Insomnium - In the Halls of Awaiting

Band: Insomnium
Album: In The Halls of Awaiting
Song: In The Halls of Awaiting
Genre: Melodic Death Metal


Evening full of grandeur, skies tinged with red
Mountains crowned with crimson, treetops with scarlet blaze
As the dusk is falling, night settles in
Stars slowly come out, moon glides skywards
...Still cheerless is in my soul, my heart filled with cares...

Longing for the misty shores, weather-beaten strands so poor
Where the weeping sky arches over water calm
Pining for primeval woods, murky shade of leafy roof
Where the silent trees arch over our path

Do you walk in mourning, still wear the grief
Raiment of sorrow, remembrance of me
Through the years of bleakness, winters of bitter cold
Will you not forget me, forsake my soul
...Low-spirited is my song, downhearted my tune...

Beyond enchanted sea, wistful is my sleep
Darkness by my side, through the dreary night
Will you follow me, through eternity
To another world, to the quiet halls

I've lost my way in the dark, strayed apart from my love
I've faced the demons of might, passed away into shades

Long are lonely years, slowly pass these days
In undying land, in the divine light
Where I wait...in the dark

The black of the night turns to dusk of the dawn
Through the mist now shines the fairest light of all
The caress I've waited for eternity
Into the shades, together we fade

why does the passage at the end of the first stanza end in still cheerless is in my soul? that doesn't make grammatical sense, the rest are good though.

@ixsetf English is not their first language,

[PivotAmeture08]

Insomnium is the best

[dAedAliAnMiNd]

I've searched for a good Insomnium song,but I failed repeatedly.Insomnium songs are just perfect.Nothing less

[puremetal89]

It clearly is "Still cheerless is my soul." Which in English makes perfect sense, may not be something you'd hear often lol, but literally it is grammatically correct, his soul is lacking cheer, not sure what is difficult in understanding what he is saying.

[jenn4utube2011]

one of their best masterpieces!!!

[ivanaiki1]

Epic song !!!

[Gene393]

lyrically the best band ever

[dAedAliAnMiNd]

@ixsetf Pffff in the site I visited the lyric was without the "is".....Or,wsimply I didn't see it....I guess I have to apologise

[ixsetf]

@dAedAliAnMiNd no the lyric is "Still cheerless IS in my soul" the problem here is that "is in" doesn't work, "is" or "in" by themselves would but not together.

[dAedAliAnMiNd]

@ixsetf mistake: in* my soul :/

[dAedAliAnMiNd]

@ixsetf Well the lyric is "...Still cheerless inn my soul,my heart filled with cares..." and if you actually force your brain to think,you will understand it

To hell with anyone that says death metal has no feeling. This song is beautiful in every way. And the lyrics are so sad. Truly an emotional song. Absolute brilliance.
