In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I hear the Call of the ancient Forest
A thousand Whispers embrace my Mind
I am the ancient One
Called from the Unlight
Cursed by the Might
Of the ancient Forest
His call, so clear and near
Burns in my Heart so bright
Burns like an endless Flame
In darkest Night
I see the Moon arise
Feel how he looks at me
Oh, how sweet does this Silence taste
I have fallen in the Spell of this endless Night
I fell asleep and I'll never awake again
Shadows are dancing above my closed Eyes
As I am buried in a Cloud of Dust
My Body fades away but I still remain
Endless Darkness
Only Moonlight's Shine
And I walk upon the Shadows
Beyond forgotten Woods I dance
My Eyes are like a Mirror
I'm searching for the Stars
Alone I stand on the Path to Eternity
Only the Moon shows me the Way
Slowly I walk the Stairs
Of the Moonlight
And the Raven flies with me again
Spirits dance on Shadows
As I grasp for frozen Stars
I have fallen
In the Spell of the Moonlight
Its Shine embraces me again
Blinded by this Light
I'm falling carefully
Down into a Mirror
In another World
I will fly again above the frozen River
My Blood has fallen deep
Into this endless Field of Snow
My Heart is frozen
As I'm caught in a Dream
Endless Memories are flying beside me
I will die in this Dream
See me cry at the Gate
I am lost in this Dream
And my Wings turned to dust
Never ending Pain I feel
See my Tears fall like Rain
Creating a River which carries my Pain
Where are the Shadows
Which once carried me?
Where is the Stair To the Moonlight
I have walked?
I am falling to vanish
In the darkness I love
And the Grace of Night
Sends for me out again
Look, the Mirror shines bright,
I can see it with my Eyes
Oh, great Goddess,
Your own Words
Turned to Lies
In the Spell of Midnight's Grace
My Soul's embraced
By Moonlight's Shine
In the Spell of Midnight's Grace
My Soul's embraced
By Demon's Cries
See the Stormwind rising higher
See the Mirror in my Eyes
See the Dance of cursed Shadows
See me die in my own Dream
Wake me up from endless Suffer
I'm in the Spell of Midnight's Grace
A thousand Whispers embrace my Mind
I am the ancient One
Called from the Unlight
Cursed by the Might
Of the ancient Forest
His call, so clear and near
Burns in my Heart so bright
Burns like an endless Flame
In darkest Night
I see the Moon arise
Feel how he looks at me
Oh, how sweet does this Silence taste
I have fallen in the Spell of this endless Night
I fell asleep and I'll never awake again
Shadows are dancing above my closed Eyes
As I am buried in a Cloud of Dust
My Body fades away but I still remain
Endless Darkness
Only Moonlight's Shine
And I walk upon the Shadows
Beyond forgotten Woods I dance
My Eyes are like a Mirror
I'm searching for the Stars
Alone I stand on the Path to Eternity
Only the Moon shows me the Way
Slowly I walk the Stairs
Of the Moonlight
And the Raven flies with me again
Spirits dance on Shadows
As I grasp for frozen Stars
I have fallen
In the Spell of the Moonlight
Its Shine embraces me again
Blinded by this Light
I'm falling carefully
Down into a Mirror
In another World
I will fly again above the frozen River
My Blood has fallen deep
Into this endless Field of Snow
My Heart is frozen
As I'm caught in a Dream
Endless Memories are flying beside me
I will die in this Dream
See me cry at the Gate
I am lost in this Dream
And my Wings turned to dust
Never ending Pain I feel
See my Tears fall like Rain
Creating a River which carries my Pain
Where are the Shadows
Which once carried me?
Where is the Stair To the Moonlight
I have walked?
I am falling to vanish
In the darkness I love
And the Grace of Night
Sends for me out again
Look, the Mirror shines bright,
I can see it with my Eyes
Oh, great Goddess,

In the Spell of Midnight's Grace
My Soul's embraced
By Moonlight's Shine
In the Spell of Midnight's Grace
My Soul's embraced
By Demon's Cries
See the Stormwind rising higher
See the Mirror in my Eyes
See the Dance of cursed Shadows
See me die in my own Dream
Wake me up from endless Suffer
I'm in the Spell of Midnight's Grace

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
