Insomnium - Black Heart Rebellion Lyrics






Never pariah but always on one's own
Unwavering mind, black heart rebellion

Cold is the night for the ones born of shadows
Solemn is the way for the ones never restless
Cold is the night for the ones drawn to darkness
Desolate is the path of self-believers

[2x]
Never bow to anyone;
Never give in
Never surrender to anyone;
Never go astray

Morning star, angel of the dawn
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Fill the silence with trembling thunder
Light our path with glimmering eyes

Lies...
Lies will bend the minds of the weak
Life...
Life is meant to be led, not followed

Lonely is the road for the ones seeking the truth
Bleak is the trail leading to perception
But only knowledge can cure the blindness
And only knowledge can open our eyes and make us see

Never bow to anyone;
Never give in
Never surrender to anyone;
Never go astray

Morning star, angel of the dawn
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Fill the silence with trembling thunder
Light our path with glimmering eyes

Lies...
Lies will bend the minds of the weak
Life...
Life is meant to be led, not followed

Never below
Never above
On one's own
Never below
Never above
Black heart rebellion

Morning star, angel of the dawn
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Fill the silence with trembling thunder
Light our path with glimmering eyes

Morning star, angel of the dawn
Light your torch, your radiant crown
Dress the sky in ever-cold silver
Unshroud the sphere from the clouds

    That riff sounds like some song from the Caucasus. Wtf.

  3. A.... S....

    This song could make a great soundtrack for a space battle scene.

    You are welcome :)

    Incredibly rhythmically and cool!

    Thanks. 😌🖤

    The lyrics seem to be ambiguous as many times. What confuses me a bit is, that Lucifer ("Morning Star" in the text) shall be the one who brings light to path of the seekers of truth.
    How do you other INSOMNIUM fans interpret the meaning of this song's lyrics?

    "Never pariah but always on one's own

    They're not ambiguous, they're pretty straight. This is indeed an ode to Lucifer which is the last source to seek any kind of truth.

  11. G.... R....

    STUPENDA 🖤

  12. J.... A....

    METAL IS THE MOST POWERFUL BEAUTIFUL BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD!!! HAIL ALL METALHEADS \m/

  13. M.... H....

    This is one beautiful epic majestic song. This is the album when Insomnium took over from Dark Tranquillity as my favourite melodeath for sure... Long time since DT have done anything this damn good (Fiction). But nobody will ever match the ability of Mikael Stanne on vocals.

  14. T.... L....

    the riffing in this song is really great. No filler tracks in this album

  15. t.... ....

    4:38 onwards...... just breathless.....

  16. A.... L....

    Now we just need the band The Black Heart Rebellion to make a track called Insomnium.

  17. S.... ....

    <3 ..........saw you on Thursday 26.1.17 it was awesome \m/ \m/ !!!!!

  18. Y.... G....

    Masterpiece. Hail from Brazil !

  19. G.... ....

    This might be the most epic metal song ever composed! Fucking perfect!

  20. S.... ....

    "But only knowledge can cure the blindness, and only knowledge can open our eyes and make us see." Words to fucking live by.

  23. L.... W....

    I love this song so fucking much. such a pity they didn't play it during the show in toronto...*tears

  24. G.... K....

    insomnium did it again. you can not compare this unique band with another one. great album. i would say this is the best album of the year. period.

  25. v.... b....

    NEVER BELOW,
    NEVER ABOVE,
    NO ONE'S OWN

  26. C.... G....

    Getting lyrics from this song tattooed on me, can't wait!

  27. r.... ....

    Just discovered this band and I must say after In Flames' downfall I've regained faith in scandinavian Melodic Death Metal.

  28. J.... D....

    Fuck ! It's me or the voice is too much under the volume level of the instruments???

    *Sorry for my english*

  29. C.... ....

    got the album the minute it came out, havent stopped listning to it since..
    Pure awesomeness!

