War of Wrath
Blind Guardian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything is lost
The black one has fallen from the sky and the towers in ruins lie
The enemy is within, everywhere
And with him the light, soon they will be here
Go now, my lord, while there is time
There are places below
I release thee, go
My servant you'll be for all time
As you command
My king
I had a part in everything
Twice I destroyed the light and twice I failed
I left ruin behind me when I returned
But I also carried ruin with me
She, the mistress of her own lust
The lyrics of Blind Guardian's song War Of Wrath tell a story of a battle that has been lost. The field has fallen, and everything has been destroyed, including the towers that once stood tall. The enemy is now everywhere, and the light is fading, with darkness soon to follow. The singer is advising their lord to go while there is still time, as there are safe places beneath the earth that they are aware of. The singer then releases their lord, who they will serve for eternity.
However, there is a twist in the story. The singer confesses that they had a part in everything, destroying the light twice and leaving ruin in their wake. But they also carried ruin with them. The final line of "She, the mistress of her own lust" is a hint at their true identity - they are Sauron, the main antagonist of The Lord of the Rings. The lyrics allude to the moment when Sauron was defeated and cast down, forced to flee and hide while his dark power continued to grow.
Overall, the lyrics of War Of Wrath are evocative and dark, perfectly capturing the mood of the battle and the events that have led up to this point.
Line by Line Meaning
The field is lost
The battle is over and we've lost
Everything is lost
We've lost everything including our possessions, wealth, and lives
The black one has fallen from the sky and the towers in ruins lie
Our leader is dead, and the buildings around us are destroyed
The enemy is within, everywhere
There are traitors among us, and they're everywhere
And with him the light, soon they will be here
Our leader's death has caused the light of hope to extinguish, and our enemies will soon arrive
Go now, my lord, while there is time
Escape while you still have the chance, my lord
There are places below
There are underground hideouts that we can go to
And you know them too
You are aware of these safe places
I release thee, go
I free you from your duties, go
My servant you'll be for all time
You will forever remain my servant
As you command
I'll do as you say
My king
You are my king and my ruler
I had a part in everything
I was involved in everything that has happened so far
Twice I destroyed the light and twice I failed
I caused the hope and goodness to diminish twice, but I couldn't succeed in killing it completely
I left ruin behind me when I returned
Everywhere I've been, I've destroyed things and left behind chaos and destruction
But I also carried ruin with me
I am also responsible for the mess in my own life
She, the mistress of her own lust
She is the one who indulges in physical pleasure on her own terms and doesn't follow anyone's rules
