HARTLIGHT - Midnight [OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO]

HARTLIGHT 2025-08-29 | Here is “Midnight”, live from our concert in Nilvange on April 11th, 2025! This song, taken from our latest album The Triumph of Metal, was the opening track of the set that night. We hope you’ll enjoy this powerful live rendition of Midnight!

“Midnight” is about the fear of facing your own fears - that decisive moment when you take action and watch the darkness fade away. It also reflects the apprehension before beginning the alchemical work, the process that brings the transformation needed for fulfilment.

Hartlight is a French symphonic metal band of IV companions, crafting music with spellbinding force. Each song is a ritual of reconnection, immersion, and transmutation - a path through our alchemical sanctuary, carved in the poetry of power.

MIDNIGHT

Midnight is ringing
My insight is blind
Tomorrow’s afraid
To unveil its light

Dragons are growling above the warm lamp,
I grab my blade, floating in my brain,
My breath is fleeting at the seeker’s shrine
The scythe of death threatening my spine

Oh no escape, find a way, pierce it now, the fear of the dark
Divine mark, fire bite, just a fight, in the pale moonlight

The flickering halo’s devoured by gargoyles
Scattered shadows prowl the cathedral

The constant smoke escapes from the chimney
The handwritten bird language pages are inked
I seek to lift the veil of mysteries
For my mind deeper than the old sea

Oh no escape, find a way, pierce it now, the fear of the dark
Divine mark, fire bite, just a fight !
Oh ! No escape to make my way, face it now, in the dead of night
No more cries, No more lies, no more doubts, to leave behind

Rite after rite the unknown will rise
Cradle of truth, the demise of time
Fathomless cosmos will be my guide
I seek the red stone for a new life
Until it’s right for slags to die

My steps were guided by a single oath
To choose the path leading to the unknown
I transcended my flesh and my own grave
It’s time to slay the nightmare

Oh no escape, find a way, pierce it now, The fear of the dark
Divine mark, fire bite, just a fight !
Oh no escape, find a way, fight it now, in the red star light
No more cries, No more lies, no more doubts, to pass the gate of midnight

It celebrates the respect we hold for all living species and their unique ways of being - an inexhaustible well of wisdom.

AS MY WILL TO POWER IS SEEN

The breeze lightens my hair
As I leave the dense smoke
I cast my dazzled gaze
On the dale of plant gold

Along the path I tread
The scent of cedar spread
And mingle in the air
On those I’ve come to stare

Piercing eyes and amber gleam
Driven by a pure energy
They hold the secret of my inner peace
Their wide roots deepen within
As my will to power is seen

When great disgust prevails
Gather from distant heights
The stars of the mountains
That bears the icy sky

A child creates reclines
In perfumed flowers wide
With a lyre enchants
Plays joy of the life’s tide

May this isle provide
A haven for my mind
From many travels’ close
I rest upon its shore

Let my instinct conceive
An airy mercury
Who flies above the peaks
And dwells in caverns deep

HARTLIGHT - The City of Tears [OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO]

HARTLIGHT 2025-07-26 | We are happy to share a new extract from our live show at Le Gueulard Plus in Nilvange, France, on April 11th, 2025! Enjoy this emotional live rendition of The City of Tears!

This song is an immersion into the ruins of a city perched on a cliff, veiled by dark woods and endless downpours. It mirrors the inner temple drowned in tears - yet capable of becoming a refuge built on vulnerability. It reminds us we can carve our own foundations in stone, let joyful memories flow like rivers, and purify the darkest waters.

