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:
“A woman’s beauty is a storm-tossed banner;
Under it wisdom stands, and I alone
Of all Arabia’s lovers I alone
Nor dazzled by the embroidery, nor lost
In the confusion of its night-dark folds,
Can hear the armed man speak.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“It is the blight man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
