Biography:
Initially, the band played straightforward black metal under the name Treblinka. After having recorded the album Sumerian Cry in 1989, vocalist/guitarist Johan Edlund and bassist Jörgen Thullberg parted ways with the other two founding members, and subsequently changed the name to Tiamat. The Sumerian Cry album, as recorded by Treblinka, was released as Tiamat's debut album in June 1990.
After the debut, Edlund's leadership would modify the band's style with influences ranging from Mercyful Fate, Candlemass, Pink Floyd and King Crimson, with Sumerian lyrical themes. German guitarist Waldemar Sorychta would produce and contribute instrumentation to many of the band's albums, as well as those by Tiamat's own tour and labelmates, including Moonspell, Rotting Christ, Lacuna Coil and Samael.
1994's critically acclaimed Wildhoney mixed raw vocals, slow guitar riffs and synthesizer sounds which sounded different from other extreme metal bands active at that time. An almost continuous forty-minute piece of music, Wildhoney was considered to be a landmark release within the progressive/doom metal genres and would lead to the band's appearances at the Dynamo and Wacken Open Air metal festivals in 1995. The group would play a second gig at Dynamo two years later.
Upon the release of A Deeper Kind of Slumber (1997), Edlund relocated from Sweden to Germany and declared himself the only permanent member of the band; all albums that would follow would cement the band into a more gothic rock sound, quite different from the extreme music they did in the years before, with recent albums showing a The Sisters of Mercy influence.
The band signed to Nuclear Blast Records in June 2007. Tiamat released their new album Amanethes April 18, 2008.

Do You Dream Of Me?
Tiamat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am waiting by your side
Come down, carefully
I am waiting by your side
I'll grab you when you fall
Down to the waking hours
Silent sweeps as golden corn
How I wish that I could
Break into your dreams
Do I have the force I need
To break into your dreams
I hold you in my arms
Dimmed by scarlet morning red
I whisper in you ear
Do you dream of me
The lyrics of Tiamat's song, "Do You Dream Of Me?" speaks of yearning and longing for someone who does not seem to reciprocate the same feelings. The singer seems to be waiting for the person to come down, and even though they are careful, the singer will be there to catch them in case they fall. They wish they could break into the person's dreams since they seem to be inaccessible even in the person's subconscious. Lastly, the singer holds the person and gently whispers the question if the person would dream of them.
The lyrics evoke a sense of helplessness and sadness as the singer yearns for someone who seems unattainable. The repetitive lines of "Come down, slowly" and "I am waiting by your side" show the singer's willingness to wait for the person they desire, no matter how futile it may seem. The lines of "How I wish that I could break into your dreams" indicate an almost desperate need to be with someone, even if it's just in their dreams. The song's mood is melancholic, the lyrics conveying unrequited feelings in a mournful tone.
Line by Line Meaning
Come down, slowly
Please come here gradually and in a relaxed manner
I am waiting by your side
I'm eager to be with you right now
Come down, carefully
Please come here cautiously and with attention
I am waiting by your side
I'll be here to welcome you with open arms
I'll grab you when you fall
I'll catch you if you stumble and fall
Down to the waking hours
Back to reality and consciousness
Silent sweeps as golden corn
The peaceful, soundless passing of time
Down to the waking hours
Leaving the world of dreams behind
How I wish that I could
I yearn to do something I cannot
Break into your dreams
Enter your subconscious thoughts without permission
Do I have the force I need
Am I strong enough to accomplish my goal
To break into your dreams
To enter an unreal world that belongs to you only
I hold you in my arms
You're in my embrace, safe and secure
Dimmed by scarlet morning red
The light is muted by the color of sunrise
I whisper in your ear
I speak softly to you, expressing my desire
Do you dream of me
Am I present in your dream world? Do you think of me?

Düşlüyor Musun Beni ?
Gel, yavaşça
Buralarda bekliyorum seni
Gel dikkatlice
Buralarda bekliyorum seni
Düştüğün zaman elinden tutacağım
Uyanık zamanların altında
Sessizlik, altın bir mısırı soyar gibi
Uyanık zamanların altında
Yapabilmeyi o kadar çok dilerdim ki
Düşlerine sinsice girebilmeyi
Bunu yapabilecek güce sahipmiyim ben
Düşlerine sinsice girebilmek !
Seni kollarımda sıkıca sarıyorum
Bu loşluk kızıl sabahın kızıllığından
Ve kulağına fısıldıyorum senin
Düşlüyor musun beni ?

Assim passa a glória do mundo
A vida é breve e prenhe de dores. É uma curta caminhada que não acaba
bem.
Neste breve momento no tempo que é a vida,encontramos algumas poucas
certezas e um mar de ilusões e
amargas decepções. Ninguém sai impune da vida,ela marca,e marca
profundamente.
Não há dor maior que uma vida sem propósito,negar este fato é trabalho
vão,constatado no silêncio de um punhado
de noites que avançam pelos anos até o eclipse final e para além da
infinita noite do universo. E é desta dor que muitos
fogem,alucinados,sepultando o que realmente são e para onde vão
quando a última cortina descer e encerrar os atos neste mundo.
Justifica-se tudo,até mesmo a própria ignorância.
Todos são gênios,mesmo no pequeno e frágil mundo que construímos,tristes
e cinzentos.
Uma uma vida de escravidão e e ódio.

Break into your dreams
Do I have the force I need
To break into your dreams
I hold you in my arms
Dimmed by scarlet morning red
I whisper in your ear
"Do you dream of me?"

plagiarism..."Cossack rode beyond Danube" - old Ukrainian folk song.
Cossack was going over Dunabe saing - Girl, good bye
You, my good horse, carry me gaily!
Stay, stay, Cossack , your girl is crying
Who will care of her - did you though about it?
It would be better, would be beter not to go
It would be better, would be beter not to love
It would be better, would be beter not to know
That now, that now to forget
She went out bending her arms and started to cry heavly -
How can you leave me - did you think about it?
Do not wring your hands, do not torment your eyes
Wait for me from war, I'll come with fame
It would be better, would be beter not to go
It would be better, would be beter not to love
It would be better, would be beter not to know
That now, that now to forget
I don't want anything only you
My dear, I wish you be healty, nothing more
Cossack sat at the horese whistling - Be healty
I will come in 3 days If I won't die https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikhav_Kozak_za_Dunaj

@dimmu_son1805
My grandpa used to love this song, every time when i went in vacations to him and my grandma by car, we would listen to this, every time i listen to this song i think about him, he died 4 years ago, i miss him..
@zibeddy
I’ve listened to many genres and thousands of songs over the years. This is one of the best I’ve heard and should have millions of views. It’s truly unique, there’s nothing like it.
@leonardovillegas1119
I know, right? The genre mix they put out in this album is something that's odd at first sight, but it works so majestically here.
@Hateious
Took me a while to find this again but im here. There is a certain something that Tiamat do to me, There music and lyrics make me feel comfortable I could never explain it. True genius on our emotions, love this band.
@SASTORM
My mum is 85yo and likes this song a lot, the album and previous one Clouds are masterpieces

Ein unfassbares Meisterwerk, das auch nach mehr als einem Vierteljahrhundert nichts von seinem Zauber verloren hat. So simpel, so emotional, so verdammt gut!! Ich liebe diesen Song seit dem Tag seiner Veröffentlichung (na gut, zugegeben - ich kaufte das Album erst eine Woche später) und werde es wohl bis zu meinem Tode lieben!!
@yaraht3544
This song everytime I hear, I feel am in a dream or another world ... one of my fav ever
