The Battle
Doppio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flood my senses' deep devotion, deflated but not yet gone
The Clarion calls, the first few golden rays reveal the misty morn
And all that kept sweet solitude beholds a new day born
The careless notes of the walking lark fall with gentle scorn upon your ears
And who's the lone rider, silhouetted by the rising sun?
Yonder on the distant horizon?
Now sleeps the lonely owl, now wakes the swan
Now gone, now gone
And overhead, what proud eagle lights across the western sky?
Leads my heavy thoughts through the endless halls of time
A distant memory floats below the clouded, hazy sun
A dream unfulfilled escapes
The Battle, not yet begun.

Line by Line Meaning
Endless waves of emotion ride me into dawn
I am overwhelmed by my feelings and they keep me up until morning
Flood my senses' deep devotion, deflated but not yet gone
My strong passion for something has decreased, but it still lingers
The Clarion calls, the first few golden rays reveal the misty morn
The trumpet sounds and the sun begins to rise, revealing a foggy morning
And all that kept sweet solitude beholds a new day born
Everything that found peace in being alone witnesses the start of a new day
The careless notes of the walking lark fall with gentle scorn upon your ears
The bird's happy song seems mocking to someone who is sad
And who's the lone rider, silhouetted by the rising sun?
Who is the person riding alone that is outlined by the rising sun?
Yonder on the distant horizon?
Over there on the far horizon?
Now sleeps the lonely owl, now wakes the swan
The owl is asleep while the swan begins to move, signifying a change
The candle burning hope through the restless night now gone
The flame representing hope that burned the whole night is now extinguished
Now gone, now gone
It is now completely out, no longer providing light
And overhead, what proud eagle lights across the western sky?
What majestic bird is soaring above in the western sky?
Leads my heavy thoughts through the endless halls of time
My burdensome thoughts are transported through the infinite passageways of time
A distant memory floats below the clouded, hazy sun
A far-off recollection drifts under the obscured and cloudy sun
A dream unfulfilled escapes
A desire that was not realized slips away
The Battle, not yet begun.
The fight has not yet started.
