Avalon

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where magic rules as king
The moon beneath the castle walls
As the nightingale sings
The golden bird
He gave to me
What happiness he brings
As the nightingale sings
And so we sat, hand in hand and watched the fireflies
And never spoke a single word
But lived to do or die
We lived to do or die
Back to the days of Avalon
Where magic ruled as king
The moon beneath the castle walls
As the nightingale sings
And so we sat, hand in hand and watched the fireflies
And never spoke a single word
But lived to do or die
We lived to do or die
We read of tales of treason
A soldiers legacy
Blood beneath the crimson sky
Fighting without reason
But the crime of loyalty
A tattered flag left to fly
Back to the days of Avalon
Where magic ruled as king
The moon beneath the castles walls
As the nightingale sings
The branches bent
Like an archers bow
As he spread his wings
And flew beneath the gentle snow
As the nightingale sings
Back to the days of Avalon
Where magic rules as king
The moon beneath the castle walls
As the nightingale sings
As the nightingale sings
The song “Avalon” by Blackmore's Night is steeped in medieval romanticism. The lyrics evoke a bygone era where magic reigns as king in the days when Avalon was still present. The moon is shining beneath a castle's walls, as a nightingale sings, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. The singer is given a golden bird that brings happiness, much like a star on a Christmas tree. The second verse reiterates the beauty of the moment shared in silence, where the lovers sat hand in hand watching fireflies. They lived to do or die, which could mean they were living in the moment, not caring for what was to come.

The moon beneath the castle walls
Beneath the castle walls, the moon is shining bright

The nightingale gave its song to the singer

The artist and their companion sit together and enjoy the sight of fireflies
And never spoke a single word
They didn't feel the need to talk

A soldiers legacy
The stories were based on a soldier's life and deeds
Blood beneath the crimson sky
The battles took place under a sky full of blood-colored clouds
Fighting without reason
People fought for no apparent reason
But the crime of loyalty
Staying loyal to one's own side was considered a punishable offense
A tattered flag left to fly
Despite the odds, the defeated side's flag still flies, although it's now in a tattered state
The branches bent
The trees' branches are bent downward
Like an archers bow
They're bent like an archer's bow
As he spread his wings
Despite being so bent, the bird successfully spreads its wings
And flew beneath the gentle snow
The bird managed to fly away even in the snowy weather
As the nightingale sings
The bird continues to sing its song even as it flies away
Back to the days of Avalon
Let's revisit the golden days of Avalon once again
Where magic rules as king
Where magic is the all-powerful ruler
The moon beneath the castle walls
The magnificent moon shining under the castle walls
As the nightingale sings
As the nightingale bird sings melodiously
As the nightingale sings
As the nightingale bird sings melodiously (repeated)
