Insomnium - Drawn To Black Lyrics






Wreathed in silence, laid down in shades
Swathed in regrets, deluded astray
Forgotten in half-light, drawn in despair
Soothed in slumber so dreadful and fair

Rending and searing and twisting my dreams
Alone in the gloom with the nightmares unseen

The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one:
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done

Worthless the pledges, all vows but lies
Fateful her kisses, where a serpent hides
First beckoned to step from the twilight to glare
Then left in the dark for the demons to share

Only the stars see, only the moon hears...

And quietly the water-lilies sigh
Like the last breath of a weary soul
And the weed sway in the dreary waters
Like a girl's dark hair they wave about

And the black stones under my bare feet
Cold and smooth like her milk-white palm
And the silence which falls upon this shore
Resounds now louder than oncoming storm

For all is gone

  1. F.... M....

    Baked AF and crying for a lyrics for the first time in my life

    Oh my...
    these hard emotional waves during the song
    Really don't know any bad or disappointing song from these guys

  4. l.... ....

    How the fuck is no one talking about the lyrics?

  5. C.... ....

    To me the lyrics sounds like a husband was cheated on/ betrayed by his wife and he took her to a lake in the middle of nowhere and killed her in his anguish

  6. p.... ....

    epic guitar... 2:18 oh fuck yeah!

  26. D.... N....

    4:9 my favorite part

  27. J.... ....

    Best album, hands down

  28. E.... B....

    I've listened to insomnium since 2008 and still do. I can say that insomnium's first four albums were something unrepeatable. Since "one for sorrow" they've changed their style becoming more mainstream and in my opinion losing the spirituallity in their still beautiful songs. Listening to SInce it all came down or In the groves of death and then their new stuff you can feel something different...still beautiful, but not divine like first works: in my opinion, until "across the dark" they were gods of melodic death, since then great musicians, but not gods....

    E.... B....

    I've listened to Insomnium since 2006 and I honestly know EXACTLY what You're getting at, I personally couldn't word it better myself. Respect! \m/
    In the Groves of Death and In The Halls of Awaiting are absolutely astounding works and are both solid and true contributions to the Melodic Death Metal genre. I personally consider Insomnium to be "Atmospheric Melodic Death Metal, as their music brings such a presence to the table that many other bands lack or fail to do.

    E.... B....

    All its true, but i love old style and new. In my opinion lyrics is incredible still.

    E.... B....

    Yeah happened to me .I remember when they only have like 30K fans on fb but everyone quickly acknowledged them for the their talented work , the same thing is happening to be'lakor .

  29. L.... t....

    These guys are killer live. Saw them in Cleveland. Thanks for posting this.

    If you get a chance, check out '700 MILES' and 'FREYJA' by SONIQ ARMADA....\m/ METAL HAILS \m/

    A.... G....

    +Anthony Genoves How was it?

    A.... G....

    +Bill The Snake Charmer they're great live. although Niilo had a family emergency so someone else had to fill in for him. their set list was a bit short as well but still great.

    A.... G....

    +Anthony Genoves have you heard weighed down with sorrow? Lose to night? Through the shadows? Down with the sun?

    A.... G....

    +Aurumk1 of course. I'm a huge fan of this band.

    A.... G....

    This one and 'Lay of the Autumn' always get me.

  43. K.... M....

    I LOVE HOW LONG THEIR SONGS ARE.  I hate when I'm getting into a song and it ends >.< 

    K.... M....

    @Kathryn McClellan They're masters of making songs long enough to satisfy, but also making you want more. I love this band.

    K.... M....

    Get into Dream Theater. They don't waste any space in their 20+ minute epics.

  44. M.... S....

    Kalmah - to the gallows CHECK IT OUT

  49. J.... ....

    Worthless the pledges, all vows but lies
    Fateful her kisses, where a serpent hides
    First beckoned to step from the twilight to glare
    Then left in the dark for the demons to share

  50. W.... A....

    Greaaaat I LIKE IT Man...

  51. P.... C....

    Great lyrics.

  52. D.... B....

    strongly suggest you check out Orpheus (Omega) as they've changed their name too.."bleed the way" album is insane!

  53. M.... ....

    why not on the radio? oh wait i'm in idaho...

    M.... ....

    Oh wait this is not msinstream

  54. W.... ....

    You know Human error?? Their album memories of afterlife is so good ;)

  55. J.... M....

    Not bad.

  56. l.... ....

    I been listening to melodeth for 4 years and all I know off the top of my head are Be'Lakor and Orpheus. /watch?v=JaDx2FNGfxw

  57. M.... ....

    No, I can not, but in all fairness, I'm not that deep into the melodeath scene. I can't name too many bands.

  58. N.... ....

    i agree, one of the best melodeath bands ou there, but they're just one band. can you name another melodeath band from australia?

    N.... ....

    Be'lakor

    N.... ....

