Forgotten
Herjalf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pages of old books
Blew out forever
Lost like their secrets...
Forgotten God,
Forgotten hero
Forgotten song
Of the greatest artist
Like the dust
All of them have disappeared
From the remembrance...
Nobody hears the callind of
Their lost soulds
When they are asking for honour
As if their presence
Doesn't mean anything...
Eternal circle of history
Is a chance for memories
Of great affairs
Blew out forever
Today's new God
Today's new hero




Will sing a poem
Of the greatest artist

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Herjalf's song "Forgotten" portray the idea of time being the cruel destroyer of great empires and even greater heroes. The lines "Pages of old books/ Blew out forever/ Lost like their secrets..." paint a picture of irrevocable loss, as the memories and stories of legendary heroes become lost in time, much like the wind blowing away the scattered pages of a book. The next lines "Forgotten God/ Forgotten hero/ Forgotten song/ Of the greatest artist" further emphasize the idea that even the greatest achievers and artists of their time can be forgotten or replaced with the emergence of new heroes and idols. This also highlights how history is cyclic, where today's icons will inevitably be replaced by new ones in the future.


The following lines "Like the dust/ All of them have disappeared/ From the remembrance..." depict the fleeting nature of time, where everything that once held immense value and significance eventually succumbs to the ravages of time and is forgotten. The lines "Nobody hears the calling of/ Their lost souls/ When they are asking for honour/ As if their presence/ Doesn't mean anything..." showcase how souls of these forgotten heroes seek recognition, but their voices go unheard as the world has moved on.
