The Glory Anthem
Archontes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tomorrow is my destiny
Today is my cross
Yesterday is gone with the time
It's just a death in Dreamgard
And now I'm just an old Bard
Hands forgot fury of fight
But I know that changes are coming
Coz' I've got back my mind

I'll shake off the dust of time
And I'll raise my sword
It's time, come to my side
And swear to me the oath
And thousand banners unfold
The Heroes of Past will bring
And Legions of warriors
The glory anthem will sing

I was born in another land
Insane and dark is that place
I was born with armor and sword
And Death was my first teacher
I was taught to be a God
But I'm not Master of slaves
And I rebelled, but they shackled me
And took away my own face

But essence returned to me
I'm raising my sword
It's time, so I see
Hurry to swear the oath
And thousand...

I swear your memory won't die
It shall live forever
Your kids shall be proud of you
Come to me, ye free children of Earth
Hand by hand, steel by steel, together till the end
Fire's low, night's almost over
But ale still flows free
The song's still in the air
Look, sky's filling with blood




Look, look your best
Maybe this is your last sunrise

Line by Line Meaning

Tomorrow is my destiny
I am destined to move forward towards tomorrow


Today is my cross
The present is a challenge that I must bear


Yesterday is gone with the time
The past is gone with time and cannot be brought back


It's just a death in Dreamgard
The past is like a death in a dreamy garden


And now I'm just an old Bard
I am now an aged storyteller


Hands forgot fury of fight
My hands have forgotten the rage of battle


But I know that changes are coming
I am aware that changes are imminent


Coz' I've got back my mind
Because I have regained my consciousness


I'll shake off the dust of time
I will shed off the dust accumulated over time


And I'll raise my sword
I will take up my weapon


It's time, come to my side
It's time for you to stand by my side


And swear to me the oath
And make a solemn promise to me


And thousand banners unfold
And thousands of flags unfurl


The Heroes of Past will bring
The heroes of the past shall arrive


And Legions of warriors
And armies of fighters


The glory anthem will sing
Will sing the anthem of glory


I was born in another land
I was born in a foreign land


Insane and dark is that place
That place was crazy and dark


I was born with armor and sword
I was born with weapons and protective gear


And Death was my first teacher
My first lesson was from death


I was taught to be a God
I was trained to become a god-like figure


But I'm not Master of slaves
But I am not a controller of slaves


And I rebelled, but they shackled me
And when I revolted, they put me in chains


And took away my own face
And they robbed me of my identity


But essence returned to me
But my core beliefs came back to me


I'm raising my sword
I am lifting my weapon


It's time, so I see
I can see that it's time


Hurry to swear the oath
Quickly make the promise


And thousand...
And thousands...


I swear your memory won't die
I promise to keep your memory alive


It shall live forever
It will exist forever


Your kids shall be proud of you
Your children will be proud of you


Come to me, ye free children of Earth
Come to me, people who belong to the Earth


Hand by hand, steel by steel, together till the end
We will stay united, fighting together till the very end


Fire's low, night's almost over
The fire is dying down, and the night is nearly finished


But ale still flows free
But beer is still being served


The song's still in the air
The music is still floating in the atmosphere


Look, sky's filling with blood
Look, the sky is getting red with bloodshed


Look, look your best
Look and be at your best


Maybe this is your last sunrise
Perhaps this will be the last time you'll see the sun rising

Мне по очень старой памяти с этого альбома дорого только интро, да и то в нем пару аккордов. Но дороги. Потому что музыка приобретает значение отразив в себе тебя. Так ты запоминать вернее.
