The Batllefield Caliing My Name
Dark Nightmare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sands of time are running low we are ready for attack
I see the silent faces of my brothers awaiting
to hear the sign...
The battlefield- it calls my name
Lifeless bodies- they show me the way
I'm standing wakeful in the line of death
Running in the mud and snow to escape from the bombs
My life passes before my eyes and eternity is close
I'm searching somewere for a refuge to breath again and pray
I am still alive...
The lyrics of Dark Nightmare's "The Battlefield Calling My Name" tell the story of an unnamed soldier who finds himself in the midst of a battle. The talisman of his mother is held tightly in his hands as he prepares for the impending attack. The soldier can feel that time is running low as he looks around and sees the stern expressions of his fellow soldiers, awaiting the "sign" to begin the fight. The call of the battlefield is strong, and the soldier feels it more acutely than ever. He knows that death is close, and yet he also knows that this is where he belongs - on the front lines, fighting for what he believes in.
As the battle rages on, the soldier finds himself running in the mud and snow, desperate to escape the bombs that are exploding all around him. At this moment, his life flashes before his eyes, and he realizes that eternity is near. Despite this, he continues to push forward, searching for some kind of refuge where he can catch his breath and pray. In the end, he survives, having come face-to-face with death and emerged victorious.
Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on the nature of war, and the sacrifices that soldiers must make in order to defend their country and their way of life. It is a reminder that war is not just about politics and strategy, but also about the human cost of conflict.

Απλά με διαφορά η καλύτερη Ελληνική Εpic Heavy μπάντα! Απόλυτα αδικημένη από μερίδα των "Ψαγμένων Ελλήνων Επικομετταλάδων" που δήθεν γουστάρουν μόνο true επικο-καφρο-αρκουδο-metal και στην ουσία δεν ξέρουν ούτε ποιος παίζει κιθάρα στην αγαπημένη τους μπάντα! (όποιος κατάλαβε, κατάλαβε) Πραγματικά κρίμα γιατί η μπάντα εκπέμπει Μεγαλείο! Συνεχίστε έτσι Αδέρφια!
