Land of Broken Hearts
Echoes of Desolation: Unveiling the Brutal Realities in Royal Hunt's 'Land of Broken Hearts'
Lyrics
See a thousand bodies crackin 'n' fallin' back,
Observing numerous individuals collapsing and retreating under intense pressure or attack.
Rows of loaded weapon ready to attack.
A formation of armed forces ready to initiate an assault.
Sharp pain screams like hell in a victim's eyes.
Expressions of intense pain resembling hell in the eyes of a victim.
Want to say to everyone, promises were lies
Expressing a desire to inform everyone that promises made were deceitful.
And here we go again, back to back,
Repetition of the cycle of conflict, facing adversaries closely.
Round and round,
A description of the repetitive nature of the confrontations.
And here we go again, back to back,
Reiteration of the recurring cycle of facing challenges in close succession.
One shot, buddy, and you're hitting the ground
A warning that a single shot can lead to someone's downfall.
Land of broken hearts.
Introduction of the concept of a place characterized by shattered emotions and disillusioned love.
One more shot and another friend's gone.
Highlighting the loss of another friend due to a gunshot.
Land of broken hearts,
Reaffirming the theme of a place where hearts are broken.
Pray to your god, 'cause the killing's begun.
An urging to pray to a higher power as the act of killing has commenced.
See a million faces, can you let it go?
Observing a multitude of faces and questioning the ability to remain indifferent or unaffected.
Try to stop this bloody rain paintin' on the snow.
An attempt to halt the metaphorical "bloody rain" staining the purity symbolized by snow.
Blood, death, all around, livin' on the edge,
Describing a world filled with blood, death, living on the brink of danger.
Look smashed flesh
Visualizing the aftermath of violence with damaged flesh.
And bones prayin' for revenge.
Depicting shattered bones and a plea for retribution or justice.
