The band combines elements from different metal subgenres and has both male and female vocals - both clean and raspy (and growls). Tacere signed a recording contract with Suomen metalli musiikki (a sublabel of KHY Suomen musiikki Oy) at the very end of 2005. In June 2006 they released first single "I Devour", which was followed with EP "A Voice in the dark". This EP was postponed and released with same name as minialbum (release date: 1. November 2006). And finally in February 2007 was released their first and debut album "Beautiful Darkness".

Deep Tears of Tragedy
Tacere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my compulsive solicitude
Like a fading flower waiting for the rain to fall
I'm barely craving for salvation
Deep tears of tragedy
Show me the way
Deep tears of tragedy
I hear your heart, your soul
I sense the pain inside of you,
but still my mind feels no sympathy
The skies are clear
even though there's a storm inside my mind
I cannot force the rain to fall
Deep tears of tragedy
Show me the way
Deep tears of tragedy
The pain won't go away
I've been searching for an answer so long
(the answer lies in front of you)
Am I left alone with my horrors?
I am torn asunder and nothing will solace me
(is equilibrium the key?)
Like a pestilence this loneliness drives me mad
Deep tears of tragedy
Show me the way
Deep tears of tragedy
Show me a way the pain won't go come
Your agony hides you from a depressed entity
Yet hate seems like the only true reality
Deep tears of tragedy
Show me the way
Deep tears of tragedy
Show me a way the pain won't go come
The lyrics of Tacere's song Deep Tears Of Tragedy reflect on the loneliness and pain felt by the singer despite being close to their loved ones. The first stanza describes the feeling of being alone even though the singer is physically close to someone. They have an uncontrollable need for comfort and relief, similar to the way a flower needs rain to survive. The chorus repeats the phrase "Deep tears of tragedy," emphasizing the depth of the singer's pain and their yearning for a solution that hasn't come.
The second stanza is a bit conflicting as the singer claims to hear and sense the pain of their loved ones but still feels no sympathy. It's as if they're trapped in their mind, unable to connect with others on an emotional level. The storm within their mind is not visible to others, and the singer is unable to find relief even though they desperately need it. The last stanza talks about how the singer has been searching for answers but is left alone with their fears and worries. Their loneliness is overwhelming and driving them mad.
The overall message of the song seems to be the desire for relief from pain and loneliness, and the difficulty that one might encounter when trying to seek out that relief.

I can't stop listening to this song, I love it. I don't care about the whole Nightwish debate or whether the male vocals fit or not, or what kind of drum is used. This song is simply amazing because it makes me feel something, unlike extremely technically perfect songs of the bands everyone seems to like that leave me empty.

This is impressive. It's been a while I wasn't so impressed by a power metal band, and therefore I need to get this album.
