The King's Return
Krusader Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven or hell is this emissary from?
Cheating my soul art my eyes!
How canst such a resemblance exist?
No! Among sun and moon
Resemblance there is
The most correct word for what I see
This sensation that drowns my spirit
Makes me call thee Hamlet,
King of Denmark, my father!
I do not fear for my life, because
I'm so immortal as thee
And there's no way to lose something
That doth not has belonged to us
Go ahead, I'll follow thee and soon
I'll know the reasons...
Why hath the king returned...
Tell me, my beloved father
What make thee rip out of thy shroud
And walk once again in a world
That doth not belong to thee anymore
Tell me, lord of the lords,
Owner of my soul
Thou art so generous for giving me life
Tell me what I canst do
To bring thee peace
And I shall satisfy thy will
Thou hast broken the walls which
Separate the worlds. Why?
Thou hast broken the peace that awaits
For us since born we wert
Tell me father, I'm begging
In the name of the years
That I hast given thee
All my honest feelings
The lyrics of Krusader's song The King's Return begin with the singer wondering whether the skies above him represent heaven or hell. He then questions the existence of something or someone that resembles his own soul so closely that he feels cheated by it. However, he realizes that this resemblance is not limited to his own soul but extends to everything around him, including the sun and the moon. He uses the word "equality" to describe this sensation and then goes on to address Hamlet, the King of Denmark, who he refers to as his father. He tells him that he fears nothing because he is just as immortal as Hamlet and there is no way for him to lose anything that does not belong to him. He pledges to follow him to find out why the king has returned.
The second part of the lyrics has the singer addressing his father directly and asking him why he has returned to a world that no longer belongs to him. He asks him what he can do to bring him peace and make him happy. He questions why his father has broken the walls that separate the worlds and the peace that they were meant to bring. He concludes by begging his father to listen to him and trust his honest feelings.
The song seems to deal with themes of mortality, legacy, and the relationships between fathers and sons. It acknowledges the fact that all things are equal in the end and that death is the great equalizer. The singer's quest to find out why his father has returned from the afterlife could be read as a metaphor for our own search for meaning and purpose in life. The song's use of Shakespearean language and references to Hamlet add to its dramatic and poetic character.
