Through the Fire and Flames
DragonForce Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign, we ride towards the fight
When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell, bodies wasted on the shores
On the blackest plains in hell's domain, we watch them as they go
In fire and pain, now once again, we know

So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness, our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away, we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment in their eyes
Running back through the mid-morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land
To a life beyond the stars

In your darkest dreams see to believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation, now the time has gone
Lost inside, you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

So far away, we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on

Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard, now can we understand?
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

So far away, we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone




We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames, we carry on

Line by Line Meaning

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
During a winter morning, before the sun has risen


In flames of death's eternal reign, we ride towards the fight
We are headed towards battle, ready for death and destruction to rule


When the darkness has fallen down, and the times are tough all right
In times when things seem to be at their worst, darkness surrounds us


The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight
Laughter that sounds wicked and malevolent echoes around the world tonight


Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel, through the wastelands evermore
We're fighting on with determination, for the sake of steel and through barren, desolate wastelands


The scattered souls will feel the hell, bodies wasted on the shores
Souls will suffer, and their bodies will be left strewn along the shorelines in defeat


On the blackest plains in hell's domain, we watch them as they go
We observe our enemies as they make their way across the darkest, most demonic lands


In fire and pain, now once again, we know
Once more, we are painfully aware of the fire and pain that surrounds us


So now we fly ever free
We become free, as we fly


We're free before the thunderstorm
We're experiencing freedom even as a storm rages around us


On towards the wilderness, our quest carries on
We continue our journey towards the unknown, our mission still in progress


Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Going beyond what is commonly known, beyond daylight and moonlit skies


Deep inside our hearts and all our souls
Our hearts and souls hold something profound and fervent


So far away, we wait for the day
We remain extremely detached, anticipating a day of change


For the lives all so wasted and gone
Thinking about the lives that have been lost or taken away from us


We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
The agony of a permanent loss that feels like it has lasted an eternity


Through the fire and the flames, we carry on
And yet despite everything, we still persevere


As the red day is dawning
The beginning of a day full of bloodshed and destruction


And the lightning cracks the sky
The sky is pierced by bolts of lightning


They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
They will lift their hands up towards the high heavens


With resentment in their eyes
Their eyes reflect feelings of anger and bitterness


Running back through the mid-morning light
Returning in the twilight hours of dawn


There's a burning in my heart
I feel an intense passion or emotion within myself


We're banished from a time in a fallen land
Cast away from a time in a land that has lost its greatness


To a life beyond the stars
To a life that goes far beyond what we can imagine


In your darkest dreams see to believe
The most impossible things become real in your worst nightmares


Our destiny this time
This time, our fate is already sealed


And endlessly we'll all be free tonight
We will live without any constraints or limitations, into the endless night


And on the wings of a dream, so far beyond reality
We dream of soaring towards a place that is impossible to define through reality


All alone in desperation, now the time has gone
Now, time has passed and we are alone and in despair


Lost inside, you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Unable to find what was once lost inside, stranded in my own mind


Day after day this misery must go on
Prolonged pain and distress continues day after day, with no end in sight


Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We currently stand guilt-ridden with the blood of others on our hands


We fought so hard, now can we understand?
Now that we have emerged victorious from the battle, will we have a chance to comprehend?


I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
I will attempt to break the curse that shackles us


For freedom of every man
This is for the freedom of every single human being

On a cold winter morning
In the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign
We ride towards the fight

When the darkness has fallen down
And the times are tough alright
The sound of evil laughter falls
Around the world tonight

Fighting hard, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the hell
Bodies wasted on the shores

On the blackest plains in Hell's domain
We watch them as they go
Through the fire and pain and once again we know

So now we fly ever free
We're free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness
Our quest carries on

Far beyond the sundown
Far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They'll raise their hands to the heavens above
With resentment in their eyes

Running back through the mid morning light
There's a burning in my heart
We're banished from a time in a fallen land
To a life beyond the stars

In your darkest dreams see to believe
Our destiny is time
And endlessly we'll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream
So far beyond reality
All alone in desperation
Now the time has gone

Lost inside you'll never find
Lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Woah, woah, whoah
Woah, woah, whoah

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard, now can we understand
I'll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

So far away we wait for the day
For the lives all so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on

Then you practice a bit more.
No one is saying that you can only become a rock-musician if you're below a certain age.

I mean... Look at Christopher Lee and the current Pope.
Both of the made Metal and rock albums in their 70s-80s

And those are some bangers!

I plan on becoming one of the best comic-con Jrock cover players.
And I'm 35. xD
