Hyborian Steel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down from the North we have come, led by Borri the great
With eyesas grey as the steel burning with heathens rage
Born to enslave and to conquer
Let our enemies taste
HYBORIAN STEEL
We shall avenge all the brothers who died by their knives
To please the hunger of Set with their blood's sacrifice
Smashing Acheronian vanguards
the towers of Python will burn
HYBORIAN STEEL
New kingdoms rise like blue mantles laid under the sky
Mitras will lead us to glory, a new age draws nigh
Never shall we be forgotten
Destiny's book written by
HYBORIAN STEEL
The lyrics to Hyborian Steel's song "Hyborian Steel" are an anthem of conquest and vengeance. The song begins with an introduction to Borri the Great, who has led his warriors down from the North. The lyrics describe Borri's piercing grey eyes, which burn with a heathen's rage. The warriors have come to enslave and conquer, and they vow to make their enemies taste "Hyborian Steel." The term "Hyborian" refers to the fictional ancient world created by author Robert E. Howard, in which his character Conan the Barbarian lived.
The second verse speaks to the mission of the warriors. They are seeking revenge for brothers who died at the hands of their enemies, as part of a blood sacrifice to appease Set, an evil god in Howard's mythology. The warriors are described as smashing through their enemies' defenses and burning their towers. The chorus repeats the rallying cry "Hyborian Steel," emphasizing the power and determination of these warriors.
The final verse speaks to the future these warriors are creating. They are establishing new kingdoms and following the guidance of Mitras, a benevolent god in the Hyborian world. The warriors believe they will never be forgotten, and that their destiny is inextricably linked to the power of their weapons and their willingness to conquer.
