about

This is the last single from Nightborn's upcoming album. This song has an energetic and groovy intro in the style of Pantera, then moves into a ballady section with melodic solos. The chorus parts are in the vein of Dark Tranquillity. In the final part the song moves into thrash metal realm. The aim was to visit a variety of feelings using different groove and melodies. The lyrics deal with the topic of death - the inevitable end.

lyrics

A SOLEMN WORLD

When the hour claims its turn
And our time here's unlearned
On farewell's shores we pale
Drinking pearl drops of moon

There, waits
A darkness in blue
We bathe in its soul
We breathe its gloom
Who will
The tempest choose
Sealed in grief
This beckoning tomb

When the dawn craves for dusk
Realms of night dress in shrouds
Clock's scythe slays tomorrows
The reaper weds saddenings blind

Departures draw somber trails
How we miss the razor's strain
A spell that breaks and falters
Languishing starless skies

There, waits
The darkest blue
We bathe in its soul
We breathe its gloom
Who will
The tempest choose
Sealed in grief
This solemn world

Detachment, taking leave
Landscapes fade behind
Where midnights taste seclusions
Forever with or without us

We were bounded by night
As we lived, death was not
In its wake the door is ajar
We beckoned the end
No longer we are
