Lionheart
Adamantra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

PART I:
All my sad life I have wandered on the wrong side
For such a long time in lie
Captain of misery behind the mask of haze
As sympathy of paralysed in a bed of white
Counting the sins of a lifetime

Smoke from the past dancing in vain
As children's eyes stare in the light
The sweet tending embrace of fire
Shouting "O Brother"
Hands reaching out from the cage
Can't escape the kiss of flaming horror

Greed won't let me go
Everlasting wrath in the verdict of trial
Envy in my soul
Tries to drown the seeds of the truth as a liar

The final hour flowing slowly in my glass
Burning ashes float higher
And now it's time to go
Without a lullaby
I guess there's no one to say goodbye
I die alone and fly far away
With all the lies inside me

PART II:
Awakening beyond the stars
Far away from home
A new world opens to my eyes
A figure I have seen
Long time ago O Brother
With two pure snow white doves in the sky

Brave silver arrow like lighting
And classic black force we ride
To the nightfall sunset
Together forever

Pride has let me go
Never-ending lust in my heart of fire
Freedom in my soul
Tries to raise the crown of my thorns even higher

PART III:
On a secret route to valley of the withering roses
Out from the night appears a ghost of the past in disguise
Deep through his eyes deceitful with the gaze of fear
I see the flying pictures of my victims through the time

An essence of the serpent in the face of betrayal
Reflecting from the mirror of the conscience disgraced
Fatal lies hover in the sound of untrue tales
As stigma of my children burning my heart forever

PART IV:
In captured land I'm wandering so
Lost in despair searching for
This liberty and white refuge
Will save my second life to pure my heart

Now I can see a total evil
Sinister conductor of hate
Two dark shadows behind my back
Try to avoid the finger of war
The baton of fear

PART V:
Over the bridge in the edge of waterfall
Thunder paces the rhyme of the lullaby
In secret passage beyond the gates
Of dragon's lair I step inside the dungeon

A silent cry of prisoners echoes forevermore
In my heart those lost forgotten souls
I left behind to die by false sentence of death
Still hear the moaning scars in the past
Last chance to tie an end to the slavery

"Glorious liberty
End of this tyranny
We will never ever never again
Surrender no more
The storm of freedom brings
The day of great battle
And deliverance for eternity"

PART VI:
One misty morning in the battlefield
The brothers in arms struggling with evil lords of war
He rides with the horn and blows symphony
The day of reckoning has finally come

PART VII:
A pleasant victory after a long sorrow
But not without the pain not without sacrifice
Blessing and bittersweet forgiveness of my sins

O brother turn back time and make me a child again
Try to close your eyes and dream of paradise
Far beyond the stars in a time of fairytales

I won't let you go until I'll see the light




Fly with me away to another wonderland
I can see the light…

Overall Meaning

In part one, he reflects on his past and the sins of his lifetime. The sweet tending embrace of the fire represents the temptation of sin that he could not resist despite warnings. He is trapped and cannot escape from the flaming horror. The final hour is approaching, and he knows that he has no one to say goodbye. The singer flies far away, but the lies inside him are weighing him down.


In part two, the singer wakes up beyond the stars in a new world. He meets a figure he has seen long ago, his brother, and together, they ride to the nightfall sunset with silver and black horses. Pride has let him go, and he feels freedom in his soul. In part three, the singer finds himself on a secret route to the valley of the withering roses. A ghost of the past appears in disguise, and he sees flying pictures of his victims through time.

In part seven, the singer reflects on the victory they achieved after a long sorrow. The blessing and bittersweet forgiveness of his sins feel pleasant but not without pain and sacrifice.
