Hiding In Shadows
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have just found out
I'm the chosen one
I am the great Sir Knight
Rescue young maidens
Fighting evil dragons
I'll defeat all the giants
In the shadow of steel
I am Don Quijote
Of La Mancha
Evil forces stand back!
And you black knights
Out of darkness
You'll beware of my attack
In the shadow of steel
They say I've gone mad
And my fate's rather sad
All the fame and the glory




I seek but they say I've read too many stories
In the shadow of steal

He asks the black knights to beware of his attack which he would carry out holding his sword, the Shadow of Steel. However, people think that he has gone mad and that his fate is rather sad. They believe that he has read too many stories and is living in a fantasy world.


Overall, the lyrics express the inner emotions of a knight who fights against the evildoers, even though people around him consider him to be insane. The song is composed with heavy power metal music, the lyrics take the listener on a journey through the knight's battles, fears, and determination.
