Where Lovers Mourn is the first full-length album released by the band Draconian through Napalm Records on the 20 October 2003. It was recorded and produced at Studio Mega by Chris Silver and Draconian in June 2003.
Most of the songs in this album are new and enhanced versions for songs Draconian had previously written for its demoes and EPs, mainly for "Dark Oceans We Cry" and "Frozen Features".
The first song, "The Cry of Silence", is the longest on the album and is considered as one of Draconian's best songs. The song features a choir, along with Anders' growlings (main singing style), speech and Lisa's vocals. It describes a man who wishes to "die in silence", a theme which is also present in "The Solitude".

Famous quotes containing the words lovers and/or mourn:
“You ask what I have found and far and wide I go,
Nothing but Cromwell’s house and Cromwell’s murderous crew,
The lovers and the dancers are beaten into the clay,
And the tall men and the swordsmen and the horsemen where are they?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Joys as winged dreams fly fast,
Why should sadness longer last?
Grief is but a wound to woe;
Gentlest fair, mourn, mourn no moe.”
—John Fletcher (1579–1625)
