Shadowrise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken, bruised from the fight, for eternal life
His face is marked and scarred by demons
Claws rip through his heart, his eyes are gleaming cold and dark
Django, He traveled through hell and back
Django, black flames burning from his soul
Django, corruption is all he knows
In a realm of illusions he reaches for heavens alone
Slaying all in his way, to claim his rightful throne
His face is marked and scarred by demons
Claws rip through his heart, his eyes are gleaming cold and dark
Django, He traveled through hell and back
Django, black flames burning from his soul
Django, corruption is all he knows
Django, heed his name
And through the madness of it all
Thorugh his final fall
Death has claimed its price today
No longer haunted by his past, his curtains closing fast
The world shudders at his name
The world shudders at his name
Django, He traveled through hell and back
Django, black flames burning from his soul
Django, corruption is all he knows
Django, heed his name
The lyrics to Shadowrise's song Django tell the story of a warrior who has faced countless trials and tribulations. Despite being broken and bruised from the fight, he journeys through the darkness of the night, facing demons and all sorts of challenges to earn eternal life. The singer's encounter with demons leaves him with scars and marks on his face. The demons' claws rip through his heart, but his eyes continue to gleam cold and dark.
Django travels through realms of illusion to reach the heavens, slaying all in his way to claim his rightful throne. He becomes known as a corrupt warrior with a reputation that shudders the world at his name. The final verse reveals that Django has met his demise, and the world is no longer haunted by him. He is remembered as a warrior who traveled through hell and back. Through this story, the song embodies the essence of the hero's journey.
