Shadowlands
Axehammer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dancing round the fire
To replace a king
Moving through the darkness
Like you've never seen

Do you feel it in the night
Something's moving
Like a candle burning bright
Don't let the gloom in
Oh oh oh oh shadowlands

Spirits all around you
Taking your breath away
Moving in to take you
At the break of day

Can you feel it in the night
Always moving
Burn your candle late at night
They can't get in
Oh oh oh oh shadowlands

The faces that haunt you
Coming in the night
Demons there upon you
Staying out of sight

Do you see them in the night
Moving all around you
Come to take your soul at night




Don't you let go
Oh oh oh oh shadowlands

Overall Meaning

"Shadowlands" by Axehammer is a song about the world of darkness and the supernatural. The lyrics describe the experience of being in a place of shadows and spirits, where one feels their presence and moves among them. The opening lines, "Dancing round the fire, to replace a king" suggest that this is a ritual, perhaps a ceremony to honor or appease the spirits of the land or ancestors.


As the song continues, the lyrics become more ominous, warning of the danger of the spirits that surround the singer. The lines "Can you feel it in the night, always moving, burn your candle late at night, they can't get in" suggest that the spirits are always there, waiting, but can be kept at bay by the light of a candle. The repeated refrain of "Oh oh oh oh shadowlands" creates a sense of foreboding, as though the singer is caught in a trap they cannot escape.


Overall, the lyrics of "Shadowlands" create a haunting picture of a world beyond our own, full of spirits and demons that are both fascinating and terrifying.

Without a doubt the most intense - back n forth battle i've seen on youtube, must feel hella nice.
Congrats.

@BajheeraWoW

As you guys are mentioning this war WAS before the update & it was EPIC! :D
Looking forward to more insane battles like this in the future :)

@Jekiboi

Share your weapon skill for axe and hammer, thanks!

@g0ds0fm3tal

Have you had one post fix? My server is low pop and we still haven’t had a war in fear of it being bad still

@Audio041194

Maybe on day if we are ever on the same server we may find ourselves in the same war. It would be pretty cool to even say to my friends you mopped me up during a whole war!

@eslijr

In so many years... I've never seen Bahjeera so tense in a battle like this. Always cleaning up opponents calmly. lol

@verdibahnsen

Yo Baj, not sure if you’ve done this anywhere but could you provide a guide on what your companies strategy is on offence? Just watching it looks like you have a focus on targeting their heals and winning the skirmishes to push up their respawn timers and allow a more organic capture of the point.

@shadowhalo24

Great vid, Baj. What's your current PC build look like?
My jaw physically dropped when I saw you fighting on a Flag and not dropping frames/suffering from input lag/all your abilities going where you intended. Your war gameplay is smoother than my OPR gameplay!
If I even go NEAR flag in war, input lag takes over and it's a crap shoot whether or not I get any abilities/attacks off, let alone survive. Same with trying to cap a point in OPR, once there's more than a few people my game goes off the rails.

@xXSinForLifeXx

That backline destruction at the start and during the war is crazy. My favourite thing in was is just destroying the backline. 😂😂

Your guild seems to be pretty organised with getting the backline and hammer spamming point.

@g0ds0fm3tal

Man we had a war yesterday and another today, it’s like a slideshow to everyone, the whole server has a cease fire cause it’s so laggy, how’s your wars lookin smooth still
