1. Wizard is a German Power Metal band, formed in 1989 by the drummer Sören van Heek. The band was often called "Germany's answer to Manowar". On some albums the lyrics are about battles, metal, war and steel. The exception were the albums Odin, which is a concept album about Norse mythology, Goochan which is a fantasy story about a witch (written by Volker Leson and author William B. Nuke), Thor which is also about north mythology and ... of wariwulfs and bluotvarwes which is about vampires and werewolfs (written by Wizard and Andre Wiesler, German author).
Wizard played at Wacken Open Air 2002, Bang Your Head!!! 2002, Keep It True 2004, Dokk'em Open Air 2006, Magic Circle Festival 2009 and is in the 2012 line-up of Hammerfest IV. In 2003 longtime guitarist Michael Maass quit the band because of health problems. In 2006 the band left the label Limb Music after four albums and joined the somewhat bigger label Massacre Records with a new album in mind to be released in January 27, 2007, titled Goochan. On may 18th, 2007, Michael Maass returned to the band after a three-year break. The band's 2009 album Thor received a positive review from The Pit reviewer Frank Heise, who praised "The Visitor" as the best track on it.
The band's 2011 album ...Of Wariwulfs and Bluotvarwes received a positive review from SLUG Magazine reviewer Dylan Chadwick noting that "well trodden, and admittedly formulaic, it's a resoundingly competent platter of steel-willed, fist pounding heavy metal that'll satisfy the most voracious headbanger's hunger."
Dark Wings
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The pain to live forever in the night
The bite will give you life, a life of a black demon
A demon straight from hell, his hell will be your home
White fangs, red eyes, dark wings, vampires
On dark wings they fly through the black night
On dark wings they fly through the night
Vampires from hell, looking for a bite
On dark wings they fly through the night
Vampires from hell, frightened by the light
You crave the taste of blood, blood is now your life
Darkness is what you're giving to your virgin victims
Life is just a dream as is the road to your death
But your death is not eternal so forever you will dream
White fangs, red eyes, dark wings, vampires
On dark wings they fly through the black night
The lyrics of Wizard's Dark Wings narrate the story of the demonic underworld and its supernatural creatures. The song's eerie introduction sets the mood for a grim tale of destiny and eternal night. The singer describes the wings of destiny, preaching pain, as an ominous forewarning of the life of a black demon. The only way to obtain that life is to accept a bite from a demon who has emerged straight out of the depths of hell. Once the transformation takes place, your home becomes the demon's hell, and you become a slave to a new existence.
The singer continues to describe the physical characteristics of these demonic creatures, with their white fangs and red eyes. These vampires of the underworld fly through the blackness of the night with their dark wings. They are constantly in search of their next victims, who they drain of blood, giving them darkness and taking their lives. The singer makes it clear that this existence is not eternal, however. Even though you have achieved this new, dark life, your death is not final. Instead, you will forever be in a dream like state.
In conclusion, Wizard's Dark Wings is a paranormal fantasy song that describes the underworld of demons and vampires. The lyrics talk about the transformation of human life into demonic life and their terrifying existence. The song carries a deep and eerie tone that effectively brings out the mood of the song.
Line by Line Meaning
Hear the wings of destiny preaching pain
Feel the fateful wings revealing the agony to come
The pain to live forever in the night
The ache of immortality, doomed to never see daylight
The bite will give you life, a life of a black demon
The act of being bitten grants a life as a dark creature
A demon straight from hell, his hell will be your home
The demonic entity brings their own infernal world to dwell in
White fangs, red eyes, dark wings, vampires
Vampiric beings with distinctive features of pale teeth, crimson gaze, and shadowy wings
On dark wings they fly through the black night
Their wings carry them through the darkness, where they hunt
Vampires from hell, looking for a bite
These demons of the night search for victims to feed upon
Vampires from hell, frightened by the light
Their fear of light drives these hellish vampires to seek refuge in the shadows
You crave the taste of blood, blood is now your life
A thirst for blood becomes an immortal's driving force
Darkness is what you're giving to your virgin victims
In taking the life essence of innocent prey, they bring darkness to their souls
Life is just a dream as is the road to your death
An undead's immortality and ultimate demise are both illusory
But your death is not eternal so forever you will dream
Though death may come, it is only temporary, and they will continue to dream
