The Dark Elf
Blind Guardian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in his throne
A new star awaits its birth
A dark elf, so blind
And too weak, too weak to see the light
In this verse from Blind Guardian's song The Dark Elf, we are presented with a character who is corrupted by evil. The throne mentioned here represents authority, and the fact that the seed of evil has grown in it implies that this character has fallen to temptation by using their power for wrongdoings. However, even as they strive towards greater authority and control, they remain ignorant to the consequences of their actions. They are so blinded by their thirst for power that they fail to see the light - the opportunity to make the right choice and turn away from evil.
The second line speaks of a new star awaiting its birth, which could represent the possibility for redemption or a new beginning. However, this is overshadowed by the dark elf's corruption and subsequent inability to see the light. Overall, this verse speaks of the danger of power and how it can lead one down a destructive path, blinding them to what is truly important.
