Song help.

The song is Dark Wings Dark Words by Hammerfall.

A graven image shattered
The meltdown of our wonderland
As the sun rise(d?) slowly
We try(tried?) to understand

A sacred hearth lost prosperity
But we found our way back home
From dusk came clarity

Heed the seven signs
When sun and moon unite
Fear the dark-winged messenger
Dread his darkened words

I don't understand several things here,and the Internet is no help,because the lyrics there are written by someone with even worse English than mine.The things are:
1:Darkened words? Does "darkened" have some other meaning than "made dark"?
2:The correct choise of tense where I put the brackets."Rised" can be heard clearly,but "rise" is an irregular verb! In the lyrics I found the two lines are written in the present tense, but the whole song-in the past.

  • Polish translation, please

    A coworker gave my dad this bottle of vodka (it has grass in it!), and I'm dying to know what the text says. Can anyone help?

  • Swedish - word usage

    Two questions for speakers of Swedish: - Trygghet: I've seen it translated as "security, safety, confidence, certainty, trust".…

  • some Arabic (?) phrases

    These are from a novel from Philip Roth. I'm sure the author doesn't speak Arabic, so presumably he had somebody to translate and transliterate…
