𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄 ✧ Flameborn (Official Music Video) “Flameborn“ - a symphonic metal duet ft. Marcela Bovio (Stream of Passion) - is a song about restoring a lost friendship and through that, letting go of a shared painful past. It is an autobiographical story and dedicated to my dear friend and, ex-Xandria band member, Steven Wussow, who also performs bass guitar on “Flameborn“. The song is a testament to Symphonic Metal: bombastic to the bone, jam-packed with haunting vocals, beautiful orchestral melodies, and driven by impressive heavy riffing and double bass. “Flameborn“ is the forth song & single of Dianne van Giersbergen's solo project “DIANNE“, and will feature on her debut album “Soulward Bound“, that will be released through a waterfall strategy. Previously released songs are “After the Storm“, “Unleash the Siren“ and “A Symphonic Tragedy“. Read all about “Soulward Bound“ on The story in the video contains a past and present story line. The past story line (all dark scenes) sets right before DIANNE's first song/single “After the Storm“. The present story line (all forest scenes) is a continuation of the album's overarching story and picks up where DIANNE's last single “A Symphonic Tragedy“, ended. ✦ 𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗘 𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗛 ✦ Music, T-shirt, signed photos, jewelry & more!

I’ve wept, since the day I left you on the storm-tormented shores. Dark is the fight that broke us. We took up arms, and then we never spoke again. Here, I do stand before you, a foolish heart consumed with pain. We are flameborn, even darkness won’t conquer our twin flame souls. (We are the flameborn souls.) Through this nightfall, I'll be your northern star, come what may, until our dying day. Our eyes shine a thousand stories, each gleam and spark does tell of a harrowing hell. Will you share my path, console me? Or leave me poisoned by your hand? By my hand.. Once there was sunlight, ferociously flaming. Fire and ashes fell upon the world Out of the embers the cretin awakened. All was forsaken, dust to dust. We are flameborn, even darkness won’t conquer our twin flame souls. (We are the flameborn souls.) Through this nightfall, I'll be your northern star, come what may, until our dying day. Flameborn soul! (The) tyrant will not atone Flameborn soul! Demonized, terrorized. Lights went down, our curtain fell. The storm awoke, without farewell. End the sorrow, lay your healing hand onto my tear-swept soul. I dwelled a never-ending twilight. You’ve found me and heavy, we fell into open arms, my long-lost friend. We are flameborn, even darkness won’t conquer our twin flame souls. (We are the flameborn souls.) Through this nightfall, I'll be your northern star, come what may.. No foe will break us, flameborn and fearless, until our dying day.
