Lord of the Realm
Axehammer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"When you walk through the valley
of the shadows
You'll come across and do battle
With the lord of the realm!"

The time is right
To stand up and fight
Against the lord of the realm
So draw your blade of stand aside
Do not try to hide
Run for your life
'Cause he's got the night
You can't seem to get away
But if you try to run from him
He'll cut you down just the same
Born to fight with all your might
Against the lord of the realm
You can't see what it's got to be
Fighting it out with the lord

You're riding through the black forest
You came across his home
He'll try to get the best from you
You overtake his throne
Move to the left, step to the right
You'll feel him standing there
He'll cut you down with lightning speed
When you're on your own
Born to fight with all your might
Against the lord of the realm
You can't see what it's got to be
Fighting it out with the lord

Realm

Born to fight with all your might
Against the lord of the realm
You can't see what it's got to be
Fighting it out with the lord

Realm

The time is right
To stand up and fight
Against the lord of the realm
So draw your blade of stand aside
Do not try to hide
Run for your life
'Cause he's got the night
You can't seem to get away
But if you try to run from him
He'll cut you down just the same
Born to fight with all your might
Against the lord of the realm
You can't see what it's got to be
Fighting it out with the lord

Fighting it out with the lord
With the lord

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Axehammer's song Lord of the Realm depict a story of a battle against an all-powerful and cruel ruler. The singer faces the lord of the realm in a valley of shadows and knows that it's the right time to stand up and fight. The lyrics describe the sense of urgency and the need to overcome the fear of the unbeatable ruler who can cut you down with lightning speed. The song warns that running away from him is not an option, and the only recourse is to face him head-on, drawing your blade and standing aside.


The second verse of the song describes riding through the black forest and coming across the home of the Lord of the Realm. He is waiting there and will try to get the best from you, but the lyrics exotify the battle, where the singer moves to the left and steps to the right, evading the Lord's strikes. Nonetheless, you keep feeling his presence until he finally catches you, and you have to face him, knowing that the ultimate contest will ensue. The chorus reinforces the message of the song, that you're born to fight with all your might against the lord of the realm, and there's no escape from the battle.


Overall, Lord of the Realm is a power metal song that uses the metaphor of fighting against evil to showcase the power of the genre. It calls for a battle that one cannot avoid and highlights the importance of courage and bravery in the face of fear.
