Excalibur
Helium Vola Lyrics

At the end of the line
A desolate place at the end of the path where someone is alone and there is no one else around.

in a deserted land
An isolated and deserted place that is deserted by humanity.

the last one in the coal mine
Being the last person in the coal mine, implying that the mine is empty and he is alone.

the last one making his stand
The only person left taking a final stand against something, standing up for his beliefs.

"this might be your last chance",
An opportunity to do something with an underlying implication that this may be your last chance to do it.

the man in the job-center said
Refers to a man who is giving advice or warning about a difficult situation.

gave him just a quick glance
Not taking enough time to look fully at the person or the situation.

from his eyes, those eyes he had seen
Looking into the eyes of the person giving advice and realizing he has seen them before, but cannot remember where.

seen before....long ago....where had he seen these eyes?
Questioning where he might have seen the man's eyes before, unsure if it was in a dream or maybe another place and time.

Excalibur, the world is on fire
Excalibur, the sword of King Arthur, symbolizes the world being in turmoil or under attack.

Excalibur, world in confusion
The world experiencing chaos and confusion, where nobody knows what is happening or what to do next.

Excalibur, common desire
A shared need or want, a common interest amongst people in order to survive the chaos.

Excalibur, vainly illusion
The notion of Excalibur being a false hope or illusion that would not be able to solve the world's problems.

Excalibur, waiting in seclusion
Having no immediate answer, waiting in the shadows until it's time to come out and save the people.

Excalibur...
Repeated referring to the sword as it becomes the focus of the lyrics.

Digging in darkness
Heavy labor in near darkness, with no clear path ahead.

a mighty scorcher
A reference to a fiery heat making it difficult to progress in a mine.

like lost in the deep
To feel as if one is lost in the depths of this darkness.

in his lonesome torture
Emphasizes how the character being alone makes it feel as if they are enduring a painful or agonizing process.

Lost in a side corridor
Seeing the mining operation has strayed into nonessential areas, and now the journey to get out is difficult and confusing.

night or day, he could'nt tell anymore
Unable to discern night from day, so lost or disorientated that time has become irrelevant.

reaching for a hold
Fumbling around for something solid to grab onto for balance or support.

when he felt something cold,
Finding something hard and cold to hold onto, possibly a sign of hope in a dark place.

something hard, maybe old, something strange and cold
Trying to understand the strange and unknown object he has found in the darkness.

and he dug in the mud with bare hands
Using just his bare hands to uncover something hidden or buried, working with pure grit and determination.

and he felt those eyes on him still
Feeling as if someone is watching or keeping an eye on the situation.

and he heard invocations like in a trance
The character hears mysterious voices, out of touch with reality or consciousness.

and the voices started to sing:
Hearing singing voices rather than human ones, adding to the surreal scene.

"We're waiting for the order, all troops on stand by,
Voices are poised and standing by for orders, hints of preparation for battle.

In the name of the exploiteds,
The voices reference the mistreatment of the poor by governments and wealthy elites.

In the name of justice, in the name of freedom,
The voices referencing rallying cries of liberty and the oppressed seeking equality and fair living conditions.

we're ready to die!"
The voices are willing to risk and even lose their lives for a cause they believe in.

and he reached for the hilt...in one go... held it up...
The character reaches for the sword and successfully holds it up, like a hero yielded a weapon.

and he touched the sky.....
The release of the character's immense emotions, finally having something to believe in as support.
