A shadow falls upon the earth
This is the coming of our nemesis
Slowly we watch as their armies descend
We are prepared for battle
We will fight until the end
Till every soul has passed
We’ll never let them take our lands
We’ll fight them till our deaths

Seek not the coming tranquility in days of darkness that fall
The darkness is spreading fast and its black shroud engulfs us all
And hell descended upon us
Like a raging flame, spreading through the trees
Destroying all life in its path, destruction and devastation I see
Lands of kings and might of men will not reign supreme
In this world that’s tormented by darkness, infested by demons
The future has been sealed

Up in arms we prepare for the final conflict, prepare for the coming storm
They come from the darkness of the nether regions, seeking power and eternal domination
War Cries, the silence dies
Impeding doom, we shall deny
Sentence all your destinies to the after life, in total oblivion
We shall not fall in darkness, we shall stand and fight
Rid the world from the harness of the evil demons
Over lands and souls of ours, we shall deny them life

King of darkness we wage war on you against your vile plague.
We wont fall before you
Succumb to your sword
We'll wage this war
The shadow of darkness has fallen before us
This war is won
Into the future we step forth
With dreams we go

    First of all, a big salute to the greatest Heavy Metal band of India-- Demonic Resurrection.

    The lyrics is straight on the face, self explained... Humanity's perpetual war against evil forces...despite all the darkness like death, disease, pestilence and the eventuality of everyone's death... Humanity has won before, and will win again..

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
