Embrace
Sorrow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Having closed the door, they are staying on the path to Mort.
This road lay with black cobble-stones, disappears in foggy distance.
Small cold drops of rain are falling from gray funeral sky,
rolling down of their clothes into splits among the stones.
Rocks, drowning deep in mist, on their slopes seldom trees suffer their lives.

Reality, embraced with rainfull essence.
Impaling thorns, an epilogue
Fall into abyss, an epilogue
Narrow bridge through the river of oblivion. They are looking down,
but not seeing their reflections. The river slow and silent brings
lifeless waters from the valley of grief. Like shadows they follow the road,
which leads them to the top of the highest rock. Now staying at the
gates of Mort.

"The first step into darkness
Death wounds you




But the second step into darkness
Only for the strengths opens the immortality"

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Sorrow's song Embrace create a dismal and morbid atmosphere for the listeners. The closed door symbolizes the finality of death, and the path to Mort, or death, is described with black cobble-stones and mist. The small cold drops of rain add to the somber mood, and the fact that the rain is falling from the gray funeral sky suggests that someone has died. Even the rocks, trees, and slopes on the path are suffering and desolate. The bleak imagery tasks the listener with a powerful depiction of sorrowful abandon.


As the song progresses, the imagery shifts to an epilogue-like passage, with Impaling thorns, an epilogue, and the fall into abyss, an epilogue. These lines suggest death, eulogy, and finality of life. The image of the narrow bridge over the river of oblivion further cements the theme of losing oneself to the void. The lifeless waters from the valley of grief symbolize the hopelessness and despair that come with death. The listeners can understand that the individuals are following the path to their end, the top of the highest rock they approach. Now standing at the gates of Mort, death is both personified and imminent.

Its sublime anatomy of human spirit painted by electronic beats hiring some of the most wonderous textures being alive in chain of allness. Made me rebirth in harmony of old angel Dawn.