The City of Tears

Bluish droplets collide
They faint and intertwine
On the iron stained glass
Waving in the half-light

Delicate spinal columns
Witness to fleeting beauty
Skeletons tending to heaven
Bears the cathedral city

The storm's retreating roar
Clashes with the thunder's roll

Castle built on a black cliff
Hidden by the evergreens
The slow rustle of the wind
Cradles the City of Tears
Soothing the lonely shadows
Pounding the murky arches
The symphony of echoes
Is sheltering the City of Tears

Roaming in my pale mantle
I am the ghost and the guest
Under the bridge and my feet
Pass my fondest memories

I dried my alabaster
Eyes to fix in history
The heroes of the hours
That shaped my destiny

Raindrops cascade down the hill
A grey river shedding its fill

Castle built on a black cliff
Hidden by the evergreens
The slow rustle of the wind
Cradles the City of Tears
Soothing the lonely shadows
Pounding the murky arches
The symphony of echoes
Is sheltering the City of Tears

No more grist for the mill
No more salt for my grief
I face the icy fears
As they fade in the breeze
I lie down on the warm sheet
I close my heavy eyelids
And I dream without barriers
A crease appears on my cheeks

Castle built on a black cliff
Hidden by the evergreens
The slow rustle of the wind
Cradles the City of Tears
Soothing the lonely shadows
Pounding the murky arches
The symphony of echoes
Is sheltering the City of Tears

Polymorphia

I beheld the world
Through a narrow slit
From a dusty floor
That overlooks the scene

I was the misshapen ghost,
Whom history shuns,
Confined to the shadows,
Hidden from the bright suns

But the white star in the prima materia took shape,
In the canvas of the cosmos, a divine drape for the lonely souls

Polymorphia
Borrows from the almighty nature
Its original enigma,
Its magical structure

Polymorphia
In the laboratory
Feel the magma
That brings forth the majesty

The gales swept over the rafters,
The ruins bestowed the sky,
Letting the sunrays enter
Making matter volatile

The darkness became a friend,
For it no longer bit nor gnawed,
The hurting wolf was tamed,
Glorious, beneath the moon's laud

Archetypes of ancient scenes,
Emerging from my empathy,
I understand in you the mysteries,
That write the pages of myth

But the white star in the prima materia took shape,
In the canvas of the cosmos, a divine drape for the lonely souls

Polymorphia
Borrows from the almighty nature
Its original enigma,
Its magical structure

Polymorphia
In the laboratory
Feel the magma
That brings forth the majesty

HARTLIGHT - Be Blessed [OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO]

HARTLIGHT 2025-06-20 | We are happy to share a new extract from our live show at Le Gueulard Plus in Nilvange, France, on April 11th, 2025!

This time, we return to our very first EP from 2022: “From Midland and Beyond”.
Here is “Be Blessed”, a song inspired by the Conviction Arc from Kentarō Miura’s legendary manga Berserk.

In this arc, Guts and Casca reach the village of Albion, ruled by the fanatic Mozgus and his sect. A deformed infant is absorbed by an apostolic egg - an empathic demonic creature seeking connection with another rejected being. Meanwhile, the Apostles, demonic entities of the God Hand, spread chaos and terror throughout the village.

Be Blessed

To the black rock of glorious penance
The crowd gathers at the pinnacle
Who shreds, tortures and burns innocence
Fortunate to test their faith in the miracle

The brave woman stands in the mire
And suffers to support her sisters
When he defies the great cardinal
The sane world starts to fall

Be blessed for your blind devotion The church will purify your passions
Be blessed to starve for all saints "Cause greed, for evil, is a blade"

The mountain is drowned in hell
The cowardly people condemn Hélène
For the salvation of their prayers
And deceived hope immolates the worshipers

The egg on the tower cries
On this painting of the 5 crimes
He wraps the baby in his body,
Instrument of his slow agony

Be blessed for your blind devotion The church will purify your passions
Be blessed to starve for all saints "Cause greed, for evil, is a blade"

The Triumph of Metal

The voice of ancient stones echoes
In the burning flame of the present
Thousands of stars are dancing in the crucible
They are born and die in a second

I left my skin of sorrow
To the sea of salt
Truth strikes below
And reigns from above

Now feel the fight
The heart thrives
The one true self
From the sky descends
Pierce yourself
With the light
You are the grail
The Triumph of Metal

Obey your ideal of great love
Choose the struggle over stagnant rest
Be the soldier the soldier of your desires
Be the lover despising his own dead

Take the staff of wisdom
Wear the heavy crown
The loneliness is profound
But you'll light up many a dawn

