Remember the Fire
Galloglass Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

After the smoke has left
And the fire has burned down
He leaves his hideaway
And through ashes he goes
There are just ruins left
What once was his realm
He falls on his knees
And raises his hands up high

I will remember the fire
Day of the dragon's feast
I will remember the fire
I seek to kill the beast

His burden he will bear
Oh dragon, beware of him
He will hunt you down
And for the search he leaves
For his hordes you've killed
He demands you to pay
And for the blood you've spilled
He'll strike your life away

I will remember the fire
Day of the dragons feast
I will remember the fire
I seek to kill the beast

Walking a thousand miles
Through forests, fens and thorns
Hate is gnawing at his soul
As he inquires on
How far he has to go
Will his search never end?
Until his last breath's done
He's searching on and on

I will remember the fire
Day of the dragons feast




I will remember the fire
I seek to kill the beast

Line by Line Meaning

After the smoke has left
Once the destruction and chaos has settled


And the fire has burned down
After the flames have died and the ashes remain


He leaves his hideaway
Emerging from his place of safety or shelter


And through ashes he goes
Walking through the remains of what he once knew


There are just ruins left
Only remnants of what was once there


What once was his realm
Where he once belonged and felt at home


He falls on his knees
Overwhelmed with grief and despair


And raises his hands up high
Pleading for help or solutions


I will remember the fire
I will never forget the destruction


Day of the dragon's feast
A day of celebration for those who caused the destruction


I seek to kill the beast
I will seek revenge against those responsible


His burden he will bear
He will carry the weight of vengeance and justice


Oh dragon, beware of him
Those responsible for the destruction should be afraid of his wrath


He will hunt you down
He will not stop until he brings justice


And for the search he leaves
He will put aside everything else to pursue justice


For his hordes you've killed
He seeks justice for all those who have been wronged


He demands you to pay
He seeks compensation for the damage that has been done


And for the blood you've spilled
He seeks justice for those who have been killed


He'll strike your life away
He seeks to bring justice by ending those responsible


Walking a thousand miles
He will go to great lengths to seek justice


Through forests, fens and thorns
Through difficult and dangerous terrain


Hate is gnawing at his soul
His desire for revenge is consuming him


As he inquires on
As he continues to search and seek justice


How far he has to go
How much more he must endure to achieve justice


Will his search never end?
Will he ever be able to find justice and closure


Until his last breath's done
He will never stop seeking justice as long as he lives

Strange. This song sounds much different playing from my phone as an alarm. There is a little dissonance here that I do not like that much.
