The first studio recording of the band, a demo CD titled "U kori tame", was recorded in early 2003. It was well received by the audience and the webzines and fanzines, as well as some radio stations which have been promoting it. The demo contains 4 songs (3 in English and 1 in Serbian) and it represents the first period of the band's creative efforts. This material was done when the line-up was somewhat different than later; consequently, the genre of music was somewhat different – namely, the demo contains quite a bit of gothic influences alongside doom and death metal riffs.
Their first full-length album titled "Fragile Monuments" was released in August 2006. A second album, titled "Perdition Calls", was released in June 2009.
In 2015, they composed a 6-track album with the working title Ephemeral Architecture, but they split and did not record it due to lack of interest.

Prophecy
Tales Of Dark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That live through hearts of foolish ones
Consume this world to ruin it all
While horror breeze strikes the flesh.
Upon our heads the dark age rise
Blackened skies that hide the stars
Fathers cast the curse on sons
Blood will flow, no eden comes!
Words of love have become a myth
Sacred dogmas brought us chains
In godless world of walking corpse.
War
Divine extinction
Our father
Can you save me now?
Again I feel so lonely
And bitterness fills my heart
Never the sun will rise
And sanity betrayed my mind.
For all I saw
Was more than lie.
Alone with empty hopes
No skies left to see
Without my only dream
I am dying in agony.
For all that I believed
Is gone, it is tearing me.
Fire skies will burn my eyes
The smell of rotten tears my lungs
Empty cry rips eternal dark
For salvation and hand of god.
Hidden lies cannot fool my eyes
Their moral failure starts world's demise
See the cripples starve in blood
See the truth - there is no god!
The song Prophecy by Tales Of Dark delves into the eternal fears that reside within unknowingly weak hearts, causing the world to be consumed and ruined. The dark age rises as the blackened skies, concealing the stars from the eyes of the people. The fathers cast a curse on the sons, inevitably resulting in bloodshed and destruction. The lyrics go on to express that there is no one left to kneel and pray, and that words of love have become a thing of myth. The dogmas that were once sacred have now become chains in a godless world of walking corpses. The final lines speak of hidden lies that cannot fool the eyes, and the moral failure of those that bring about the demise of the world. The truth of the matter, the song says, is that there is no god.
The lyrics of Prophecy are a commentary on the state of the world and the dark age that is rising. It speaks of a time where despair is inevitable and even the hope of salvation and the hand of god is nothing but an empty cry. The song reflects on the sadness and loneliness that fills one's heart when the things they once believed in are no longer there. The song expresses the frustration and disappointment of a world that has lost its way and is consumed by the eternal fears of the unknown.

And sanity betrayed my mind.
The world is so overwhelming that it is driving me mad
For all I saw
The truth that I have witnessed
Was more than lie.
Is too awful to be denied or ignored
Alone with empty hopes

No skies left to see
The world is so dark that there is nothing to look forward to
Without my only dream
The one thing that gave me hope is now gone
I am dying in agony.
The pain of living in such a bleak world is unbearable
For all that I believed
The things that I once held to be true
Is gone, it is tearing me.
Have been stripped away, leaving me feeling broken and lost
Fire skies will burn my eyes
The world is so bleak that even the sky is on fire
The smell of rotten tears my lungs
The air is filled with the stench of decay and despair
Empty cry rips eternal dark
The pain and hopelessness of the world is overwhelming
For salvation and hand of god.
A plea for some kind of divine intervention to bring relief from this suffering
Hidden lies cannot fool my eyes
The truth is so evident that even the lies meant to obscure it cannot deceive me
Their moral failure starts world's demise
The moral decay of society is leading to its downfall
See the cripples starve in blood
The suffering and desperation of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society
See the truth - there is no god!
A realization that there is no divine power to save us from the horrors of this world

@@sialig9297 do you mean the same NATURE that allowed Jesus’ disciples, ranging from those who walked with Jesus to martyrs today, to be killed at the hands of evil men? I would reconsider your position, not on the basis of a theological “pissing” match as you called it, but rather of God’s nature of allowing His saints to be killed for their testimony. Perhaps Revelation was wrong when it said that we will overcome the enemy by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony, not loving our lives unto death.
“You will be hated by everyone because of my name, but the one who endures to the end will be saved.”
Mark 13:13 CSB
Why would we be exhorted to endure until the end? What does the word end mean? Is it the first “end” or second “end” or third….?
God’s nature is abundantly clear in the Scriptures. He loves us dearly, to the point of sacrificing Himself for us. But we shouldn’t expect that God would never ask us to endure to the point of death. He asked Abraham to sacrifice His own son, and by faith Abraham accepted God’s will. He was ready to go through with it. My questions is simply this: us saints, will we be ready to go through the tribulation if God so wills it? Or will we fall away because of our unpreparedness to face it?
The purpose of tribulation is sanctification, for all saints. “The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, and if children, also heirs — heirs of God and coheirs with Christ — if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed to us.”
Romans 8:16-18 CSB
For we have been grafted into one plant (Romans is clear about this). Replacement theology, which suggests that tribulation is for the Jews only, cannot continue subverting the Word of God. We are all members of one body: saints. There is no Jewish saints, pre-tribulation saints, tribulation saints, etc. Show me where this is in the Bible.

Please pray that I'll stop doubting all that God has said about forgiving me. Plz 🙏
@zackmichel382
You think that the manchild in revelation 12 has the spirit of Elijah who is also the overcomer?
You think that someone is gonna receive the spirit that Elijah has on this earth in the end times?
Could the Elijah be the rider on the white horse?
@moddofssi
@charlotte-323 just gotta give it to him. Think of it as letting him help you carry something that is really heavy and just let it go !
Hope this helps just remember
He's got this for you !

Troy,I am so grateful that God led me to your videos. I would like to share a vision I had a few weeks ago. It was so beautiful. In my vision I saw a bright white lamb above the clouds. It was without blemishes, so perfect and breath taking. This lamb looked so soft and it was looking directly at me. Behind the lamb saw what I thought was God. I did not see the face, only the form of man with glowing beams of light,radiating from Him. Sooo peaceful . I am sure it was a sign not to distress because the Lamb of God is with us and He will return very soon. Still praying for clarification.
@nithqueen
the lamb isn't returning, the lion is
