HARTLIGHT - The City of Tears [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

“The City of Tears” is a song from our album The Triumph of Metal. 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. 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.
