The Quest
SuidAkrA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Arthur:]
Still the giants dance
At salisbury plain
Still my spirit wanders
To reach this higher aim
We call the gods
For a quest of truth and wisdom
As long as you see the giants dance
My spirit wanders through the land
[Gwalchmei:]
Led by the strength of bran
And the timeless kings of Avalon
The four winds of the land
I will strive for the caldron
[Bedwyr:]
Led by the swiftness of winds
I will wander through the farest glens
My sentence is my deed
Is there a view of sense unknown?
[Arthur:]
Craving for some armament to outlast
This cold royal path
I can hear them call
The king must fall
Strayed by the four winds
Over the land and far away
Through the dark and cold
Hear my song of grief
But there's a tune that gone astray
While the world grow old
[Menw:]
Each tone that ever met the wind
Finally reaches Math and so me
Sight and breathless I am
Believe and trust is a value for the weak
The lyrics to SuidAkrA's song 'The Quest' seems to center around Arthur and his knights embarking on a journey or quest to seek truth and wisdom. The opening lines, "Still the giants dance at Salisbury plain. Still, my spirit wanders to reach this higher aim" paint a picture of the knights standing in awe of the giants dancing at Salisbury Plains, inspiring them to seek higher knowledge. The knights in this song are Gwalchmei, Bedwyr, and Menw, who are all on a journey to find something. Gwalchmei is led by the strength of Bran and the kings of Avalon, while Bedwyr is led by the swiftness of winds.
The theme of the quest appears again in the lines, "For a quest of truth and wisdom" and "I will strive for the cauldron". This journey is not easy, as portrayed by the lines "Through the dark and cold. Hear my song of grief" and "Craving for some armament to outlast this cold royal path". It seems like the end goal is to bring down the king, indicated by "I can hear them call. The king must fall". However, the line "But there's a tune that has gone astray, while the world grows old" portrays a sense of loss amidst the journey.
Overall, the song appears to be a journey of bravery, questioning, seeking, and eventual loss of something important.
