German Melodic Death Viking Metal group VAGRANT present new track song. "Darkness During The Reign Of A Black Sun"

VAGRANT delivers their stunning track

"Darkness During The Reign Of A Black Sun" portrays a young warrior's sinister visions and dreams, in which he foresees a big war that eventually will be his last — yet the vision leaves a question about whether the prophecy can be trusted.

The second offering from the album, the record's longest and most intricate song. Taken from their debut album The Rise Of Norm Out June 14th CD/Digital No Clean Singing gave us the pleasure of the advance streaming last night!
and had this to say about it and it's prev track. The first single from the album, "Blood On A Crow's Beak", happened to be its closing track, a tragic narrative in which the dying warrior seems to share his final thoughts as his body is returned to the land of his birth. Musically, it's an irresistible gallop of heroic riffing and glorious leads, of compulsive rhythms and scorching vocals, accented by acoustic strumming and ominous keyboard layers.

Now we have a second offering from the album, the record's longest and most intricate song. "Darkness During The Reign Of A Black Sun" portrays a young warrior's sinister visions and dreams, in which he foresees a big war that eventually will be his last — yet the vision leaves a question about whether the prophecy can be trusted.

Lyrics

This is a place of no return

here he stands in front of his enemy

without weapon in his hands

slowly he begins to see

everything now falls apart

nightmares they keep him awake

frozen tears fall to the ground

and he feels the beating of his heart

this is a place of no return

into the night he walks

all these visions tearing on his mind

what if the cause is wrong?

what if the gods do not decide?

out in the dark he hears

silence speaks to him in a foreign tongue

his hopes turn into fears

his entire life has he been wrong?

Is there anyone who knows the answer

to all these questions inside his head

these doubts are they justified

or is it fear that drives him mad?

Night and day

have always kept him sane

soon he' ll find the answers to questions

he never asked

Is this war his destiny

or fate his own enemy

is it where he' s going to die?

Is this war his destiny

or is fate his own enemy

this is where he's going to die

he finds no sleep

not a single dream comes to his heart

so he stays awake

a whole night he battles his doubts

he sees the sun arise

blood red skies announcing a new day

no tears inside his eyes
