White Skull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring her all the paraments renew the fire
In the hall
There's no reason to fight for the life
Slowly goes the Queen to the meeting she have
With the snake
With no freedom no joy knew anymore
And the willing to set free her world
[Chorus]
In the field of peace
She purify her soul
She's no mortal, she precious stone
Jackal calls your name
Fairy Queen of gold
You'll be sitting side by side now
Mornin' found the land haggard and worn
Rise the cries from the slaves down on
Their knees they stay now
The sun's dawnin' again and again, the vessel
With the Queen soul is sailing away
On that day
With no freedom no joy knew anymore
It was the anguish that long in heart she bore
And the willing to set free her world
The lyrics to White Skull's "The Fields of Peace" explores the concept of finding inner peace amidst chaos and personal struggles. The song begins with a call to "close the door of the temple of hope" and to "renew the fire" in preparation for the Queen's journey to the meeting with the snake. The Queen represents humanity and the snake is a symbol of life's challenges that one must face in order to find peace.
The second verse reveals the Queen's state of mind, which is plagued by a lack of freedom and joy. The lyrics suggest that the Queen is burdened by the anguish she carries in her heart and her desire to free her world from these negative emotions. In the chorus, the Queen is depicted as purifying her soul in the field of peace, where she becomes a precious stone with the respect of a goddess. She is then able to sit side by side with the jackal, another symbol of life's challenges, signaling a shift towards a state of harmony.

Close the door of the temple of hope
Shut down any expectations and aspirations
Bring her all the paraments renew the fire
Rekindle the spirit by bringing all the necessary materials
In the hall
Inside the grand room
There's no reason to fight for the life
No point in struggling for survival
Slowly goes the Queen to the meeting she have
The Queen walks leisurely towards her appointment
With the snake
In the presence of a serpent
With no freedom no joy knew anymore
Living life without freedom and happiness
It was the anguish that long in heart she bore
The pain she carried for so long in her heart
And the willing to set free her world
Her desire to liberate the world from suffering
In the field of peace
In a tranquil meadow
She purify her soul
Her soul becomes purified
She's no mortal, she precious stone
She's not an ordinary human being, but a precious gem
Jackal calls your name
A jackal is calling out her name
Fairy Queen of gold
A beautiful and noble ruler
You'll be sitting side by side now
You will finally be together
Mornin' found the land haggard and worn
The land is desolate and tired come morning
Rise the cries from the slaves down on
The sound of slaves crying out fills the air
Their knees they stay now
They kneel and remain in that position
The sun's dawnin' again and again, the vessel
Every day, the sun rises once more, and the ship
With the Queen soul is sailing away
That carries the soul of the Queen departs
On that day
At that moment
With no freedom no joy knew anymore
Living life without freedom and happiness
It was the anguish that long in heart she bore
The pain she carried for so long in her heart
And the willing to set free her world
Her desire to liberate the world from suffering
