Night
The Mastery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're trapped inside the cauldron
And they may tear us apart
But that raging river means certain death
We will find a way
To get to the rescuing bay
All we need is faith that the morning sun returns
So we can wake up from this dream
You can take our lives
But the spirits remain
One by one we are falling
Who's down is lost, squashed by the boots of the law
Like lambs to the slaughter, like sheep vs. wolves
No breath for screaming out loud
We will find a way
To get to the rescuing bay
All we need is faith that the morning sun returns
So we can wake up from this dream
All we need is here right within our daring hearts
You can take our lives
But the spirits remain
"As the night is ending
And the rivers turn red
We can stop pretending
And give in to the dread
Many before us died trying
Maybe their death was in vain
That is what's most terrifying
No single witness remains
Deep inside I know it's not the end
Deep inside I feel it coming
Whatever impends
Destiny is not yours to define
So better hide
Now look at all of our brothers
And all the sisters we lost
I will promise you vengeance
It doesn't matter the cost
Deep inside I know it's not the end
Deep inside I feel it coming,
Whatever impends
Destiny is not yours to define
So better hide
We're turning the tide"
We will find a way
To get to the rescuing bay
All we need is faith that the morning sun returns
So we can wake up from this dream
All we need is here right within our daring hearts
You can take our lives
But the spirits remain
The Mastery's "Night" is a song about facing danger and opposition while holding onto hope and perseverance. The opening lines "And our weapons are drawn, We're trapped inside the cauldron" set the tone for the song's theme of being surrounded by adversaries. The line "But that raging river means certain death" creates an image of how desperate the situation is. However, the lyrics also alternate between a fatalistic tone and an optimistic one. The chorus's repetition of "All we need is faith that the morning sun returns" and the statement "All we need is here right within our daring hearts" show that hope is not lost. The second verse describes the inevitable deaths that are occurring but emphasizes that their spirits remain. Though individuals are lost, the collective spirit is not. The song is a call to persevere amidst danger and rely on one's courage and faith to overcome it.
One intriguing aspect of the song is its use of imagery to create a world of oppositions. The line "Like lambs to the slaughter, like sheep vs. wolves" creates a clear image of a dangerous scenario where individuals are at risk of being preyed upon. The song's use of light and dark imagery is also captivating, for example, "All we need is faith that the morning sun returns" vs. "As the night is ending And the rivers turn red." The song hints at a grander narrative, with lyrics like "Many before us died trying/Maybe their death was in vain/That is what's most terrifying/No single witness remains," suggesting that a significant conflict or struggle is happening.
Another intriguing aspect of the song is its composition. The song's pacing evolves from a slow, meditative intro to an emotive chorus and builds in intensity throughout the track. The song's use of a backing choir towards the end adds to its grandiosity, emphasizing that the story is not just about an individual, but a group of people banding together to face adversity.

Who's down is lost, squashed by the boots of the law
Those who fall won't get justice
Like lambs to the slaughter, like sheep vs. wolves
We are vulnerable prey
No breath for screaming out loud
We are in too much danger to make noise
As the night is ending
This terrible situation is coming to an end
And the rivers turn red
There has been bloodshed
We can stop pretending
We can't ignore the reality of the situation anymore
And give in to the dread
We must recognize the fear
Many before us died trying
Others have failed to fight this fight
Maybe their death was in vain
Perhaps their sacrifice was meaningless
That is what's most terrifying
That idea is unsettling
No single witness remains
No one is alive to tell their story
Deep inside I know it's not the end
I believe there is hope
Deep inside I feel it coming
I sense a change on the horizon
Whatever impends
Whatever happens next
Destiny is not yours to define
We don't control the future
So better hide
We need to take cover
Now look at all of our brothers
We must acknowledge the losses we have suffered
And all the sisters we lost
We mourn the deaths of our comrades
I will promise you vengeance
I vow to seek revenge
It doesn't matter the cost
I am willing to pay any price
We're turning the tide
We are shifting the balance of power in our favor
