Gate Through the Past
Holy Knights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A demon, sovereign from hell.
He's coming to be a new fearful king
In the name of the sins he will be.
His dark power reigns over all the lands,
Suffer and pain once again
Rivers of blood fire and steel Chaos forever will be?
The scream of the soul are calling the lord
A thunder in the air a new judgement day
The good and evil fight again.
Mystical knight what have you done to win your fear...
Alone above echoes of sword come near... but you...
You hear the howls of your child, so face the real.
A gate through the past, your fighting spirit comes here.
A new war begins, the clash of two kings
The echoes of war ride the wind
The good on one hand, the evil on the other
Neverending bloodshed on the lands.
Mystical knight what have you done to win your fear...
Alone above echoes of sword come near... but you...
You hear the howls of your child, so face the real.
A gate through the past, your fighting spirit comes here.
The fight's at the end the good wins again
The demon will fall into the hell
Wherever the peace and love will be killed
The knights will revive from their sleep.
Mystical knight what have you done to win your fear...
Alone above echoes of sword come near... but you...
You hear the howls of your child, so face the real.
A gate through the past, your fighting spirit comes here.
The lyrics of this song by Holy Knights delve into the concept of good versus evil and the endless battles that take place between the two. The opening lines paint a picture of a land that was once beautiful and enchanting, but now controlled by a demon from hell who seeks to establish himself as a new and terrifying king. His reign is characterized by suffering and pain, with rivers of blood, fire and steel as the constant realities. Despite this, the people who inhabit these lands continue to cry out in desperation for divine intervention, a call that eventually extends to mystical knights who, armed with their swords, will fight to end this evil reign.
The song, in a way, highlights the different perspectives of those who engage in these battles. On the one hand, there is the demon who seeks to exert his influence over the people and establish himself as the ultimate authority. On the other hand, there are the knights who are committed to justice and are willing to risk their lives for the greater good. The fight between good and evil is described as unstoppable and never-ending, a conflict that can only end with one side emerging victorious in the end. The lyrics also seem to suggest that despite the losses and pain that the good side may face, their resilience, dedication and bravery will ultimately lead them to victory.

J'adooooooooooore sans restriction. Le tempo est dynamique et si l'on considère que sans connaître le titre des morceaux j'imaginais en les écoutant des chevauchées sur les terres celtiques (entre autres) on dit que "le contrat est honoré" et l'honneur en ces temps d'alors........ he oui, j'aime beaucoup l'Histoire et surtout celle de ma Bretagne qui se conjugue parfaitement avec ce style de musique.... c'est moins plan plan que les menuets auxquels beaucoup de gens associe "le temps jadis...."...
