Black Sleep
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Dark Tale of 'Black Sleep'
Lyrics
No sun in the valley of the fallen
No sunlight is present in the valley where those who have fallen reside.
Black Death comes for one and all
Death, symbolized as the Black Death, is inevitable for everyone.
Pray hard to the Lord of illusions
Urgently pray to the Lord of illusions, possibly referencing a false sense of hope or belief.
All die, all are doomed to fall
All individuals perish and are destined to fail.
When the shadow calls, you can’t fight it
When confronted by darkness or adversity, it cannot be resisted.
When he spreads his wings, all your powers drain
When the ominous force (symbolized as 'he') reveals itself, it drains all strength and abilities.
When the preachers lie, you believe it
Belief in false teachings from religious leaders despite their deceitful nature.
When we’re down below, we all stay
While in a lower state or afterlife, everyone remains in that condition together.
In the black sleep
Refers to being trapped or confined in a state of darkness or death, metaphorically termed 'black sleep'.
Cry wolf, no one here to save you
Even when a distress signal is given, no one is available to rescue or aid.
No hope, praying is in vain
Lack of hope, suggesting that praying or seeking divine intervention is futile.
Listen closely, can you hear the bells toll
Listen attentively; can you perceive the bells tolling, signifying an impending event or doom?
Ringing out, for you and you and you
The tolling of the bells is for everyone, indicating a universal fate.
When the shadow calls, you can’t fight it
Reiteration of the inability to resist or combat the darkness or impending fate.
When he spreads his wings, all your powers drain
Once the ominous force reveals itself, it depletes all strengths and abilities.
When the preachers lie, you believe it
Despite falsehoods spread by religious figures, individuals continue to believe in them.
When we’re down below, we all stay
While in a lower state or afterlife, everyone remains together in that condition.
In the black sleep
Restating the idea of being confined in a state of darkness or death, referred to as the 'black sleep'.
