But gods! How long I've waited just to see this very hour!
It's just as well I'm not the one who calls the storm of fire---
Or I would turn this battle plain into your funeral pyre!
The priests all say I must not hate--- but I will not pretend.
I saw the wreck you made of her, my Herald and my friend---
The scars you left in flesh and soul will be so slow to fade---
Oh, would I had your coward heart beneath my naked blade!
I must control my rage, or lose ability to plan,
I must direct the fight from here, not charging in the van.
As you will likewise do, no doubt, for all that you are cruel
And revel in shed blood and pain, I think you are no fool.
But in the name of all the gods, you're all that I despise,
Who planned to take by treachery my kingdom as your prize---
My throne, my child, my people. All, you plotted to despoil---
By tricks that only miracles enabled us to foil.
I must control my fury or let slip all that I've sought-
But vengeance would not be enough for all the grief you've wrought.
Gods grant this day you fall beneath the steel of me and mine---
And drink full deeply of defeat, that cold and bitter wine.
My crown is on my brow, my naked blade within my hand.
My army like an eager hound lies waiting my command.
With how you tortured, killed and lied revealed to them this day---
By all the stars that ever shone,
By all the gods, known and unknown,
For Herald Kris and my Queen's Own---
I swear that you will pay!
Analysis:
This song is one of those few songs that are unique enough to be hooked on no matter what. It's one of those songs that brings out things like "dragons", "mages", and things like that. The tone of the song in the video has that mesmerizing effect that will most likely get you thinking "what more is out there like this?" and start look for the rest of it.
I must contain my anger, or I won't control my power-
But gods! How long I've waited just to see this very hour!
It's just as well I'm not the one who calls the storm of fire---
Or I would turn this battle plain into your funeral pyre!
The priests all say I must not hate--- but I will not pretend.
I saw the wreck you made of her, my Herald and my friend---
The scars you left in flesh and soul will be so slow to fade---
Oh, would I had your coward heart beneath my naked blade!
The first verse is like the logic in the situation like in the third verse in the song. The line "I must contain my anger, or I won't control my power" is obviously the thought if she let go to her anger, she'll lash out at everyone but those that need the angry side but... she wanted to see that very hour. She wanted to see him the way things became with him. On his side, he's suffering while she's enjoying the fact that he's getting what he deserves. In the third line, she's the innocent one but not afraid to make that battlefield the place of burial for all that oppose her. In the second verse, the first and second lines are the truth. I mean, priests in this situation always say that hate is not the answer but pretending is not the answer. The injuries that the opposer had inflicted will like the lyric says "will be so slow to fade" and him/her under her naked blade.
I must control my rage, or lose ability to plan,
I must direct the fight from here, not charging in the van.
As you will likewise do, no doubt, for all that you are cruel
And revel in shed blood and pain, I think you are no fool.
But in the name of all the gods, you're all that I despise,
Who planned to take by treachery my kingdom as your prize---
My throne, my child, my people. All, you plotted to despoil---
By tricks that only miracles enabled us to foil.
The first line of the third verse that goes "I must control my rage, or lose ability to plan" which is basically another truth. It's like.... rage impairs certain abilities. Planning is actually one of them and in order to stay in the clear, a clear head must be a necessity. But the ones that oppress the ruler of the kingdom will let their rage impair their judgment like alcohol would and honestly, that is what would foil their plans. But due to them reveling in bloodshed and the pain they cause, they're no fools by any standards. But the following verse is like, the ones that are trying to take over those that they are after, it was a miracle that those victims were able to foil their plans when their rage was unable to.
I must control my fury or let slip all that I've sought-
But vengeance would not be enough for all the grief you've wrought.
Gods grant this day you fall beneath the steel of me and mine---
And drink full deeply of defeat, that cold and bitter wine.
My crown is on my brow, my naked blade within my hand.
My army like an eager hound lies waiting my command.
With how you tortured, killed and lied revealed to them this day---
By all the stars that ever shone,
By all the gods, known and unknown,
For Herald Kris and my Queen's Own---
I swear that you will pay!
The first of these 2 verses is basically like, a prayer that those that want to go after the leaders of the kingdom to fall dead before them like the line "Gods grant this day you fall beneath the steel of me and mine" basically saying that the ruler wanted to personally kill them. In the second verse of this grouping, the second line "My army like an eager hound lies waiting my command" is just a descriptive way of saying that they're ready to kill those that try to kill the ruler. And the very last lines: "By all the stars that ever shone" "By all the gods, known and unknown" For Herald Kris and my Queen's own---" "I swear that you will pay" basically is showing that he/she won't have anything of what they are plotting.
I hope you liked this song. I have a few other songs like this coming your way. :D
Until next time,
Wildcat (Mreow) :3