To the chalice of countless horrors
You will not close your feelings
Man is a bridge to be crossed over
Become the one who offers roses

The Land of the Star

From the planets to the earth,
From the core to the universe,
Energy is everywhere
Of magic you're the heir

Make your own justice
Influence the scales
Without any malice
Perceive beyond the veil

Become the god of your tower,
For your greater glory,
You are the burning fire
Magic to victory
Like ascending thunder
You will crack the sky
To walk further and further
Beyond the land of the star

Let your vision be clear,
Like the eyes of the Eagle
The first death you must not fear,
May success be royal

Transfer to lightning,
Your ardent desires,
Induce fare reality,
Beware the blind shelter

Become the god of your tower,
For your greater glory,
You are the burning fire
Magic to victory
Like ascending thunder
You will crack the sky
To walk further and further
Beyond the land of the star

Hail to Hugin,
Hail to Mugin,
Seize your weapon
Pierce the dragon

Become the god of your tower,
For your greater glory,
You are the burning fire
Magic to victory
Like ascending thunder
You will crack the sky
To walk further and further
Beyond the land of the star

HARTLIGHT - The Scales of Rebis [OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO]

HARTLIGHT 2025-04-28 | We are happy to present the first extract of our live show at Le Gueulard Plus in Nilvange, France, on April 11th, 2025!

The first song of this show we’re sharing is “The Scales of Rebis”, from our most recent album The Triumph of Metal!
A song about the eternal struggle - chaos vs order, creation vs repetition - reaching for the moon and finally touching it.
It speaks of the feminine and masculine polarity within us, a hidden source of power that must be balanced, echoing the Rebis in alchemy: the perfect union that leads to the Philosopher’s Stone.

The Scales of Rebis

The funeral carriage
Has stopped by the altar's side,
You drank your own fears,
And raised the cup with pride

The rays of the sun
Translucent and vibrant
Are filling your grail
Now a new gushing well

For the chaos of the moonmaker,
I praise the heavenly mother,
For the golden sphere of order
I praise the earthly father

‘Cause the scales of Rebis
Order the balance
Of the force of the King
Guided by the Queen's Hand
‘Cause the scales of Rebis
Order the balance of it all
Formless monsters
Invading, the spirits are
Turning into nothingness
By the scales of the Rebis

Support your gaze,
To the insouciant Chronos,
Who makes our dreams race
Faster than the clock

Borrow from innocence,
Its disarming peace,
It will conquer death,
With the pace of bliss

Between order and chaos
You have freed the pathos
that has chained you, restless,
To the frozen necropolis

‘Cause the scales of Rebis
Order the balance
Of the force of the Queen
Guided by the King's Hand
‘Cause the scales of Rebis
Order the balance of it all
Formless monsters
Invading, the spirits are
Turning into nothingness
By the scales of the Rebis

The scales of Rebis
Order the balance

HARTLIGHT - Minds Arboretum [OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO]

HARTLIGHT 2025-02-28 | “Mind’s Arboretum” is a song from our album The Triumph of Metal!
A terrestrial and cosmic voyage, a musical bridge between the material and the volatile.
It explores the waves that flow through us, the power of cerebral connections that can be renewed and reinvented - a reminder that nothing is ever fated, and that music can be the driving force of deep, physical transformation.

Hartlight is a French symphonic metal band of IV companions, crafting music with spellbinding force. Each song is a ritual of reconnection, immersion, and transmutation - a journey through our alchemical sanctuary, carved in the poetry of power.