    Be'lakor and Ne Obliviscaris are majestic

  59. M.... ....

    "Only" Be'lakor? They're amazing, imo.

  60. N.... ....

    i know them, i own their Album Portal of i. but i hardly consider them melodeath.

  61. W.... ....

    Ne Obliviscaris. Meet your new favorite band.

  62. w.... ....

    really? I didn't know that. Now that's fucking neat

  63. K.... ....

    Makes sense seeing as how the whole gothenburg scene started in Sweden.

  64. N.... ....

    australia only has got be'lakor as much as i know.

  65. h.... ....

    The chorus is British poet Francis Bourdillon's "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes" and the heavy, melodic sound that Insomnium gives it is so god damned perfect for the context

  66. L.... ....

    They are from Skyrim.

  67. 1.... 8....

    can i hit the like button twice? :/

  68. Z.... B....

    song leads to brighter (or darker) days.

  69. D.... K....

    I like the riff during the chorus more, it's freaking AMAZING!

  70. B.... ....

    Don't forget australia

  71. S.... ....

    Damn that riff is catchy at the beginning, I already had it stuck in my head after 15 seconds lol

  72. B.... B....

    dem whispers...

  73. S.... ....

    This and Mortal Share are what I loop when I play the CD years back. It's time to revisit memory lane.

  74. s.... ....

    Such darn good *melodic* death metal bands mostly come from Nordic countries :)

  75. t.... v....

    yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

  76. M.... ....

    Finland, bro.

  77. S.... S....

    I love Man made God by In Flames. I also like some instrumental stoner metal/rock songs by bands like The Machine, Elder, The Cosmic Dead...

  78. P.... ....

    Finland

    P.... ....

    torille

  79. P.... ....

    I think Nein meant Escape The Fate, not Insomnium.

  80. S.... L....

    i miss the old Insomnium :(

  81. L.... L....

    first broken love song , thanks a lot !

  82. I.... c....

    Insomnium, from which country? Nordic?

  83. M.... ....

    I'm glade that I found this awesomeness!

  84. h.... ....

    I like them, Orion is one of my favourites. I havent heared the instrumental version of vortex. I like most of the instrumental songs by In Flames. I have in flames - dialogue with the starts as my mobile phone signal :p

  85. M.... K....

    Orion- Metallica. vortex (Instrumental version)- Megadeth.
    And my all time favorite: Call of Ktulu by Metallica

  86. h.... ....

    The music is nice but the vocals would need to be a tiny bit cleaner for me to keep me interested in the band for real, I still listen to this now and then.

    I prefer bands that can shut up sometimes and play a some good intrumental music too. If you can play an intrument well you don't need vocals to make good music.

    Tell me your fav instrumental metal songs :)

  87. J.... A....

    Actually emo is not a gerne , emo stands for emotional any band can be emotional , a death metal band or even a pop band. There is nothing wrong with "Deep/Emotional music ". As far for the gerne Insomnium is a Melodic death metal band.

  88. L.... S....

    Selena Gomez + Soulja Boy = Insomnium!!!
    Let me explain why. Selena Gomez has great talent and beautifully powerful singing voice.
    Soulja Boy is in overall good rapper. Has great rappin flow, he would be the second vocalist and do the the growling parts.
    This band could be perfect if they would:
    1. Electronic and dubstep drops
    2. More rapping
    3. Deathcore and hardcore breakdowns and elements
    4. More "emo" kinda lyrics, like My chemical romance have.

    L.... S....

    Le Spy lol 3 years later and this troll is still sitting hungry 😂

    L.... S....

    Le Spy yeahhhh bro I know this is old, but just noooooo. don't put your electronic or dubstep music in my melodeath. Especially not rap. That stuff has absolutely no appeal to me in the slightest

  89. M.... K....

    Insomnium is by far my favorite melodic death metal band.
    Yes, i know the genre may be wrong, but get the fuck over it.

  90. O.... ....

    never once did i state insomnium was emo, if you read the rest of that rage war you will find i was calling escape the fate a shitty emo band regardless of what they play now

  91. T.... ....

    Oh god, not again. Just get over it and enjoy fucking Imnsomnium!

  92. e.... ....

    escape the fate is emo, and it's one of the shittiest bands around.

  93. T.... ....

    you really show your intellect here, we are all stunned i can asure you

  94. O.... ....

    Uh..... that was me? and that was stating escape the fate started out (and still is) and emo band. Never once did i state insomnium was emo. If you did a little research into the comment (which you obviously didnt) you will find the conversation of a mexican trying to claim escape the fate is the same genre as insomnium

  95. B.... v....

    you are obviously dumb aswell, that guy was stating insomnium started emo as it turns out insomnium did not start the emo sub-culture now get out of my face you failure.

  96. O.... ....

    You are obviously fucking retarded.. this started out as a mexican trying to claim the band "escape the fate" wasnt emo, escape the fate IS emo, you and are a fucking tool for not even reading any of the comments
