Discover the story of the song > Hour of the Nightingale – Trees of Eternity

The lyrics are telling the protagonist not to cry for those who sacrificed their lives and to lift their head up. They should remember that sadness will follow those who forget that night is not the end. The protagonist is compared to a nightingale in the darkest hour, their voice reflecting the beauty of dawn. The lyrics also speak of grief washing away those who hold onto the night as if it belongs to them, and warns against building walls to protect from reflection. The bridge portrays an ocean of despair where all souls must pass to mend what is broken, with the protagonist waiting on an island for their partner to rise again. The chorus repeats the message of embracing the protagonist as a nightingale, as their voice pierces through the storm like an arrow, reflecting the colors of dawn.
