Lyrics

As you make ready to proceed

Preparing to move forward or take action

They wont make it easy to succeed

Anticipating challenges and obstacles on the path to success

Their sharpened swords will make you bleed

Facing imminent danger or opposition, symbolized by sharp swords causing harm

That maybe one day you'll be free

Hopeful that enduring struggles will lead to eventual freedom


Born a slave, no time to grow

Being born into a life of servitude, lacking the opportunity for personal growth

Barbaric life is all you know

Experiencing a harsh and brutal existence characterized by barbaric conditions

But you have heard of lands, with emerald isles, where freedom is bestowed

Awareness of distant lands with better conditions, where freedom is a gift


Some remember, most forget

Some individuals remember, while many others forget the past

Blinded by their own regret

Blinded by remorse or sorrow, hindering the ability to move forward

Ambitions made your plans, you'll take your stand, youll run the gauntlet

Setting ambitious goals, making plans, and bravely facing challenges (gauntlet)


As you make ready to proceed

Reiterating the preparation to advance despite anticipated difficulties

They wont make it easy to succeed

Emphasizing the expected challenges and resistance on the journey to success

Their sharpened swords will make you bleed

Repeating the imagery of sharp swords causing harm and obstacles


As you make ready to proceed

Continuing the theme of readiness to move forward despite expected hardships

They wont make it easy to succeed

Reiterating the idea that success won't come easily and will involve challenges

Their sharpened swords will make you bleed

Repeating the symbolism of sharp swords causing pain and adversity
