Lyrics
Step inside and join us tonight.
Invitation to join an event or gathering tonight.
Don't stand in the cold like strangers.
Advice not to remain distant or unfamiliar.
Thank you brother, we kindly accept.
Expressing gratitude for acceptance.
Let us feast tonight to the grace of God
Suggesting a celebration tonight in gratitude to God.
The night continued in a high mood
Describing a lively night.
but when all had went to bed
Shift in mood as people went to bed.
a darker temper started to intrude.
Introduction of a darker atmosphere.
The royal pair, surprised!
Surprise of the royal pair.
This night of infamy
Reference to a memorable and dishonorable night.
I will never forget
Emphasizing the unforgettable nature of the night.
nor will my brothers,
Commitment of remembrance by the speaker and comrades.
the vengeance I'll get.
Pledge for revenge due to the betrayal.
I'll leave you restless,
Promise to cause unease and discomfort.
I'll leave you blind
Declaration of causing blindness metaphorically.
until one night:
Hinting at a future event with suspense.
A stab from behind.
Anticipating a betrayal or attack from behind.
Although my eyes beheld cheap
Regret about misjudging a situation despite seeing it as inferior.
I should not have mistaken the wolves' scent.
Realization of a dangerous presence.
Their souls awaits nocturnal domains
Belief in the awaiting of the souls in the night.
their sweet taste of victory is only lent.
Acknowledgment that the taste of victory is temporary.
Locked behind steel and stone,
Imprisonment described metaphorically behind strong barriers.
locked away by infamy.
Connection of imprisonment with dishonor.
Listening to my reflections of life.
Contemplation on life during captivity.
Starving us to skin and bone,
Description of extreme deprivation and suffering.
leaving us to agony.
Expression of intense pain and torment.
Seeing signs too late of their strife.
Realization of signs of conflict but too late.
Now we are the ones to rule
Claiming authority and control after overcoming adversity.
the kingdom like it should,
Declaration of rightful rule over the kingdom.
as finally the credulous fool
Reference to the previous ruler as a gullible person.
is set aside for all of time.
Permanent removal of the deceived ruler from power.
