Slayer's Blade
Attacker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I turn around, it's so unreal
Dreadful sight, bloodstained steel
Reality begins to fade
All i see is slayer's blade
A warrior who feats on doom
Gathers darkness provokes gloom
Hang 'em high on gallow's pole
Slayer's blade will take your soul

Somehow i feel i don't belong
Hauntingly he chants his song
Dead soldiers in the field
Slayer's blade will not yield

A warrior who feats on doom
Gathers darkness provokes gloom




Hang 'em high on gallow's pole
Slayer's blade will take your soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics describe the feeling of not belonging, as if the slayer's blade and the warrior wielding it didn't belong to the same world.


The second verse continues to describe the dread of encountering the slayer's blade as it relentlessly cuts through its enemies with the dead soldiers in the field bearing witness to its power. The song concludes with a final warning about the slayer's blade taking the soul of whoever crosses its path. The song is a warning against the dangers of instruments of war and the horrors of battlefields.
