Cold Steel
Battling Shadows: Unveiling the Dark Tale of 'Cold Steel'
Lyrics
Hopelessly lost, a battle not won
Feeling utterly defeated, unable to win a battle.
You're running in panic,
Fleeing in fear and haste.
Away from the guns
Escaping from the threat of guns or violence.
Panic is striking at those all around
Panic spreading among those nearby.
Beware the Grim Reaper,
A warning about death, symbolized by the Grim Reaper.
He rests all around
Death is omnipresent.
My name is evil
Self-identifying as evil.
Soon you shall see
Implying that the evil nature will become evident.
You will obey me
Commanding obedience.
Or watch yourself bleed
Warning of the consequences, potentially violent, if disobedient.
Fight for your life, with cold steel at hand
Encouraging a fight for survival using weaponry.
Run for the forest, live off of the land
Suggesting a retreat to nature for survival.
You'll seek the dark shadows
Advocating seeking refuge in the shadows for safety.
For there safety lies
Implying danger in the open, safety in concealed places.
It rests with the tarot,
Suggesting reliance on fate, possibly through tarot cards.
You hear the wolves cry
Noting the symbolic howling of wolves, possibly a warning or omen.
My name is evil
Reiteration of self-identification as evil.
Soon you shall see
Foretelling the revelation of the evil nature.
You will obey me
Commanding obedience, reiterating the consequence of disobedience.
Or watch yourself bleed
Reiterating the potential violent outcome for disobedience.
Stop for a rest, jump at all sounds
Stopping for a break, heightened alertness to sounds.
Hot on your trail, pursuit all around
Pursuit is intense and surrounds the individual.
You're leaping from cover,
Moving stealthily and using cover.
Your sword fills your hand
Weaponry, particularly a sword, being gripped tightly.
You fight your last battle
Facing a decisive and likely final battle.
Make your last stand
Taking a final stand, likely in a life-or-death situation.
My name is evil
Reiteration of self-identification as evil.
Soon you shall see
Foretelling the revelation of the evil nature.
You will obey me
Commanding obedience, reiterating the consequence of disobedience.
Or watch yourself bleed
Reiterating the potential violent outcome for disobedience.
