Lyrics

The hero of the gods

The protagonist favored by the deities

The crossing of the threshold

Passing a critical point in a journey or adventure

The belly of the whale

A metaphorical descent into a challenging or dangerous situation

Refusal of return

Resistance to coming back or returning from a transformative experience

Hollow eyes

Eyes lacking vitality or emotion

Dry pale legs

Legs devoid of moisture or life

Howling on

Intense vocal expression continuing

Through fields and graves

Moving through open spaces and burial grounds

Language of the signs

Communication through symbols or omens

Symbols to our sight

Signs and symbols visible to the observer

Guardian to thy throne

Protector of a royal seat or position

Take on form

Assuming a tangible form

Daylight

Daytime

Hide the skin

Conceal one's true nature

Cut it off

Remove the outer layer

Scatter ash in the wind

Disperse remains into the air

Shapeshifter rolling on winds of tyrants make

Adaptable entity moving with the force of tyrants

Fierce lore of fanged horn

Intense traditional knowledge of horned creatures

Danger all the way

Risk and hazard throughout the journey

Night's sea reflection

Reflection on the sea during the night

The faces of bodies slain

Faces of deceased bodies

Returning to the form of natural human's fate

Reverting to the natural state of human destiny

Grown from the cold

Developed or matured despite adversity

Spirits unclean

Unclean or malevolent spirits

Dealer of the days

Controller or dispenser of time

The ice will thaw

The frozen state will thaw or change

As the soldier walks through the crimson side

As a warrior moves through a bloody battlefield

Researchers of aftermath

Investigators studying the consequences

Dispelling disarming man

Eliminating the threat posed by disarming individuals

One-toed horses subject of Genesis

Horses with a single toe as a subject of creation

And the immigrants

And those who have migrated

Fundamental side of a human mind

Essential aspect of the human psyche

Hulder folk and fairies

Supernatural beings and magical creatures

So believe

Hold a belief in

The hero of the gods

The favored hero of the gods

The crossing of the threshold

Passing through a crucial stage in a journey

The belly of the whale

A metaphorical descent into a challenging situation

Refusal of return

Resistance to returning from a transformative experience
