Arise
Fuimadane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For after a thousand years
The seed of the Tree that was hewn
Has taken root and Sprouted
Arise
For though your kinsmen stand strong in The shield wall,
Arise
For the wights of field, stream, and Stone
Seek to reforge the bonds that have long been broken
Arise
For a thousand generations of Ancestors
Stand firmly behind you
Throughout every success and failure
Arise
For the gods have sounded their Call across the worlds
And you Have heard it deep within your Heart
Arise.
The song "Arise" by Fuimadane begins with a powerful message about the hope that exists for humanity despite centuries of struggle. The first verse speaks of a "seed" that has been planted and is now "sprouting" after a "thousand years." This line is likely a metaphor for the resilience of the human spirit and the fact that no matter how long we have been oppressed or struggled, we can always find a way to rise again.
The second verse is a call to action for the listener. The singer implores their "kinsmen" to join them in battle, reminding them that even with a "shield wall," they will need more "might" to win. The third verse continues the theme of unity, calling on the forces of nature to "reforge the bonds that have long been broken." In this way, the song suggests that humanity can only succeed if we come together and work towards a common goal.
The fourth verse acknowledges the power of our ancestors, declaring that "a thousand generations" stand behind us through all of our successes and failures. The final verse brings in the theme of spirituality, suggesting that the gods have called upon the listener to rise up and take action. The repetition of the word "arise" throughout the song acts as a powerful motivator, driving home the idea that there is always hope for a better future if we are willing to fight for it.

When you wanna be a shaman but you also wanna rave.

@jamesosullivan532
This comment is seriously a mood. Some of the music hypes me up so much I wanna walk around with a shield over my shoulder (not even the weapon as much lol) and jam to this kinda stuff, only to see my pudge self in the mirror reminding me I’m a healer not a fighter XD
@freyalydia
I feel the urge to dance barefoot in the forest, every time I hear this song. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to do so. Thank you for your music! 🖤

This song is amazing! Very well captivates the revival of heathenry around the world. Odin and the others are smiling down upon you Jon!
@JoshuaBFishing
To say this track is fire would be a cold understatement. Love it, heart and soul.

This is one of the greatest tracks ever! I listen to it during work and not much else gets as ired up as this (also set it as my alarm clock).
