The lyrics of the song take us back to history during the rescue journey of mankind.
Her name was Eta. She has been abused and underestimated all her life. She took her pain along with her consciousness into the hibernation capsule. There for thousands of years, tormented by the shadow of the past, her bitterness grew and evolved. She didn't know exactly when her hurt turned into hate. She hadn't noticed exactly when her will to do good had vanished, replaced by fierce anger. She had no idea at what point this growing power of vengeance on people took away her control, or when it awoke her from her thousands years sleep. She only knew that she had cut the throat of a sleeping passenger a moment ago and that she was going for more. In the ecstasy of revenge, rapt in darkness...
lyrics
She wanted to be good
To give the world her smile
She was like a rain for dry tree
But the more she gave them
The more they took from her
She always stood with empty hands for free
The time was going on
And things were changing fast
Old shine and smile departed from her face
The things were going wrong
And thoughts began to rush
And unrequited toil brought dark days
Tonight
The worst of the demons is going to open his eyes
Wake up
This night all of light will turn into the dark
Closed in the icy grave
Sleeping for a thousand years
On the ship called the only human hope
Dreaming very bad dream
Awakened her in scream
In anger stronger than any known dope
Strong pain in fragile heart
Destroyed delicacy
Flush goodness off with rain of salty tears
The sense of hurt and fear
This time just disappeared
And will of life became the will to kill
Tonight
One broken heart will do that all humanity will die
Wake up
Before all of light will turn into the dark
There is no mercy no empathy
People sin and people cry
You are hearing but not listening
Every day parts of you die
Falling like a sand through fingers
Something from you goes away
You see you're nothing without it
Try to stop it but it never stays
Look at her and say that evil doesn't come from goodness
From broken hearts from tears
Changing life into madness
From hope, which was killed
Killed by the time
And by us who let every dream
And by us who let every dream die

you know what I love? when the bass starts moving at the end of Beneath the Mountains of Madness. when you need that extra rep in the weight room or to finish the final leg of a 5K, slap this on and get it done Lovdahl, Ian

Been looking to expand my power metal collection a bit beyond the classics of HammerFall, Blind Guardian, et. al. Not disappointed by these guys in the least. A sound very much inspired by German and Swedish power metal greats imo. caffeinatedmetalhead
