirage so fierce
The illusion was intense


Cursed and tarnished thine name
Your reputation has been damaged


Yet she hath nay wrought
Yet she did not cause this


Foes are here my dagger
Enemies provoke me to fight


Adornments of blood
My blade is stained with blood
