Sad Fog Over Sinister Runes
Vomitory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lyrics: R. Olson
In dream of darkest grief
I see the thoughts stand as trees
As crimson scars are breaking through
The frozen skies where I have my moon
Where no one can hear the words I talk
A wind of cleansing cold caressed the mournful sight
That was my last
Glowing before my distant eyes a livid moonlight seems so wise
Haunting every thought that passed in beckons me
To seek the vast
Sad fog over sinister runes
All the dim is clear for me but still I can not touch what I see
The glade I have reached is calm and cold
All the hidden should be told
But where is relief now when I am here
When I am come through all these years
Grey veils lies before my hands where the runes of my fate stands
Stalking through the ended nights
My funeral fire shines to the skies
I burn into ashes to meet my moon
Through sad fog over sinister runes
The flames caressed me into mist, extinguished my thoughts to resist
An abyss opened under me, sorrows gave me to my dreams
Now when all paths back are lost, I can feel the falling frost
Forever to be shunned inside remembranch which is not mine
When thoughts are cold and all horizons ends to glow
My shadows melts into a silent lake
Where frozen streams shall flow
All I see is light above that vanishes through the dim
Now I close my eyes into the past
To drown through the dark and grim
The lyrics to Vomitory's song "Sad Fog Over Sinister Runes" are dark and atmospheric, describing a dream of deepest grief where thoughts stand as trees and crimson scars break through the frozen skies. The singer is walking through the dark where no one can hear the words they talk, and a wind of cleansing cold is caressing their mournful sight. The singer sees a livid moonlight glowing before their eyes, haunting every thought that passed and beckoning them to seek the vast. Sad fog covers sinister runes, and although all the dim is clear to the singer, they cannot touch what they see.
The glade that the singer has reached is calm and cold, but all the hidden should be told. Grey veils lie before their hands where the runes of their fate stand. Stalking through the ended nights, the singer's funeral fire shines to the skies. They burn into ashes to meet their moon through sad fog over sinister runes. The flames caress them into mist, extinguishing their thoughts to resist. An abyss opens under the singer, and sorrows give them to their dreams. Now that all paths back are lost, the singer can feel the falling frost, forever to be shunned inside remembrance which is not theirs. When thoughts are cold and all horizons end to glow, the singer's shadows melt into a silent lake where frozen streams shall flow. All they see is light above that vanishes through the dim, and they close their eyes into the past to drown through the dark and grim.

In dream of darkest grief
When I am tormented by the weight of sorrow in my dream
I see the thoughts stand as trees
My thoughts take the form of trees in my dream
As crimson scars are breaking through
My emotional scars are bleeding and exposed
The frozen skies where I have my moon
The dark and cold skies above me, where I find comfort in the distant moon
Through the dark I try to walk
I am struggling to find my way forward in the darkness
Where no one can hear the words I talk
I am alone with my thoughts and no one can hear my inner dialogue
A wind of cleansing cold caressed the mournful sight
The cold wind is a calming presence among my sadness
That was my last
This was my final moment of peace
Glowing before my distant eyes a livid moonlight seems so wise
The moonlight in the distance is comforting and feels wise to me
Haunting every thought that passed in beckons me
I am drawn towards the haunting thoughts that are passing through my mind
To seek the vast
I am searching for something greater than myself or my pain
Sad fog over sinister runes
A bleak fog hangs over dark markings or symbols
All the dim is clear for me but still I can not touch what I see
I can see everything clearly, but I cannot physically interact with anything
The glade I have reached is calm and cold
I have arrived at a quiet and chilly clearing
All the hidden should be told
I feel that everything that has been hidden within me should be revealed
But where is relief now when I am here
I cannot find relief or comfort even in this peaceful glade
When I am come through all these years
After all this time and pain I have endured
Grey veils lies before my hands where the runes of my fate stands
I am facing a mysterious and uncertain future, represented by the runes before me
Stalking through the ended nights
I am moving through the darkness of my past
My funeral fire shines to the skies
The flames of my past burn brightly in the sky
I burn into ashes to meet my moon
The flame envelops me, and I am consumed, as I reach towards the distant moon
Through sad fog over sinister runes
Even as I am consumed by the flames, the fog and the runes continue to haunt me
The flames caressed me into mist, extinguished my thoughts to resist
As I am consumed, the flames soothe me, and I am freed from any resistance or struggle
An abyss opened under me, sorrows gave me to my dreams
The flames slowly let me go, and I fall into a deep abyss, where my sorrows continue in my dreams
Now when all paths back are lost, I can feel the falling frost
I am completely lost, and the cold of the falling frost is all that I can feel
Forever to be shunned inside remembranch which is not mine
I am doomed to be ostracized, trapped in memories that do not belong to me
When thoughts are cold and all horizons ends to glow
When my thoughts are bleak and nothing seems to have a spark of joy or light anymore
My shadows melts into a silent lake
I become one with the surroundings, my shadow disappearing into the peaceful lake
Where frozen streams shall flow
The streams around me are frozen, and no signs of life can be found
All I see is light above that vanishes through the dim
I see a light, but it quickly fades away into the darkness around me
Now I close my eyes into the past
I try to shut out the present and escape to the past
To drown through the dark and grim
I seek solace in the darkness that surrounds me
