Darkness And Hope Lyrics

So this is
the exemplar deathstyle
you told me about;
you want my seed in
is this the treason
I bare the fame from?
my fatal freedom;
the omniswansong

I carry the news of Darkness and hope

So this is
the underworld
you have in your heart;
you hide in your room
I´m so sorry to say
it only makes me laugh

I carry the news of Darkness and hope

So here I have-your act of love
within the poison-of your every word
each night you stay in-each night I will have to run
knowing from darkness and hope
there is no return.

I carry the news of darkness and hope.

dedicated to the small great people of Saboia, Alentejo, Portugal.
Hang, rope, silver bullet,magic pill,mandrake´s root. The southern deathstyle

If you have the book for Darkness And Hope, under the lyrics for this song is what this is dedicated to... "Dedicated to the small great people of Saboia, Alentejo, Portugal. Hang, rope, silver bullet, magic pill, mandrake's root. The southern deathstyle". 'Mandrake's root' itself is a reference to the plant (Mandrake). Their roots are used in magic rituals and such...

I think the song is just in the perspective of someone convincing a close friend/lover or people not to commit suicide, almost in a mocking tone.

"So this is the exemplar deathstyle you told me about; you want my seed in is this the treason I bare the fame from? my fatal freedom; the omniswansong"

-this stanza sounds sarcastic. When someone performs a swan song, it's usually their last hoorah and it's supposed to be magnificent and inspirational. This person thinks killing his/her self will open peoples eyes. Obviously he thinks it's stupid.

"So this is the underworld you have in your heart; you hide in your room I�m so sorry to say it only makes me laugh"

  • Refers to this person's ridiculous reasons for wanting to commit suicide. It only makes him laugh.

The part where the glass shatters and we hear it being sweeped up is him stopping the person from cutting their wrists/throat etc.