  30. A.... M....

    I've heard this album 3 times in the last two weeks, and while it doesn't tread new sonic terratories instead expanding the existing sounds of Melodic / Tech / Death Metal it's still an absolutely awesome album oozing great musicianship, composition, and great production that captures every detail on the album.

    Epic, Powerful and Majestic are words that don't fully do this album justice. 

  31. a.... p....

    fucking fantastic album and fantastic song

  32. F.... U....

    Dios¡¡ donde habeis estado toda mi vida ¡¡¡¡
    Bestia brutal perfecto¡¡¡

  33. A.... D....

    So, so, so sick.  This album is an incredible return to form after the disappointing One For Sorrow.

  34. i.... ....

    Love this album, it's amazing!

  35. S.... ....

    The new album kicks but! The melancholy, the atmosphere, it's awesome. Insomnium bring the quality every time.

  36. H.... N....

    This song gives me goosebumps

  37. P.... ....

    Btw. I bought album and sounds were awesome!! masterpiece album music/production

  38. T.... ....

    Chills.

  39. j.... b....

    the drums and guitar sound sick

  40. R.... B....

    Very impressive

  41. �.... �....

    русские есть?

    �.... �....

    Есть.

  42. A.... A....

    People who disliked this got their music taste off a cereal box.

  43. G.... ....

    When you buy the Album, If I could make one suggestion to those who have been listening to Revelation / While we sleep, switch the track list to

    The Primeval Dark, Collapsing Words, Black Heart Rebellion, Revelation, The River, While We Sleep,Lose to Night, Ephemeral

    While we sleep and Revelation are the first 2 tracks and for me it made the album a little rough to get through since I already heard the 2 songs. This track listing made the album that much better.

    Amazing overall!

  44. Y.... v....

    reminds me of Insomnium

  45. S.... M....

    C'mon please mr. postman...bring my copy of Shadows of the Dying Sun.
    Agonising is the wait for the ones not included \m/

    S.... M....

    Sami Marttinen I have

  46. V.... K....

    I appreciate the blast beats and some blackened death metal influences with Insomnium trademark "Gawd these harmonies are so fucking beautiful" sound. 
    Viva Insomnium. 

  47. N.... A....

    Fast its awesome

  48. N.... A....

    Pretty cool

  49. h.... j....

    the section at 1:50 is epic! so is the whole song mind you. this could be a classic release.

  50. J.... B....

    Such raw beauty and emotion. This song and the river take me back to In the Halls of Awaiting. Cant get enough of this album been spinning it nonstop since i got it :) Still waiting on my casket edition tho so pumped! Make sure you all preorder or buy the album bands like Insomnium deserve it.

  51. t.... ....

    Amazing.......

  52. J.... I....

    5:08
    ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

  53. N.... H....

    Unmistakably Insomnium. Classic sound

  54. N.... v....

    brutally beautiful. deeply addictive.

  55. B.... T....

    Wow a blast beat from insomnium!?!? Incredible haha

  56. A.... D....

    the better in flames...for the last 5 years....

    A.... D....

    why would you even compare these two bands? they're not even in the same genre. it's like saying Kreator are the better rhapsody of fire, absolutely incomparable.

    A.... D....

    I like in flames i like insomnium...just like them better than in flames thats it...

    A.... D....

    @Jake Lawson Bullshit. In Flames haven't been Melodic death metal for many years. Clayman was propably their last serious album, what they've put out ever since was alternative metal shit all over. And even before you could hardly compare their style to the one Insomnium play.

  57. t.... g....

    OMG JUST GOT MINE SO AWESOME OMG OMG

  58. A.... t....

    So beautiful ! Amazing stuff

  59. s.... b....

    brutal & beautiful <3

    Markus Hirvonen outshines everyone on this record..!!

