Etzel
White Skull Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wild, marching like blind
One only goal in his mind:
Pillaging treasures and lands
Eager and fierce
Ruler of men who came
To raze all they met

He came along a road of blood
Going on through streets of death
Raising up his arch of gold
Marching on he came to wreck men, women and lands - Etzel!

Cruel, in the circle of hell
You lay in a river of boiling blood
You're blood thirsty and lost
You're called scourge of God
You wanna create an army
With soldiers of death

He came along a road of blood
Going on through streets of death
Raising up his arch of gold
Marching on he came to wreck men, women and lands

Etzel nomad came through kingdoms
Blood and fear he brought
Cruel and wild came down to Rome
Gold and slaves he caught

Fight, you man of war
Your arch and horse won't let you
Down and you'll reach your desires
But you're gonna fall




Battles have gone
Your blood will kill you in your bed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of White Skull's song "Etzel" depict a brutal and merciless conqueror who goes by the name Etzel. He is described as someone who is determined to pillage all the treasures and lands that come in his way, and he leads a group of men who are equally fierce and eager. The song highlights the destruction and chaos that Etzel brings with him wherever he goes, as he marches on through streets of death and lays waste to every place he encounters.


The second half of the song portrays Etzel as someone who is lost and bloodthirsty, and he is referred to as the scourge of God. He intends to create an army of soldiers of death and rule over all the lands he conquers. However, the song suggests that he will not find true victory because battles have gone and his bloodlust will ultimately be his undoing, as it will kill him in his bed.
