Black River
Unsilent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This river moving me away
And i can't find something that I can snatch

I know it's not a time to pay
I know that is a chance to fly
Please take me far away
Somewhere were I can lose my pain
Until I lost my mind

We hold so many things so long
Dead weights draw us to our graves

I know it's not a time to fall
I know that is a chance for brave
Please take me far away
Somewhere were I can lose my pain
Somewhere were it will stop

Listen to the time
With every move of tiny hand
A little part of life turns into the sand

Black water now you are my judge
I want to hear my doom today

I know I lose my chance to fly
I know I take my chance for pain
I know it's not my grave




It's time to pay and i will pay
The debts until I can

Overall Meaning

The song Black River by Unsilent tells the story of someone who is trying to escape from their pain and struggles. The river, which is said to be black, is moving them away from their current situation, but they can't seem to find anything to hold onto. Despite knowing that it's not yet time to pay, it seems like they are willing to pay the price just to be free from their burdens. They are looking for a place where they can lose their pain and their mind.


The lyrics suggest that we hold onto things for too long, and that these things become a dead weight that draws us to our graves. This dead weight seems to be the source of their pain and struggle. They know that this is not the time to fall, but rather, it's time to be brave and take the chance to fly. The river represents a chance for them to start over and have a clean slate.


The song emphasizes the importance of time and how it can slip away right before our eyes. The lyrics urge the listener to pay attention to the tiny hands of time that can turn a little part of life into sand. Eventually, the singer realizes that the black river is their judge and is willing to pay their debts until they can be free from their pain and struggles.

Unsilent Storms in the North Abyss




Delight of the moon is burning inside
Spiritless I lay on cryptic stones
Mesmerising snow wait silent above me
And my yearn for frost grow strongly
I Am demon
A demon with a shadowed face
Entering to my wintercoffin
Awaiting to see the dawnless realms
Staring into a ground of glass
A perfect view I could failed
Into my eyes
The unsilent storms in the north abyss
