Dago
Casus Belli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blood of the giants runs in his veins
Mother gave way to him on this world
The outset of new splendid legend
The fairest hair around his face
Beautiful, healthy, strong body
Surrounded with dwarfs, brought up by the- dwarfs
The seven summers passed fast
Child in Black Forest, alone
Fear, darkness, Nature and strength
Wolves and the forest demons around him
Slavic God of Fire protected him
Then fear he defeated,
His place in the house was restored
Yet that wasn't his own people
But Destiny came to him
Giantess of untold beauty
Became his lover and mother
She shaped and guided his fate
Yearning to act - this lethal sickness
Drove him to the adventure
The only cure for despair
Are the praiseworthy deeds
Is he a dwarf? Or is he a giant?
Your value is proven by you
The life-goal is to be in power
For power is sweeter than honey
More pleasant than her bosom
Shall you known its secrets
The power is by your side
The lyrics of Casus Belli's song "Dago" tell the epic story of a hero who was born from rape, but whose destiny was shaped by his mother, a giantess of untold beauty who became his lover and guide. Dago was born with the blood of giants running through his veins and was raised by dwarfs, who surrounded him with love and care. He grew up as the fairest-haired and strongest-bodied among his people and had no equal to him.
As a child, Dago was alone and afraid in the Black Forest, where he had to face fearsome creatures like wolves and forest demons. But he was protected by the Slavic God of Fire, who gave him the courage and strength to overcome his fears and reclaim his place in his house. However, he soon realized that his destiny lay beyond his people, and he ventured forth into the world to seek his true calling.
Dago's journey takes him on an adventure of self-discovery and valor, where he proves his worth as a true hero. He realizes that his life goal is to be in power, and that the only way to achieve that is through praiseworthy deeds. The song ends with the realization that power is by his side, waiting for him to claim it.