  60. E.... G....

    Awesome on Markus' Hirvonen's part. I had a Blast ;) 

  61. M.... A....

    INSOMNIUM <3

    reminds me of In Flames

    @TehBegel Dear Melodic Death Metal Loving Friends;


    There is some similarity with Songs from "Jester Race"
    "Dead Eternity" and "December Flower" by In Flames mixes  blast beats and accurate lead guitar melodies combined with tremolo picking riffs and classic metal riffs.  
    Insomnium uses the same technique but has a bit more depth then In Flames. Also In Flames tuned guitars to "drop C" while Insomnium tune to "Drop D". 

    Also, American music market is clouded by Bible Thumping Views and Corporate Greed which makes melodic death metal bands a little bit less popular unlike the Scandinavian Market.  In a long term the music market is driven by various negative externalities. Finnish bands have a better incentive to practice their art. 

    Opeth/ Katatonia (Swedish bands) concert brought 200-300 people In Oklahoma while Country Music Festival brings  10,000 people. 
    Some kids also wore Insomnium shirt from Dallas concert. 


    Listen to the radio music and its abysmal anti intellectual rhetoric and compare it to Insomnium or "Whoracle" by In Flames. 

     But, USA is also produces The Black Dahlia Murder, As I Lay Dying, Daylight Dies and other respectable melo-death and metal  bands. 

    Melodic death metal fans should discuss music peacefully and respectfully. \
    Sorry for my long blurb. I type fast. 

    T.... ....

    @Vsevolod Koudriavtsev In Flames tune their guitar to standard C or drop A# and Insomnium always use standard D. I listen to both bands and I'm not sure I see any big similarities other than it's both melodic death metal. This sounds much more like Dark Tranquillity than In Flames, it's melancholic and sounds alot more atmospheric.

    T.... ....

    Oh yeah, "Black Heart Rebellion" sounds so much like "Leeches" that I usually scream the wrong lyrics whenever I play either song . . .

    T.... ....

    There no comparison possible between insomnium and in flames, only at the begins of this band it looked sometime like the jester race period for the demo and the first and second album. after, NO COMPARISION POSSIBLE. 

    T.... ....

    Few In Flames songs such the the "In Flames" from the first album and "Dead Eternity", "December Flower"  on "Jesters Race" used tremolo picking pseudo black metal riffs and fluid lead guitar melodies just like Insomnium Does in the "Black Heart Rebellion", "The River", and "Song Of The Blackest Bird" but the newer In Flames music is different from Insomnium. In my opinion Insomnium performed authentic melodic death metal in veins of Gates of Ishtar, Early In Flames, Dissection, Ablaze My Sorrow and few other bands. They are Finnish but play music in a Swedish manner. I jammed Black Heart Rebellion and "Seasons of Frost" from Gates of Ishtar and noticed some similarities in the riffs!!!! 

    Likewise, Insomnium mastered the art of writing melodic extreme metal songs so their music is extremely awesome for people who enjoy this kind of music. 

    Also, the last In Flames album was abysmal, overproduced, bubble gum  poppy, and soulless! Melodic death metal with no melody, no death, and no metal! "Seasons of Frost",  "Dawn of Flames",Whoracle", "Jesters Race", "Tales From Thousand Lakes", "Slaughter of The Soul" are the epic albums which gave birth to Insomnium!

  83. C.... S....

    This band makes me wish it was winter! That tone reminds me of Dissection, and the only way to listen properly is standing in a frozen gale. I fucking hate summer. But I love this band!

    C.... S....

    +Chris Allen Stone 023 Indeed fk the summer, winter is much better :) less stress too

    C.... S....

    +Chris Allen Stone 023 lolwut? Chicks wear less clothes in the summer therefore it's the superior season.

    C.... S....

    +tavi921 Band shirts all year round. Unless female arms turn you on?

    C.... S....

    @Chris Allen Stone... Winter's my favourite season too man. The sun drains all my energy and makes me lethargic; I hate that feeling.
