Defence
Nordafrost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Climb over the line of the horizon
We're lurking on the tops of sturdy walls
Men at arms their lungs filled with the winter's breeze
Down below salty waves beat the rocks
Our fortress withstands the teeth of time
I feel the weapon cold and moist in my hands
Chorus:
In the grey raging seas up north
The defence stands strong as a rock
From the coastal fortress high above
We are defending the winter's realm
Then we can see them coming from the south
Having embarked a thousand miles away
Their objective is to defeat us
And finally to invade the frozen fields behind our lines
Willing to avoid this at all costs
We are awaiting their approach
An unimaginable tension in our limbs
Waiting to have them in range of our arms
Chorus
The moment has come at last
It's time to open fire
A hundred blows crashing out of our tubes
The earth quakes from artillery longing for cannon fodder
Fatally surprised no time to fire back
The Saracens abandon their crippled ships
Smoke fire pieces of wood
The invaders fleet :
No more than pitiful remains...
Chorus
Victory for the northern defence!
In Nordafrost's song "Defence," the lyrics describe a scene of soldiers guarding a fortress along a rocky coastline against an approaching enemy force. The imagery is vivid, with the first rays of light illuminating the horizon as the soldiers stand alert on the fortress walls, their lungs filled with the icy winter breeze. The lyrics also detail the weapons held by the soldiers, with the singer feeling the "weapon cold and moist in my hands." As the enemy approaches, tension builds as the soldiers await their approach, ready to defend against their invasion.
The chorus emphasizes the strength of the soldiers' defense, describing it as "strong as a rock" and their duty to protect the "winter's realm." As the enemy comes closer, the soldiers see their ships approaching from the south, having embarked on a long journey to defeat them. But the soldiers are prepared, guarded and mentally attuned in their defense, waiting for them to enter range before unleashing a powerful attack.
In the end, their defense is successful, with the invaders' fleet left in "pitiful remains." The song celebrates this victory for the "northern defense." Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of determination, strength, and bravery in the face of an encroaching enemy force, and the importance of guarding the homeland against those who would seek to invade and conquer it.

As the first rays of light
At daybreak
Climb over the line of the horizon
Sunrise on the horizon
We're lurking on the tops of sturdy walls
Guarding from high up on the fortress wall
Men at arms their lungs filled with the winter's breeze
Soldiers prepared for winter battle
Down below salty waves beat the rocks
Raging waves of the sea below
Our fortress withstands the teeth of time
The fortress stands strong through the ages
I feel the weapon cold and moist in my hands
The sensation of holding a cold, wet weapon
My eyes are more than awake focussing out to infinity
Eyes wide open, scanning the horizon for any threat
In the grey raging seas up north
The turbulent northern sea
The defence stands strong as a rock
The fortress's defense is unyielding
From the coastal fortress high above
Atop the mighty coastal fortress
We are defending the winter's realm
Protecting the wintry terrain
Then we can see them coming from the south
The enemy is sighted approaching from the south
Having embarked a thousand miles away
Traveled a great distance from their homeland
Their objective is to defeat us
Intent on taking down the fortress
And finally to invade the frozen fields behind our lines
To spread out and take over beyond the fortress
Willing to avoid this at all costs
Determined to prevent invasion
We are awaiting their approach
Prepared to face them head-on
An unimaginable tension in our limbs
Muscles tense with anticipation
Waiting to have them in range of our arms
Ready to attack when the enemy is close enough
The moment has come at last
The moment of attack has arrived
It's time to open fire
The order to attack is given
A hundred blows crashing out of our tubes
The fierce attack from the fortress's canons
The earth quakes from artillery longing for cannon fodder
The fortress's powerful canons shake the ground as they fire relentlessly
Fatally surprised no time to fire back
The enemy caught off guard unable to properly retaliate
The Saracens abandon their crippled ships
The enemy retreats, leaving behind their damaged ships
Smoke fire pieces of wood
The enemy's ships in flames, destroyed
The invaders fleet: No more than pitiful remains...
The enemy's entire fleet now destroyed and defeated
Victory for the northern defence!
Success in defending the fortress and defeat of the enemy
