A Bolder Race
Blodulv Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Of wolfen dynasty and devil wings
Their icy blade draws blood
Drains this dying vessel
Beastly curse awakened

The crack of two fold demon whips
Tears the surface of the soul
Fall into ruthless maiming disorder

Succumb to the murderous drug of war

Relentless pounding in mind so frail
Words of wisdom, poetry ablaze
The black serpents doom, lurking ever near

Satan's firstborn, the bolder race
Burns through this torrent of disgust
Unquenchable this thirst for death
Hunts as one, the minions of dark

A bolder race
Pale as the new snow

Erasing the past
Burning the books

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blodulv's song "A Bolder Race" are filled with vivid imagery and metaphorical language, illustrating a world ruled by a brutal and merciless group of beings. The opening lines describe these creatures as having a "wolfen dynasty" and "devil wings," wielding an "icy blade" that draws blood and drains the "dying vessel" of their victims. The image of a "beastly curse awakened" suggests that these beings are not fully human, or at least not fully bound by the rules and morals of human society.

The second verse presents an even more ruthless picture of this society, with the "crack of two fold demon whips" tearing into the souls of those who are subjected to their power. The idea of "ruthless maiming disorder" and "the murderous drug of war" suggest that violence is not just accepted but actively glorified in this world. The singer, sounding both overwhelmed and fascinated by the power of these beings, seems to be warning us of the dangers of giving in to the temptations of violence and conquest.

The final lines of the song highlight the danger of this way of life, with the "minions of dark" hunting as one in a brutal and relentless pursuit of death. The image of a "bolder race" that "erases the past" and "burns the books" suggests a society that has no use for history, culture, or learning--only for conquest and domination. The song serves as a stark warning of the danger of giving in to our most violent and aggressive impulses, and of the need for wisdom and restraint in the face of power.
