Storm
Dave Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It brings along odor that will make you faint
Stench of the dead on the theatre of war
Has not let nobody be carefree so far
Fight for salvation has lasted a while
And looks like it carries on for a long time
Killing the warriors who came here for glory
Fear has no power
All spirits are high
If death runs us over
No need for good bye
Grim reaper old-timer
Will gather our souls
A lifetime is over
Earth takes back the bones
A battle is held between rivalling tribes
For honor and fortune have men left their wives
Lust for destruction has confused their minds
Changed into monsters they don't want to be
The struggle is even and no one can tell
A figure of saying for whom the bell tolls
No one has come here to let themselves die
A side of the winners is the ultimate goal
Fear has no power
All spirits are high
If death runs us over
No need for good bye
Grim reaper old-timer
Will gather our souls
A lifetime is over
Earth takes back the bones
Fear has no power
All spirits are high
If death runs us over
No need for good bye
Grim reaper old-timer
Will gather our souls
A lifetime is over
Earth takes back the bones
The lyrics in Dave Pearce's song "Storm" depict a vivid portrayal of a raging conflict, emphasizing the destructive nature of war and the resilience of the human spirit. The storm serves as a metaphor for the chaos and turmoil brought on by battle, not only physically but emotionally as well.
The opening lines, "Blowing so strongly, the storm makes a point / It brings along odor that will make you faint," suggest that the storm represents the grim reality of war. The stench of death permeates the air, creating an atmosphere of fear and unease. The reference to the "theatre of war" implies that this conflict has been ongoing for some time, leaving a lasting impact on those involved.
The lyrics also touch upon the notion of glory and sacrifice. The line "Killing the warriors who came here for glory / Lets hope someone lives through to retell the story" highlights the unfortunate reality of war, where lives are lost and only a few survivors may remain to recount the horrors they have witnessed. Despite the darkness and uncertainty, the song conveys a sense of unity and resilience among the fighters, with the repeated chorus proclaiming that fear has no power and spirits remain high even in the face of death.
Overall, "Storm" paints a somber picture of war and its consequences while emphasizing the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
