Stronghold
Kari Amirian Lyrics

I hear the warrior's drums
I can hear the sound of traditional drums, played by warriors

Rolling like a distant thunder
The drum sounds are reverberating like distant thunder in my ears

Oooh oh oh they're waiting
I can hear the drums waiting for me to join in with them

Oooh oh oh with me
The drums are calling to me and I can feel them beside me

Crows with their beating wings
I can see crows flapping their wings, beating the air as they fly

Roaring from every angle
It seems like the crows are making a lot of noise while flapping their wings, possibly from all sides

Oooh oh oh they're coming
I can hear the approach of the crows, coming closer with each beat of their wings

Oooh oh oh for me
It seems like the crows may be coming towards me specifically

Spirits surrounding me
I sense that there are ghosts or other non-physical entities nearby

Fighting with screaming shadows
The spirits seem to be engaged in fighting one another, and their movements create dancing shadows which also seem to be making noise

The lion's roar dispelled them
Suddenly, the sound of a lion roaring was heard and the fighting spirits and their shadows disappeared

When I called his name
The lion started making noise when I spoke its name or called out to it in some way

Wake up your lion's heart now
You need to awaken your inner courage, symbolism represented by the 'lion's heart'

Stay strong and gain your life now
Find the strength to overcome your difficulties and find ways to live a fulfilling life

The voice of seven thunders will clear the way
It seems like hearing the voice of thunder seven times could help to remove any obstacles that may be in your path

When you bow down
When you show reverence and humility, you may be rewarded with divine insight or guidance

We'll never walk alone the night
Even on the darkest of nights, there will always be companionship available

Will never overcome the light
No matter how much darkness there may be, light will always triumph over it

The stronghold of his heart
This is a reference to the idea of finding a strong belief system, the 'his' being left purposefully ambiguous to reflect the individuality of such a belief

Is just a little sigh away
Finding such a belief is not difficult and may be simple enough to achieve by a quiet expression or other such small gesture
