Black Heart Rebellion Lyrics
Never pariah but always on one's own
Unwavering mind, black heart rebellion
Cold is the night for the ones born of shadows
Solemn is the way for the ones never restless
Cold is the night for the ones drawn to darkness
Desolate is the path of self-believers
Never bow to anyone; never give in
Never surrender to anyone; never go astray
Morning star, angel of the dawn
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Fill the silence with trembling thunder
Light our path with glimmering eyes
Morning star, angel of the dawn
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Dress the sky in ever-cold silver
Unshroud the sphere from the clouds
Lies...
Lies will bend the minds of the weak
Life...
Life is meant to be led, not followed
Lonely is the road for the ones seeking the truth
Bleak is the trail leading to perception
But only knowledge can cure the blindness
And only knowledge can open our eyes and make us see
Never below
Never above
On one's own
Never below
Never above
Black heart rebellion
Unwavering mind, black heart rebellion
Solemn is the way for the ones never restless
Cold is the night for the ones drawn to darkness
Desolate is the path of self-believers
Never surrender to anyone; never go astray
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Fill the silence with trembling thunder
Light our path with glimmering eyes
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Dress the sky in ever-cold silver
Unshroud the sphere from the clouds
Lies will bend the minds of the weak
Life...
Life is meant to be led, not followed
Bleak is the trail leading to perception
But only knowledge can cure the blindness
And only knowledge can open our eyes and make us see
Never above
On one's own
Never below
Never above
Black heart rebellion

What Insomnium wrote in their booklet about this song : We've always liked long and epic songs and this one is a bit more darker and aggressive approach to this same theme. I've always listened to black metal and the first band I ever went to record an album with was musically closer to this style (band called Arrival). Aggressiveness comes mainly from the drumming, which include blast beats and lots of double bass drums. However, it's still very melodic song and for example the interlude is quite soft and gives contrast to all the pounding. It's a bit different take on everything we've done before but I think the song still sounds pretty much of Insomnium. The first version was longer and included an epic ending part. With the second demo I decided to streamline the whole arrangement just to keep it more cohesive. To give more room for all the part that already were there. You need to restrain yourself sometimes to not get carried away. Lyrically the song is about self-belief and finding your own way and path in life. It's hard to swim against the stream but in the end it makes you stronger. V. Friman
