Kings Who Die
Galloglass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where mighty names remain
Born to immortality
And overcome the sea of oblivion
With a crown on the head
They will lift the mourning veil
With a crown on the head
Admired and lifted to the sky
Their flame of live will die
Chosen to be kings
When they spread their wings
Kings who die
Although they live on forever
Souls drifting into the never
They´ll last on forever
The kings who die
Songs of wisdom and brave hearts
Of great legends sang by the bards
We´ll never forget when they are gone
Immortal for the work they have done
Kings who die
Although they live on forever
Souls drifting into the never
They´ll last on forever
Oh, kings who die
Kings who die
Although they live on forever
Souls drifting into the never
They´ll last on forever
Oh, kings who die
The lyrics of Galloglass's song "Kings Who Die" describe the concept of immortality through memory and the importance of leaving a powerful legacy behind. The first two lines of the song mention those who have been "selected for eternity," indicating those who have done something significant enough to be remembered forever. These people are the "mighty names" who have "born to immortality," who have overcome the "sea of oblivion." This line could be interpreted as the idea that most people are forgotten after they die, but those who have an impact in the world will leave a lasting impact that ensures they are not forgotten.
The next two lines describe the moment when these powerful people die, but their legacy lives on in the memories of others. They are lifted up and remembered even after death, and it is their accomplishments and impact that make this possible.
The third and fourth lines of the first verse describe how these people are admired and raised up into the sky for their greatness, but their "flame of life" will eventually go out. However, despite their death, they are chosen to be kings and will be remembered forever. The final line of the verse, "when they spread their wings," could be interpreted as when they metaphorically spread their influence and impact, leaving their mark on the world.
The chorus repeats the idea that these kings live on forever despite their death. Songs of wisdom and bravery are sung about them, and they will never be forgotten because of the work they have done. The second and third verses continue this theme, emphasizing the importance of leaving behind a powerful legacy.
Overall, "Kings Who Die" is a song about the importance of making a lasting impact in the world and being remembered forever. It is about how even though death is inevitable, one can achieve a form of immortality through their actions and the memories they leave behind.
