Black tomb

After Forever's song 'Black Tomb' delves into themes of resurrection, power, and vengeance, set against a dark and mystical backdrop. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a stormy, rain-soaked mountain landscape where a tomb opens, releasing a powerful spirit from the past. This spirit, filled with warm, enchanting energy, symbolizes a return to former glory and strength. The imagery of the tomb lighting up the dark valley suggests a significant transformation, where darkness is pierced by a powerful, almost divine light.

The song's narrative continues with the spirit's low whispers and the palpable sense of its powers. The lyrics emphasize the spirit's sanctity and strength, hinting at a revered and formidable figure. This spirit is poised to rule once more, bringing with it a sense of sweet vengeance against the 'black spirits of evil.' The mention of 'tainted souls' living again suggests a resurrection not just of the spirit but of others who were once corrupted or lost. The theme of vengeance is central, as the spirit seeks retribution against those who have wronged or opposed it.

The final verses of the song intensify the sense of impending judgment and retribution. The spirit's return is framed as a moment of reckoning, where the fate of the righteous and the doomed will be decided. The imagery of the 'mother of the found' and the 'king of doom' evokes powerful archetypes, while the 'fame of blackness' and 'fountain of blood' add to the song's dark, gothic atmosphere. The call to let the 'enthroned' crawl and die until the end of time underscores the spirit's relentless pursuit of vengeance and justice. 'Black Tomb' is a powerful exploration of resurrection, power, and the inexorable drive for retribution, set within a richly atmospheric and darkly poetic narrative.
