Zeche, Bochum/Germany May 25th, 2014 (Fan Recording) Our most famous ballad in KROKUS history, Screaming In The Night was the #1 song of KROKUS in the USA - in December 2012 a radio station in Kansas had fans vote the 100 Top Songs Ever (which they played then on New Years eve). Our fans called in so many times that this song ended up being the #1 song Fan Favorite Marc Storace has been asked many times what the lyrics are all about and here is his answer (for more FAQ, go to krokusonline > Fan Club > F.A.Q.): “Screaming in the Night” is a fantasy story inspired by ancient myths and legends. VERSE 1: Two tribes at war. A brave warrior in captivity experiences loneliness, torture, frustration and humiliation. During this time, he discovers a plot of betrayal. His captivity had been planned by a jealous and devious so-called friend, who sought to get rid of him, so as to possess his beautiful wife. VERSE 2: One night he is rescued by loyal comrades, and they sail away “..into the dark” under cover of darkness, on a perilous voyage back home. “The gate was getting rusty..” , symbolizes the passing of time. They used “The stars were out and shining..” for navigation. “..a moonlit ark”, was their sailing ship. “The wolves..out and howling” describe an eerie gauntlet to freedom, through enemy territory. “I was cold and shivering..”, he was weak, cold and feverish, experiencing traumatic nightmares. CHORUS: In the morning his heart is filled with the joy of knowing that he will very soon be reunited with the woman he loves, and feels thankful for the loyalty of his own people, for whom he had nearly died, and who bravely came his rescue! VERSE 3: “In a corner of the valley..”, the enemy eventually invaded their shores, but quick and clever retaliation drove them back into the sea. “..dagger through her heart”, behind the noise and turmoil of the ensuing battle, the traitor came out of hiding, and sneaking unseen into the village, killed the woman that he could not have! “..I swore to be avenged!”, returning from victory, our crying hero passionately lifts his slain lover into his strong arms and swears that justice will be done!