MIND'S ARBORETUM

Black pigments of the pen
Write on the old parchment
Vibrant dots on the stave,
From the spheres they descend

Belligerent mayhem
Clashes and aligns,
High vibrations blend,
Tremendous power climbs

With all wonders combined

Beneath the skeletal lid
The daring sapling branches
They connect and interlace
To new golden buds to raise

The cerebral spider's web
Weaves a constellation bright,
In a dusty cellar's ebb,
It purifies the stifling night

Breathe, think, exhale, rethink, drop

My perishable form,
Empty and so fleeting,
Is nourished by the warm
Light that keeps it beating

The harmony of the spheres
Bows down and conquers too
My blood is pulsing and I breath
In shades of crimson hue

Drifting above the moon

The great reality stream
Lacks its true foundation
And always strikes a deal
With the imagination

The white swan glides and sways
On the belly of the pond
The willow stretches its hair
In the rippling reflection

The note spreads out afar
And before it’s last sequence
It drowns within the blue space
In the sheer sound of silence

The co-creation of the philosopher’s stone for ‘The Triumph of Metal’

HARTLIGHT 2025-01-29 | We planned this music video months in advance because we wanted to convey a story of co-creating the Philosopher’s Stone and crafting powerful objects by hand. This ceramic egg was created with the intention and desire to share a profound experience, to express our message, and to bring something beautiful to life.

HARTLIGHT - The Triumph of Metal [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

HARTLIGHT 2025-01-24 | “The Triumph of Metal” is the very song that gave its name to the album.
An epic of courage and hope rising in the midst of darkness.
Rooted in alchemy, it tells of the quest to transcend oneself, to transmute and lighten the soul - to break free from burdens and embrace life with joyful passion.

Hartlight is a French symphonic metal band of IV companions, crafting music with spellbinding force. Each song is a ritual of reconnection, immersion, and transmutation - a path through our alchemical sanctuary, carved in the poetry of power.

THE TRIUMPH OF METAL

The voice of ancient stones echoes
In the burning flame of the present
Thousands of stars are dancing in the crucible
They are born and die in a second

I left my skin of sorrow
To the sea of salt
Truth strikes below
And reigns from above

Now feel the fight
The heart thrives
The one true self
From the sky descends
Pierce yourself
With the light
You are the grail
The Triumph of Metal

Obey your ideal of great love
Choose the struggle over stagnant rest
Be the soldier the soldier of your desires
Be the lover despising his own dead

Take the staff of wisdom
Wear the heavy crown
The loneliness is profound
But you'll light up many a dawn

To the chalice of countless horrors
You will not close your feelings
Man is a bridge to be crossed over
Become the one who offers roses

HARTLIGHT - Midnight [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

HARTLIGHT 2024-12-06 | “Midnight” is a song from our album The Triumph of Metal.
It tells of the fear of confronting your own fears - that decisive moment when you take action and watch the darkness fade.
It also speaks of the apprehension before beginning the alchemical work, the very process that brings the transformations needed for true fulfilment.

Hartlight is a French symphonic metal band of IV companions, crafting music with spellbinding force. Each song is a ritual of reconnection, immersion, and transmutation - a path through our alchemical sanctuary, carved in the poetry of power.

MIDNIGHT

Midnight is ringing
My insight is blind
Tomorrow’s afraid
To unveil its light

Dragons are growling above the warm lamp,
I grab my blade, floating in my brain,
My breath is fleeting at the seeker’s shrine
The scythe of death threatening my spine

Oh no escape, find a way, pierce it now, the fear of the dark
Divine mark, fire bite, just a fight, in the pale moonlight

The flickering halo’s devoured by gargoyles
Scattered shadows prowl the cathedral

The constant smoke escapes from the chimney
The handwritten bird language pages are inked
I seek to lift the veil of mysteries
For my mind deeper than the old sea

Oh no escape, find a way, pierce it now, the fear of the dark
Divine mark, fire bite, just a fight !
Oh ! No escape to make my way, face it now, in the dead of night
No more cries, No more lies, no more doubts, to leave behind

Rite after rite the unknown will rise
Cradle of truth, the demise of time
Fathomless cosmos will be my guide
I seek the red stone for a new life
Until it’s right for slags to die

My steps were guided by a single oath
To choose the path leading to the unknown
I transcended my flesh and my own grave
It’s time to slay the nightmare

Oh no escape, find a way, pierce it now, The fear of the dark
Divine mark, fire bite, just a fight !
Oh no escape, find a way, fight it now, in the red star light
No more cries, No more lies, no more doubts, to pass the gate of midnight
