Into the Valley of Death
Journey Through Betrayal: High Warden's Tale of Defeat and Redemption
Lyrics
Once in a far Northern land
Refers to a distant, northern location.
A battle not fought to the end
Describes a battle that didn't reach its conclusion.
By the Enemy’s evil deceit
Highlights the deceitful actions of the enemy.
A victory turned to defeat
An initial win that turned into a loss.
Unacceptable insult for the warlord’s pride
An insult that the warlord cannot accept due to pride.
Open wound that just delayed the final fight
An open wound that postpones the final battle.
Into the valley of death
Embarking on a dangerous journey into death's valley.
Furious and stern
Entering fiercely and sternly.
Against the knight of black breath
Fighting against a formidable opponent with dark qualities.
Never to return
No intention of coming back from the battle.
Mocked and challenged the young king accepts and rides
Acceptance of mockery and challenge by the young king, leading to action.
Towards the tower where dark sorcery resides
Heading towards a place where dark magic resides.
Broken the line of the kings
The lineage of kings is disrupted or fractured.
The stewards now rule in their stead
Others have assumed control in place of the kings.
Until the king returns, they sing
Anticipating the return of the king while others govern.
A shadow who walks with the dead
A reference to a mysterious figure associated with death.
Into the valley of death
Repeating the perilous journey into death's valley.
Prophecy unheard
A prophecy goes unnoticed or unheeded.
Under the yoke of black breath
Suffering under the control of the ominous opponent.
Peace is disturbed
The disturbance of peace due to the presence of the antagonist.
