Raven Of Dispersion

Title: Raven Of Dispersion
Band: Therion
Album: Vovin

Fly alone into the dark and the cloud of memory
To see the world and angels be hurled into the sea
Of misery and cease to be
Black bird fly, rise very high
To a place above (the) sky
Take me away, lead astray
Where i find another day fly high to a place above the sky
Fly away where i find another day
Black bird fly, rise very high
To a place above (the) sky
Take me away, lead astray
Where i find another day
Fly high to a place above the sky
Fly away where I find another day
The black bird carry me on it’s wings
To a place beyond the flood of memory.

“What a great song by this gothic metal band. The melody is so soul-mesmerizing and the lyric is very dark though very simple. The same lines are repeated several times but do not bore the listeners. The story behind the lyrics is mainly about a dark journey to an unknown place. Perhaps the character involved is the one who is seeking for a place to escape from his/her reality world. The emotion of sadness and mournfulness appear in this lyric, by the words; misery, cloud of memory, black bird, lead astray, symbolize the dark atmosphere as if the character wants to be invisible from his/her reality.” - Koffin
