Juraj Grezdo joins the band after splitting up with Nailed Nazarene. The name Bastard is changed to Fatal Infection and by the end of 1994 the demo Behind the Doors of Sorrow is recorded.
The old name doesn't fit the new material, so it's changed into Thalarion meaning the ancient city of mad poets and flying demons (see Lovecraft's story A White Ship). In March 1996 the first album Towards the Obscure Slumberland is released through Hallelujjah Prod..
The MCD Dominium Unfold (1996) for the US label Wild Rags Records has never been released.
Nevertheless in December 1998 the second album is released through Mighty Music. The Tales Of The Woods... Thus Was Written album is well received by the world metal scene.
Their third album Four Elements Mysterium is marked with 1998 Nela Horvathova's vocals. Nela has also done backing vocals on Tales Of The Woods... Thus was Written.
In November 2002 Mighty Music releases the fourth Thalarion album Tunes of Despondency. After the more gothic Four Elements Mysterium the band changes to a faster and more agressive music going closer to their debut album Towards the Obscure Slumberland.
In 2004 the fifth album Hellium is released. Now there are no keyboards or female vocals (Nela Horvathova is now in Disanchely). The new member Michal (guitar) joins the band and takes a great part in writing material.

Fly Away
Thalarion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will never be your another sacrifice
That could be victimized for this eventide
Because it would injure your affected pride
Fly, fly... fly like a nightingale
Fly, fly... fly through the gale
Fly, fly... fly as far as you dare
I am looking through the glass
Seeing the time to pass
I am feeling the strongest gust
Diving my legs into dust
Fly, fly... fly like a nightingale
Fly, fly... fly through the gale
Fly, fly... fly as far as you dare
Fly, fly... fly and beware
Fly away, fly away from me
Try not to discover my secrecy
Fly away, fly away from me
You are left to my tender mercy
Fly, fly... fly like a nightingale
Fly, fly... fly through the gale
Fly, fly... fly as far as you dare
Fly, fly... fly and beware
The lyrics to Thalarion's song "Fly Away" appear to be about a failed relationship in which one person with "fiery eyes" and a "heart of ice" has hurt the other person's pride with their actions. The singer is warning this person that they will not be a sacrifice or victim for them, and suggests that they fly away and venture out as far as they dare, but to beware.
The chorus reinforces this idea of flying away, using the image of a nightingale flying through the gale, suggesting that the person should leave and not look back. The repetition of the phrase "fly, fly" emphasizes the idea of freedom and escape, but also adds a sense of urgency as if the singer is encouraging this person to leave as soon as possible. The use of the word "beware" gives a sense of caution, perhaps hinting that there may be consequences for staying in this relationship.
The final lines of the song reinforce the idea of the person leaving and not discovering any secrets that the singer may have, indicating that the relationship has ended badly and one person wishes to move on.

Your fiery eyes, but heart of ice
Despite your intense gaze, your heart is completely cold and indifferent
I will never be your another sacrifice
I will not allow myself to be a victim of your selfish desires again
That could be victimized for this eventide
You cannot use me to fulfill your needs on this particular evening
Because it would injure your affected pride
Your ego is too fragile to handle being rejected, hence why you cannot have me
Fly, fly... fly like a nightingale
Take off and soar gracefully like a nightingale
Fly, fly... fly through the gale
Navigate through the strong winds with confidence and strength
Fly, fly... fly as far as you dare
Explore the world and take risks without holding back
Fly, fly... fly and beware
Be cautious and aware of the dangers that may come with flying too far
I am looking through the glass
I am watching from a distance
Seeing the time to pass
Recognizing that time is moving forward
I am feeling the strongest gust
I am experiencing a strong wave of emotion
Diving my legs into dust
Feeling shattered and broken from within
Fly away, fly away from me
Take off and escape from my presence
Try not to discover my secrecy
Do not attempt to uncover the secrets I am hiding
You are left to my tender mercy
I have complete control and power over you
