Dracum Nocte

Saurom's song 'Dracum Nocte' transports listeners to a mystical medieval city, Montblanc, where ancient traditions and dark rituals come to life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a place steeped in history and magic, with its medieval aroma and splendor captivating the senses. The city is personified as an 'ancient empress,' suggesting a place of great power and mystery.

As night falls, the song takes a darker turn, invoking the forces of evil and calling for a celebration of the macabre. The lyrics describe a ritualistic gathering where the townspeople don their finest attire and head to the plaza of San Francesc. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as they prepare to open the church doors and let the chaos ensue. The repeated chant of 'Dracum nocte' (Night of the Dragon) adds to the song's eerie and mystical vibe.

The song also references the legend of Saint George (San Jordi) and his annual battle with the dragon. However, in a twist, the townspeople aim to prevent Saint George from slaying the dragon, instead choosing to revel in the dragon's power. The imagery of drinking the dragon's blood and dancing with demons and executioners creates a vivid and haunting scene. The song concludes with the towers of the castle driving away Saint George, solidifying the town's embrace of the dark forces.

' Dracum Nocte' is a celebration of medieval folklore, dark rituals, and the allure of the mystical and macabre. Saurom's blend of historical references and vivid imagery creates a captivating and eerie narrative that transports listeners to a different time and place.
